Electronic Planning Board
Our customer has traditionally planned jobs on their CNC machines using magnetic labels on a whiteboard beside each machine. We have developed a visual web-based planning board that can now be accessed by planners on their PC's and machine operators on their tablets. The planning board is integrated with the customer's Ostendo ERP software, providing real time updates as the operator uploads data from their shift. Previously the planner had to walk the entire shop floor to know where jobs were at on each machine. The electronic planning board allows them to switch between machines on a browser and see the status of jobs on each machine. The machine operators can see the progress of a job, including work completed on previous shifts, and they can see upcoming jobs so they can plan ahead.
