From the work order to the feedback – fully digital throughout

Preparing the job and the workstation

Call up the order, identify the materials by scanning them and check the current work instructions: the team receives the information they need directly at their workstation and can get started on the task straight away.

Carry out and document the steps involved

Up-to-date instructions, guidelines and order details support the work directly on the shop floor. Barcode scans or RFID track every step – so the team always knows what to do next.

Complete and hand over the order

Confirm the processing status, document any outstanding issues and hand over the order. The next shift or the next department receives traceable digital information for further processing.

A connected shop floor makes day-to-day work easier

The shop floor is the area of a company where production takes place. This is where orders are processed, machines are operated, components are assembled and finished products are inspected. To do this, staff need to know what to do, what guidelines apply and who to contact if they have any questions.
A digital shop floor links these activities with the necessary information and applications. Work instructions are available directly at the point of use; feedback can be easily assigned to the correct order; and faults can be reported in a targeted manner. The key lies in the interplay between user-friendly devices, suitable software and integration with existing production systems.

Everything at a glance

How to use work instructions easily

Large, easy-to-read displays on industrial PCs make it easier to access work steps, settings and specifications. Devices designed for use in manufacturing allow touch operation even when wearing gloves and are protected against dust, liquids and impacts.

Quickly recorded

Feedback directly on the order

A barcode scan uniquely assigns components and work steps to the order. Quantities, processing statuses and inspection results can be recorded directly on site. Customised input forms and automatic checks simplify operation and reduce the need for manual rework.

Directly connected

Reach the team directly

With the right communication apps on mobile computers and industrial PCs, staff can contact their team, shift supervisors or maintenance staff directly on site – for example, via push-to-talk or text message. This makes it easier to coordinate quickly and saves on travel.

Well looked after

Manage devices centrally

Whether it’s Windows, Linux or Android: centralised endpoint management brings together the administration of your devices – from scanners to mobile computers and industrial PCs, right through to smart glasses. Applications, settings and updates can be managed centrally, whilst remote access provides direct support on the device itself in the event of queries or faults.
