Thanks to its REST and GraphQL interfaces, the Selbits system is fundamentally compatible with any ERP system, provided that the ERP system allows for the continuous and structured export of the required data records. To date, we have successfully integrated with ABAS, Infor, Dynamics Navision, and other niche ERPs and custom developments. If you have any specific questions about integrating your ERP system, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Book your personal consultation appointment to discuss questions about linking to your ERP system.
Depending on the Selfbits modules used, relevant data includes, for example, operating and production orders, master data records for materials, products, parts lists, and work plans, as well as other relevant information required for data collection and allocation during production.
Upon request, data can be provided via an interface for feedback to the ERP system, e.g. for the purpose of post-calculation.
We would be pleased to arrange a meeting to demonstrate how Selfbits can assist you in maintaining an overview of important information.
Yes. Information about production orders can be accessed directly via the tablet instead of on paper. Documentation is carried out via tablet input by employees in production. Selfbits thus offers the possibility to enter information about order processing, any malfunctions that occur, and the start and end of production orders.

Yes, it is possible to record malfunctions, including the reasons for them. Malfunctions are recorded either manually by production staff on a tablet or automatically via machine data collection. For automatic malfunction detection, machine signals must be able to be interpreted.
In a consultation, we will show you the way to transparency in the event of machine malfunctions.
No. The majority of the data collected is now entered via tablet or scanned, which is more time-efficient and less prone to errors than paper-based methods. Selfbits aims to make data collection simple with as little interaction as possible on the tablet or with the scanner. Part-related traceability requires additional interactions, the effort of which varies depending on the desired data accuracy. The more detailed the production data to be collected, the more extensive the collection effort tends to be.
Would you like to learn how comprehensive data collection can work? Schedule an initial consultation today.
Data collection can be done manually or automatically. Operating data can be entered manually using a tablet at the workplace or on a machine. Employees record production data at the location and time of occurrence. Where possible, machine data can be recorded automatically via control systems. This requires valid signal recording from the machines, which is captured via control systems and processed or interpreted in the cloud.
Take advantage of this opportunity and book a free consultation today. We will be happy to advise you on the various options for data collection so that no important information is overlooked.
Yes. Manual data collection in production is carried out using standard tablets. Industrial control systems are used for automatic machine data collection, if required. Depending on your desired objectives, we will work with you in a workshop and during the project planning phase to determine your requirements for additional hardware.

We would be pleased to arrange a meeting to demonstrate how Selfbits can assist you in maintaining an overview of important information.
Yes, with Selfbits you can view the current material consumption per machine. The tablet view shows the material consumption for the current shift. In the web application, material consumption can be viewed over a longer period of time. This requires the recording of material consumption, for example in terms of length or weight.
We help you to determine your material requirements as accurately as possible. Make an appointment today!
Yes, Selfbits offers cycle time analysis. This allows cycle time, processing time, and downtime to be viewed prior to processing. A prerequisite for the analysis is part-based traceability in production, which can be implemented with Selfbits. The key figures can be calculated based on the data continuously recorded during part tracking. Selfbits offers the possibility to map production processes according to your process flow on a workstation-specific basis. You can obtain the key figures for each workstation from the software and calculate the throughput time using the modeled process.
Schedule an initial consultation today, during which we will be happy to explain the necessary steps to you.
Yes. A comparison of the planned completion date and the actual completion of the corresponding production order provides information on whether the order was completed as planned. Selfbits can record the time of completion of production orders. The actual time of completion can then be compared with the planned time. Order-related traceability provides insight into production progress, allowing orders to be tracked transparently.
We would be pleased to demonstrate how Selfbits can assist you in keeping track of important information during a non-binding initial consultation.
Yes, Selfbits offers the option to record and evaluate the amount of waste. The number of rejected parts for the current shift can be viewed on the tablet and in the web application. For evaluations relating to the past, Selfbits provides corresponding analyses in the web application. A prerequisite for evaluating rejects is the distinction between good and bad parts during data collection.
In a consultation, we will show you how to achieve transparency in data collection.
Yes. With the help of order- or part-based traceability throughout production, order progress can be viewed in Selfbits. By tracking individual orders or parts with reference to defined workstations or storage locations, information can be accessed via the web application.
We will show you how to achieve the highest possible level of traceability in your production. Schedule an appointment today!
Yes, Selfbits can record current stock levels at temporary storage facilities. By tracking individual orders or parts with reference to defined workstations or storage locations, information on current stocks in intermediate storage locations can be accessed via the web application.
In a consultation, we will show you the path to order- and part-based traceability.
Yes. The planned completion date of a production order can be integrated into Selfbits together with the order information. As part of ERP integration, it is determined which information is exchanged via an interface. By recording the start and end times of order processing, planned and actual production data can be compared.
In a consultation, we will show you how to achieve transparency in data collection.
Yes. The number of parts produced on the current day can be viewed in real time on the tablet and in the web application. Information about parts produced in the past can be accessed via the web application. The quantities produced per workstation/machine can be viewed for a specific period. Selfbits offers the option of subdividing into good and reject quantities, if these are recorded in production.
We would be pleased to arrange a meeting to demonstrate how Selfbits can assist you in maintaining an overview of important information.
Yes, with Selfbits you can map planned maintenance in your production. Planning can be carried out for individual machines or groups of machines.

In particular, you need comprehensive Wi-Fi coverage in production. Depending on the type of integration with third-party systems, such as ERP, but also other possible systems, such as existing printers, a local virtual machine is required for preprocessing and providing data (edge processing). During the project, a VPN connection to the relevant VM is also required in this case in order to configure the system.
We recommend using an MDM service for easy management of mobile devices. If you do not yet have an MDM service, we can help you select and operate one upon request.

The load on your bandwidth depends greatly on the desired recording frequency and accuracy of the data, as well as the number of measuring points. To date, there have been no bandwidth-related restrictions in any project. In borderline cases, local preprocessing (edge processing) can be used to reduce the amount of data to be transferred to the cloud.
During the introduction of Selfbits, there may be a short-term increase in workload for the IT department, e.g. due to necessary ERP integrations. During ongoing operations, there is generally no increased workload for the IT department. At the operational level, a key user is designated at the customer's site to provide first-level support. Upon request, Selfbits will provide second-level support as part of a support contract.
The IT department is only responsible for ensuring that printers, VMs, and networks are functioning properly as part of its regular duties. All other tasks are handled by Selfbits.
Yes. Selfbits offers support. Depending on your needs, various support packages are available, which we would be happy to present to you in a consultation.
Data transmission within the VPC and from the local network to the cloud is always encrypted using TLS/SSL. The applications themselves are protected by an IAM system, meaning that each employee must individually authenticate and authorize themselves when using the Selfbits solution. If desired, it is possible to link the system to your existing IAM systems (OpenID Connect, SAML, etc.). We would be happy to discuss further details about data security in the cloud with you in person.
Our standard operating model provides for hosting in the secure AWS cloud in Frankfurt am Main. If you absolutely require an on-premise license, please contact us.
Data is stored and processed centrally in the AWS Cloud in Frankfurt am Main. A separate VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is configured for each customer. Learn more about this in our data protection and data security white paper.
Backups are continuously created by Selfbits in the cloud to prevent data loss. Parallel storage in multiple availability zones makes data loss extremely unlikely.
