Shop floor

Shop floor shows where every open order is right now. There is one column per work center, one lane per machine center or assembly bay, and a card for each order at its current operation.

A work center without machine centers shows a single lane named after the work center.

In the demo, the columns are:

  • Fabrication & welding (Weld bay 1, Weld bay 2)
  • Machining (boring mill, 5-axis, vertical lathe)
  • Paint & finish
  • Mechanical assembly (bays A, B, C)
  • Electrical & controls
  • Pneumatics
  • Test & FAT
  • Crating & shipping

What a card shows​

  • Order number and priority.
  • Item and quantity.
  • The current operation, for example Op 50 · Electrical & controls, 5/8.
  • Its status: Ready, Running 9d · ends …, Paused · reason, or Waiting on op ….
  • The due date, in red when planned late.
  • Badges for Material short, QC hold and Rework.

Open the order details​

Click a card to open the order details. Operators can:

  • Start operation
  • Pause (with a reason)
  • Resume
  • Report output / finish

Output on the last operation asks for item tracking (serial numbers for the machines in the demo).

People with a work-center filter can act only in their own columns.
