Live Section display 

Screen Purpose

This screen provides a real-time view of production status within each department. It displays the planned target versus actual production, along with work-in-progress (WIP) quantities. This helps management and supervisors monitor production progress and evaluate performance instantly.

Benefits for Supervisors

• View the production target for each style based on production orders.

• Monitor completed pieces and pieces currently in progress.

• Quickly identify issues related to operators or machines using color-coded efficiency indicators.

• Make faster decisions, such as reallocating operators or intervening in delayed operations.

• Track a clear progress indicator showing how closely the department is following the production plan.

Department Summary Information

Target

The number of pieces planned to be produced within the department according to production orders. The target is calculated using AI-based planning.

Produced

The number of pieces that have completed all required operations and have been officially recorded as finished production.

Work In Progress (WIP)

The number of pieces currently being processed within the department and not yet completed.

Progress Indicator

A percentage showing the department's achievement against the production plan (Produced ÷ Target).

Employee Skill Level Display

💡 Employee Skill Level

The employee's Skill Level will be displayed directly on the Employee Card within the Shop Floor Display, allowing supervisors to instantly identify the operator's capability without opening any additional screens.

🎯 Benefits

• Easier assignment of operators to suitable operations.

• Faster decision-making during production.

• Better matching between operator skills and machine requirements.

• Reuse of existing skill classification data already maintained within the system.

⚙️ How It Works

• The skill level is displayed beside the employee's name.

• The classification can be A, B, C, or any factory-defined skill level.

• The value is automatically retrieved from employee records.

• If no skill level is available, the system displays N/A.

• Any updates to the employee classification are automatically reflected on the display.

✅ Important Notes

• Skill levels cannot be edited from the Shop Floor Display.

• The new indicator does not affect the existing card layout or information.

• Skill levels remain visible under all card conditions, including warning and low-efficiency states.
  
  

Style Card (Dark Teal Card)

The first card represents a production style and includes:

• Style Name

• Style Code

• Total Target Quantity (across all production orders for the style) – calculated using AI

• Total Produced Quantity (completed pieces that passed all required operations)

---

Machine Cards

A separate card is displayed for every machine currently working on the style.

Each machine card contains:

• Machine Number

• Assigned Operator Name

• Assigned Operation Name

• Operation Target

• Produced Quantity

• Work In Progress (WIP)

• Operator Efficiency Percentage (based on planned operation time)

• Maintenance Duration (if a maintenance request is active)

• Downtime Duration (if the operator has requested a stop)

Machine Card Colors (Efficiency Indicators)

Factory management can configure these thresholds from system settings.

🔴 Red
Efficiency below 65%.

🟡 Yellow
Efficiency between 65% and 85%.

🟢 Green
Efficiency above 85%.

Special Cases

Gray Card

Indicates that the operator assigned to the machine has not yet recorded any production.

No Target or Produced Quantity Displayed

This means that:

• The operator has logged into the machine but has not recorded production yet, or

• The operation is optional and therefore has no target or production records.

Target = 0

This indicates that:

• No target has been assigned to the operation, or

• The required quantity for that operation is actually zero.

General Concepts

When Does a Style Appear on the Screen?

A style is displayed only if:

• At least one machine in the department is currently working on it.

• Production activity has been recorded for that style during the current day.

A style will not appear if no machines are currently operating on it, even if it has a target or previous production records.

When Does a Machine Appear on the Screen?

A machine appears only when:

• It is active and registered in the system.

• An operator is logged into the machine.

• The machine is assigned to a style that has production activity or a target for the current day.

Each machine is linked to its latest production order. Based on this order, the system determines the current style and displays only the relevant operations and production data.

Display Order

Style Order

Styles are displayed according to production start priority within the department.

Styles that started production earlier appear first.

Machine Order Within a Style

Machines are displayed according to:

1. Operation group sequence within the production flow.

2. Operation sequence within the same group.

The goal is to reflect the natural production flow from the first operation to the last.

Real-Time Machine Updates

Each machine has a dedicated communication channel that sends updates directly to the screen.

The display updates whenever:

• An operator logs in or logs out.

• Production is recorded or deleted.

• An operator requests a stop or resumes work.

• A maintenance request is opened or completed.

• Production orders or operations are assigned or removed.

All updates are instantly reflected on the display to ensure real-time visibility.

Daily Target and WIP Calculation per Machine

The calculation is based on operation data defined by the Industrial Engineering team.

A machine may work on multiple production orders within the same style.

The system:

1. Reviews the target quantity for each operation.

2. Selects the highest target quantity from each production order.

3. Sums these values across all orders.

4. Displays the total target for the machine.

For WIP quantities:

1. The system selects the highest WIP quantity from each order.

2. Sums the values across all orders.

3. Displays the total WIP quantity for the machine.

Detailed Daily Target Calculation

Whether the target is generated by AI or manually defined by management, the system calculates targets fairly using the following process:

1. Start with the total target quantity for the operation.

2. Identify all operators logged into machines performing that operation.

3. Identify operators who have recorded production at least once.

4. Distribute the target equally among all active operators who have recorded production.

Result

Each machine receives a realistic and fair target allocation.

Target Redistribution

If three operators are assigned to the same operation and all have recorded production at least once, then:

• One operator logs out, or

• The operation assigned to a machine changes,

The system automatically:

1. Recalculates the remaining target.

2. Redistributes the remaining target equally among the remaining active operators working on the same operation.

This ensures targets remain balanced and accurate throughout the production day.
