Shop floor management rarely fails because of the method, but because of the whiteboard
Digital shop floor management only pays off if the board is filled from real machine data. A digital whiteboard that is maintained by hand only changes the tool.
Yesterday's numbers
Boards transferred by hand are already outdated at the meeting.
Every plant different
Without a shared data model, KPIs are not comparable.
Stops estimated
Why the line stops is reconstructed in the meeting instead of measured.

Frequently asked questions
What is a shop floor management system or shop floor software?
Software that runs shop floor management digitally: KPIs, messages and shift log come automatically from machine and order data, instead of being maintained by hand on a whiteboard.
How do you digitize shop floor management?
In three steps: connect machines (with SYMESTIC via OPC UA or, for older machines, via the IoT Box on the digital signals, without PLC changes), feed KPIs automatically to boards and shop floor displays, add messages and a digital shift log. Start with one line and one meeting.
What is the difference from a digital whiteboard?
A digital whiteboard is maintained by hand. SYMESTIC fills the board automatically with live data from the machines.
Which KPIs does a digital shop floor board show?
OEE, part count against target, stops with reason, scrap and order progress, per line, shift and plant. You configure yourself which KPIs appear on your board.
What does a shop floor integration into our existing IT environment cost?
The platform runs in the cloud, so no MES server of your own is needed. The Cloud Gateway captures machine data via OPC UA, free software on an existing server or PC. For digital signals or without a server of your own, there is the IoT Box as a one-time hardware purchase. The standard configuration (platform and 5 machines) costs €850 per month with annual billing; onboarding and updates are included. You connect ERP and third-party systems via IDoc, REST API or file interface.
How quickly is digital shop floor management live?
First machine in under 3 hours, first board in days.
