The floor knows the truth. SyteLine should hear about it during the shift.
Capture the work. Validate it. Post it.
Shop-Trak records labor, quantities and scrap at the operation, checks each entry against the work center's rules, and posts it to Infor SyteLine as the work happens. It runs at a touch-screen station or in a browser on a phone or tablet with Shop-Trak Mobile. It is where most Lake MES Platform customers start.
What changes on the floor
Six versions of the same problem, and what each one looks like with Shop-Trak
Jobs go quiet
A job falls behind on Tuesday. The first person to notice is the customer, calling on Friday.
A quiet job shows up the same shift
Every clock-in, quantity and scrap entry lands on the job as it happens, so supervisors manage by exception during the shift.
Labor gets written twice
Time, counts and scrap go on a traveler, then someone keys them in days later, if at all.
Recorded once, at the station
Operators sign on under their own name and report at the operation. Setup and run are recorded separately, and nothing is keyed after the shift.
Instructions by memory
Operators ask around for the setup notes, or build to whatever print is in the binder under the bench.
The approved instruction opens with the job
With Doc-Trak on the platform, the drawing and work instruction in force open at the station with the job.
Work runs out of sequence
The priority changed and the printout did not. The easy job runs first and the hot one slips.
The live queue is on the wall
Visual Dispatch puts the current queue on shop-floor screens and on Shop-Trak Mobile, so operators run the priority job without asking.
Schedulers plan blind
The schedule is built on yesterday's status and a round of phone calls, then rebuilt by noon.
Planners see progress as it happens
Job status in SyteLine reflects the floor this shift, so the plan is built from what actually ran.
Job cost you cannot trust
Labor lands late or in batches, so job cost is wrong all week and cleaned up at close.
Labor cost is current while the job is open
Automatic background posting puts labor into SyteLine WIP, payroll and job cost the day the work happens.
"We quoted 30% margin and delivered 28. Where did the two points go?"
The question every controller asks. Shop-Trak is how the answer starts on the floor instead of at close.Features
