ShopVue combines three
popular applications – Shop Floor Data Collection, Labor Management and
Graphical Dispatching—into a new category of software we call Shop Floor
EXecution (SFX). Some customers use ShopVue for its robust Time & Attendance
functionality. Others have integrated Time & Attendance with Labor collection to
provide detailed labor and time accounting. Sophisticated manufacturers with
forward-thinking management have implemented Shop Floor Execution, which
represents the total integration of all modules: Attendance & Labor with Order
Management and the Graphical Dispatcher to achieve complete visibility and
control over the manufacturing process. ShopVue is more than just data
collection; it is a powerful execution system that allows factory managers and
supervisors to operate more effectively, improve productivity and run the plant
more efficiently. It creates a robust, real time connection between orders,
machines, time and attendance. Using realtime shop labor and activity
data—collected via graphic touch screens, radio frequency transmitters, CE
Devices and the Internet, Planners and Supervisors can make informed decisions
about what jobs to run, where and when to schedule them and when to intervene to
avoid delays.
