OmegaCube ERP’s Shop Floor Management enables manufacturers to automate shop floor operations, monitor real-time operation, improve machine & labor utilization, improve yield quality and achieve greater shop floor efficiency.
Key Benefits of Shop Floor Management
- Increase efficiency of personnel by relaying production data directly to their hand-held devices & machine consoles.
- Improve mobility by letting personnel to access & record shop floor data with the help of third-party applications & hand-held devices.
- Improve proactive response to breakdowns by monitoring job allocation, machine utilization & performance.
- Improve product quality and compliance standards at each production phase
- Reduce machine and labor idle time and improve utilization
- Improve overall shop floor efficiency, achieve just in time manufacturing by integrating third party applications.
Key Features of Shop Floor Management
