MES - Shop Floor Data Capture

Fitfactory’s Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) module transforms your shop floor with real-time communication, control, and visibility. Designed as an intuitive extension to your production system, SFDC empowers operatives with up-to-date drawings, setting instructions, tooling notes, inspection requirements, and personalised work-to lists that prioritise urgent jobs.

Operators can clock on and off tasks with full traceability—recording who did what, when, and for how long. This creates live work-in-progress (WIP) tracking, allowing managers to monitor job status in real time, automatically update priorities, and keep customers informed without needing to leave the office.

SFDC is built for seamless integration with Fitfactory’s other modules—Scheduler, Machine Monitoring, Insights dashboards—and any ERP or MRP system via open API to ensure a connected digital ecosystem. It’s particularly effective for sectors such as precision engineering, fabrication, and treatments workflows, enabling features like full Nadcap traceability, reject logging, and quality issue tracking.

By replacing paper-based systems with digital terminals or mobile devices, SFDC eliminates errors, improves communication flow, and accelerates data capture. The system reduces administration burden, prevents outdated instructions, and supports a paperless, more efficient shop floor.

As part of Fitfactory’s comprehensive MES suite, SFDC enables you to monitor, control, and optimise manufacturing production—boosting responsiveness, traceability, and operational efficiency.
