Time Recording

Each employee is provided a bar coded employee card and every work order has a bar coded route card.

These bar codes are read by the shop floor data capture terminals (that utilize a standard on-line P.C. together with a touch screen monitor and bar code scanner) to ensure information can be quickly and easily captured. No keyboard or mouse use is required.

From an enterprise perspective, the major benefits of a real-time shop floor data capture system are:

  • Up to the minute visibility on the progress of any Job and its comparison to the schedule
  • Interrogate what operations are currently being worked on
  • Exception reporting of any operations that are falling behind schedule
  • View the job costing time value being accumulated against a job compared to the quotation - operation by operation.
  • See what employees are on-site and what jobs they are currently engaged on
