Monitoring work processes in production

A manufacturing company from South Bohemia approached us with a request to check how correctly they have priced the workwork on their individual workshops and also wanted to know the workload of individual workers. So we created a solution for them to monitor their work processes in detail.

Now, every job coming into the company is first plotted with a description of the individual activities. The worker reads the barcode of the order on the kiosk, after working and finishing it, he/she "unpicks" it again and according to the documents passes it on to the next department.

The collected data such as "job xyz, welding shop, Novák, start 7:00, end 10:30" can then be aggregated in the database by shop, worker or job with a link to the price of the job. The result is therefore a clear verification of how correctly the price for the work is set, how busy each workshop is, what work I can add or remove.

For the project we used Zebra MK500 laser kiosks connected via PoE to Ethernet and Terminal Architect software.
