Glossary PROXIA Software AG

In our increasingly digitalized manufacturing world, you will constantly come across new abbreviations, technical terms and technology designations. Our glossary brings together the most important key terms relating to Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Industry 4.0, lean production and related topics – presented in an easy-to-understand and practical way.

Here you will find definitions of terms such as BDE (production data acquisition), IoT (Internet of Things) or KPI (Key Performance Indicator), which will help you to better understand how modern manufacturing solutions work and how to use them in a targeted manner.

Each keyword has been carefully selected to enable you as a decision-maker, IT manager or production manager to quickly find your way around the complex technology environment.

Use the glossary to create a common understanding within the team when introducing new software modules or optimizing existing processes. Store the individual entries in your training documents, use them as a reference work in project management or integrate the definitions into your presentations. This will ensure that everyone involved is always on the same level of knowledge.

Our glossary is constantly being expanded and adapted to current developments. If you are missing a term or would like an addition, we look forward to your feedback – together we will take your company one step further towards the Smart Factory.
