Smart Shop Floor simply connects to your existing business systems such as ERP, PDM, Inventory, CRM or operational systems to automate data flow and replicate your production floor on a digital web-based portal. You simply configure your machines, operator rosters and skill set to allow for an accurate schedule that you can rely on. Based on the configuration and estimated times for jobs we will then schedule and provide you with real time visibility of job progress through our operator interface which is an easy to use and functional tablet or web-based application that provides operators with all the information they need to start and complete work on the shop floor whilst also providing real time updates to sales, management and office staff.
Smart Shop Floor captures data through various sensors, variance analysis and the operator interface to provide management with the details and reasons for everything that happens on the production floor so they can make informed decisions.
