How the solution works

Using barcode scanners, your operations team can help capture data about the real-time location of jobs in production, which will then be presented on a dashboard, so that all jobs in the production line can be found instantly. This starter solution sets up two checkpoints on your shop floor to help your business trial job tracking.

How to set up the solution

Job location tracking is simple to set up and use. Here’s how:

Set up two scanners located in two different locations
Data from each scanner transmits to an easy-to-read live dashboard
The dashboard shows where each job was last seen and how long it has been in this location
