Shop Floor Tracking Software for Manufacturers
Shop floor tracking software gives manufacturers real-time visibility into production activity, employee labor collection, work order status, machine utilization, downtime, WIP inventory, routing progress, and manufacturing performance. SimpleManufacturing™ provides integrated shop floor tracking software that connects production reporting directly to work orders, inventory, scheduling, traceability, quality management, and MRP planning.
SimpleManufacturing™ integrates shop floor tracking, labor collection, work order management, scheduling, inventory control, MRP, machine tracking, and manufacturing reporting into one unified ERP platform.
Real-Time Production Tracking
Monitor work orders, routing steps, labor activity, WIP inventory, scrap reporting, and production performance in real time.
Labor & Machine Visibility
Track employee labor hours, machine utilization, downtime, setup time, work center activity, and overall production efficiency.
What Is Shop Floor Tracking Software?
Shop floor tracking software helps manufacturers collect real-time production data directly from the manufacturing floor. Manufacturers use shop floor systems to track labor collection, work orders, routing activity, machine utilization, production quantities, downtime, scrap, scheduling performance, WIP inventory, and overall manufacturing efficiency.
Common Shop Floor Challenges
Many manufacturers struggle with limited visibility into production activity, inaccurate labor reporting, scheduling delays, downtime tracking, and manual data collection. Without integrated shop floor tracking software, production management often becomes reactive instead of proactive.
- Limited production visibility
- Manual labor tracking
- Scheduling delays
- Machine downtime issues
- Inaccurate production reporting
- Delayed work order updates
- Poor manufacturing visibility
- Limited efficiency tracking
- Limited WIP inventory visibility
- Manual production data collection
- Difficulty measuring work center efficiency
