Role-Based Roadmap

Benefits

In manufacturing, there’s so much happening on the shop floor at any given point that it’s almost humanly impossible to keep up with every detail. Supervisors are too bogged down trying to navigate insufficient or out-of-date information to work as closely as they need to with associates in order to increase production, improve quality, and lower costs. That’s where Beacon-Trak™ comes in.

  • Arrange the 3” x 3” Bluetooth-enabled beacons around your shop floor, and leverage the accompanying tablet computer to put instant, dynamic information in the hands of shop floor supervisors.
  • Equip supervisors to better manage their work, quality, staff, and equipment. 
  • Benefit from real-time data on all of your work centers without having to search – supervisors can see at a glance who is working, what their jobs are, what machines are being used, what the productivity and job status is, and more.
  • Gain critical insight into individual, departmental, and work center performance with seven-day running charts.
  • Use Quick Links to instantly access job details, analytics to observe trends, quality information, reject rates, efficiency details, and more.
  • Take a virtual walk around the shop floor by selecting the beacons from a map of your work areas.
  • Manage conference room meeting discussions by knowing what is happening in real-time.
  • Put the dashboard into roaming mode and walk the shop floor, or shut it off and see everything.
  • Leverage one set of beacons to assist multiple roles: quality, setup, human resources, cost accounting, machine maintenance, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), executive management, planning/scheduling, customer service, inventory management.
