Case Study: Melitta boosts production efficiency and visibility with MPDV's HYDRA

Melitta - Customer Case Study

Melitta Europa GmbH & Co. KG, a long-established producer of coffee filter bags and related products, needed to maintain high quality, competitiveness and environmental performance while increasing productivity and shop‑floor cooperation. To address these challenges Melitta selected the HYDRA MES from MPDV to integrate production planning, machine data and shop‑floor operations with their SAP system.

MPDV implemented HYDRA modules for Shop Floor Data, Machine Data, Tool & Resource Management, Shop Floor Scheduling and Energy Management, with 29 shop‑floor clients, 8 office clients and more than 30 machines connected. HYDRA provides automatic quantity capture, real‑time shop‑floor monitoring, standardized malfunction reason coding, a maintenance calendar tied to cycle counts and energy consumption tracking. The result: improved visibility and operator cooperation, higher machine availability, dramatically reduced maintenance costs and a gradual reduction in energy use, with production data flowing back to SAP for downstream processing.
