Shopfloor Terminal

What are Shopfloor Terminals?

Shopfloor Terminals are interactive devices or stations located on the production floor that enable employees to interact directly with the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and other production management systems. These terminals provide real-time access to production data, work instructions, and quality control parameters, and they can also be used for data collection such as working hours, machine status, and malfunctions.

Benefits of Shopfloor Terminals

1. Real-time Data Access: Employees can instantly access crucial production data, accelerating decision-making and improving efficiency.
2. Enhanced Communication: Shopfloor Terminals facilitate efficient communication directly on the shop floor, improving collaboration and information exchange.
3. Data Transparency: By collecting and providing real-time data, they ensure high transparency of production processes.
4. Process Optimization: The use of real-time information and direct data collection supports continuous improvement of production processes.

Functions of Shopfloor Terminals

1. Interaction with MES: Shopfloor Terminals allow direct connection with the Manufacturing Execution System, making work instructions and production data immediately available.
2. Data Collection: Capturing working hours, machine status, and malfunctions directly at the terminal.
3. Quality Control: Accessing quality control parameters and directly inputting quality data.
4. Production Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of production processes and machine statuses.
