Real-Time Data Add real-time visibility to key data, eliminate paper, track processes, and make production process improvement decisions based on facts. Eliminate Paper Enjoy a bird’s-eye view of your manufacturing operations — with paperless technology from work orders to machine metrics and WIP status. Labor and Workforce Management Shop Activity & Labor With ShopVue’s Shop Activity / Labor Module, Operator transactions can be as simple as scanning a barcode to track direct and indirect activities. The highly configurable Operator Console interface is designed to keep the employee’s time at the terminal to an absolute minimum. For example, Operators can complete some interactions—such as incremental” reporting of another pallet complete—by simply pressing a button. ShopVue’s labor tracking software includes numerous validations to insure accurate data. Supervisors can track labor efficiencies and WIP status in real-time and continuous updates to your ERP system improve its planning and tracking functions. With Shop Activity / Labor, you can scan bar-coded Travelers, capture direct and indirect labor, track quantities as they complete each operation, record scrap against multiple reason codes, offer one GUI for Operators to record all important events, share information across the workforce, monitor labor efficiency, and continuously update WIP status in your ERP and APS systems. Time & Attendance Simplify employee Time and Attendance by consolidating with ShopVue’s shop floor data collection and production control system to help monitor activity, manage labor costs, and improve workforce efficiency. Record attendance from badge scans, automatically calculate attendance intervals, schedule employee to shifts, work center assignments, and days off. Perform calculations based on your company’s policies, including punch adjustments, lunch/ break extraction, overtime, and shift differential. Automatically adjust punch handling to conform to your company’s policy. Manage by exception; edit and approve transactions online in just minutes. View an entire week’s attendance activity and automatically approve all punches that conform to expected behaviors. The system assigns exceptions” to unusual behaviors (e.g., overtime, missed breaks, and unscheduled absences) and flags them for review. Integrate seamlessly with leading payroll and HRIS systems. Production Paperless Factory Dispatch Electronically communicate work assignments and display the information most critical to the task at hand. Operators can see a sequenced list of Orders, Lots, or Serials to work on. To start a run, the Operator simply selects the next assignment from the screen and presses a button. When the Operator completes the operation, ShopVue automatically dispatches the Order to the next step in routing. All the related documents that you’d normally find in a Traveler Packet” are available on the Console screen. Operators always have the most current information—setup instructions, part drawings, videos, or other digital content—at their fingertips. Key aspects of Quality Management are included within the module, including Inspection Plans, Material Review Board (MRB), and Call / Response. Paperless Factory Dispatch helps to improve schedule adherence, increase quality metrics, quickly disposition non-conformances , create and processing rework, decrease customer lead time, strengthen communications within the factory, minimize paper and spreadsheets, and eliminate keypunching. Direct Machine Interface Despite the time and effort required to manually collect factory machine data, results are often questionable. Consider a sudden machine breakdown. The operator’s first priority is to fix the problem, not immediately log the event. Yet a policy of recording the downtime later on a clipboard” is imperfect: employees can forget exact details, take guesses, or manipulate facts to hide process problems. Similarly, capturing yield and scrap data can be challenging even for a well-trained, conscientious employee. There may be too many parts to count. Employees may mix up quantities they produced with parts other employees or another shift produced. Even reading counters and doing the math is not error-proof. ShopVue’s Direct Machine Interface (DMI) directly addresses these problems by capturing the data automatically through an electronic interface to the machine’s controls. OLE Process Control (OPC) technology exposes key data in your PLCs without costly programming. At frequent intervals, ShopVue polls the machines, storing key data in a machine journal. The DMI engine then processes the journal and updates related aspects of the program such as status, yield, and quality Critical machine metrics like OEE, Utilization, and Machine Efficiency become a standard by which you can manage and measure the factory. Production Traceability ShopVue can support tracking production lots or serial numbers through the manufacturing process. When product liability, public safety, and the recall ability are concerns, ShopVue enables manufacturers to maintain accurate traceability and complete product genealogy. With ShopVue Production Traceability, you can: split orders into uniquely identified Packaging Lots (such as batches, rolls, or containers) at any point along the route. Additionally, you can birth Serial numbers at any point during the production process, ensure each...
