Shop floor & inventory

Shop floor dashboards for metal fabricators

A shop-floor dashboard is a large display of what is being worked on, by whom, and how far along it is. Spectr’s shop-floor dashboards and live activity feeds are meant to keep the floor aligned without status meetings.

Key facts

A dashboard fed by last night’s spreadsheet is a poster.
People will ignore a screen that does not match what they can see with their eyes.
Progress has to come from scans and completions, not from a PM’s hope.
The office should see the same activity the floor sees.

How shops handle this

Hang screens where work happens
Saw, brake, crate line — not only the front office.
Show today’s priority
Phase dates and promised trucks, not a 200-row dump.
Require a scan to change the story
Otherwise the dashboard becomes decoration.
Kill the standup that only recites the screen
Keep the meeting for blockers the system cannot see.

Common questions

Will people feel watched?

They already are — badly. A fair board beats a surprise Friday interrogation.

What if we have two buildings?

Same system, two location filters. Do not run two truths.
