MES - Shop Floor Data Capture

Live WIP without asking anyone. Operators get drawings and work-to lists at the machine; you get the real times back.

Stop walking the floor to find out where a job is.

Operators sign in at a terminal or tablet with a PIN, scan the job and clock on. They get a personalised work-to list for their work centre, ordered by priority, with current drawings, setting instructions, tooling details and inspection requirements on screen — always the latest revision, never the printout that's been on the wall since March.

What it captures

Clock in and out, clock on and off jobs, scan on operation, breaks, lost time against reason codes, and visitor in and out. Every record carries quantity completed, scrap and reject quantity, rework flag and operation-complete flag — so you get the numbers, not just the hours.

Time and attendance included

Total, effective, standard and overtime hours, absence recording, live current clockings, and a Fire List of everyone on site for evacuations. Feed hours straight into payroll.

Reporting

Overrun operations, overlapping parts, and per-employee efficiency reporting.

Configurable to how you actually work

Enforce operation order, multiple clock-on rules and other behaviours are set per company — the system fits your process rather than the other way round.

Designed for your industry

Manufacturing: two-way communication with the Scheduler, live drawing distribution, live WIP you can share with customers. Treatments: docketing through to despatch, full Nadcap traceability, reject and quality issue logging.

Works with what you've already got

Runs alongside your existing ERP or MRP, or integrated with Tricorn. Browser-based, on Windows, iOS and Android.

What it gives you

Live WIP without asking anyone. Quoted times against actuals, so you find the jobs that always overrun and quote better next time. Full traceability of who did what and when, ready for the auditor. And operators who have what they need at the machine instead of queuing at the office.
