Overview

What is Shop Floor Management Software?

Shop Floor Management Software is a centralized system that helps manufacturers manage and monitor day-to-day production activities across the shop floor. It helps teams coordinate work orders, operators, machines, materials, production processes, quality checks, downtime, and production output through structured digital workflows.

Manage Shop Floor Activities Efficiently

Create and manage work orders, production tasks, workstations, operators, machines, production steps, and shop floor activities in one centralized system.

Simplify Production Coordination

Organize work assignments, production schedules, material requirements, machine usage, operator activities, and manufacturing instructions through connected workflows.

Track Production & Quality

Monitor production progress, output, machine status, downtime, quality checks, rejected units, and other shop floor activities through centralized workflows.

How Shop Floor Management Software Works

Manage shop floor operations through a structured, connected workflow.

STEP01

Create Production & Work Records

Create work orders and maintain information such as product details, production quantities, manufacturing instructions, workstations, machines, required materials, operators, and planned production activities.

STEP02

Assign & Execute Shop Floor Work

Assign work orders and production tasks to operators and workstations, track material usage, record machine activities, capture production data, and monitor work progress as manufacturing activities take place.

STEP03

Monitor Quality & Production Completion

Record quality checks, production output, rejected quantities, downtime, process observations, and completed work while maintaining a complete shop floor activity history.

Use Cases for Shop Floor Management Software
