Hidden Bottlenecks
WIP piles up at a specific work center, but management only realizes it days later when downstream assembly lines run out of parts.
Operational visibility
Production & Capacity Dashboards
Help teams understand workload, schedules and exceptions.
Display jobs, work centres, capacity, due dates, quality holds, shipments and approved indicators on real-time visual dashboards.
- Job and schedule status
- Capacity visibility
- Exceptions and reporting
Blind spots cause missed deadlines.
When production managers have to physically walk the floor or query an outdated ERP screen just to see if a critical job is on schedule, operational agility is zero. Problems are discovered too late to fix.
Unreliable Scheduling
Trying to schedule new rush jobs is a guessing game because there's no real-time view of current machine capacity and actual vs. estimated run times.
Silent Failures
A machine goes down or a job is put on quality hold, but the right people aren't alerted immediately, causing hours of preventable downtime.
The deliverables
Real-time production visibility.
We build factory-floor ready dashboards that provide instant visibility into production capacity, job status, and operational bottlenecks.
Active Job Dashboards
Clear, color-coded visual boards showing every active job, its current work center, completion percentage, and estimated finish time.
Capacity & Scheduling Views
Gantt-style or heatmap views of machine and operator utilization, making it easy to spot open capacity or overloaded work centers.
Exception & Hold Monitoring
Automated visual alerts for jobs that fall behind schedule, fail inspection, or are paused due to material shortages.
Factory Floor Andon Screens
High-contrast, highly legible interfaces designed specifically to run on large overhead TVs across the shop floor to keep everyone aligned.
Featured Implementation
Eliminating the morning status meeting.
See how moving from whiteboards to real-time digital dashboards increased on-time delivery by 25% for a machine shop.
Production DashboardReact + ERP API
CNC Machining Facility
Seeing the floor clearly.
A busy CNC facility relied on daily printouts and a giant whiteboard to track hundreds of active jobs, leading to constant confusion and expediting.
ChallengeSupervisors spent the first two hours of every day just figuring out where jobs were and updating the whiteboard.
BuildWe built a custom web dashboard that pulls live routing data from their ERP. Operators use cheap tablets at each machine to clock in/out of jobs, instantly updating large TV screens across the shop.
ImpactSupervisors got 2 hours of their day back, bottlenecks were identified instantly, and on-time delivery improved from 70% to 95%.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Production Dashboards.
Answers covering data sources, hardware, and integration.
Where does the dashboard get its data?
Typically, we integrate with your existing ERP or MRP system via APIs. If you don't have one, we can build lightweight operator interfaces (like tablet apps) to capture the data directly on the floor.
Can these run on standard Smart TVs?
Yes. They are web applications designed to run smoothly in the browser of a standard Smart TV, Raspberry Pi, or any connected display device.
Do they update in real-time?
Yes. We use WebSockets or frequent polling to ensure that when a job status changes at a machine, the overhead boards update instantly without needing a page refresh.
Can we customize what metrics are shown?
Absolutely. Different departments care about different things. We can build specific views for the plant manager (overall utilization), quality control (scrap rates), and the shipping dock (due today).
