Shop Floor Organization

One of the best things you can do to save manufacturing admin time is barcodes.

Here’s why: Most shops report their employee time with handwritten timesheets. Workers fill in a sheet for their week and hand it to their supervisors. Have you considered replacing that step with scanning barcodes instead?

You save the minutes and hours that accumulate in filling them out, and you save the human error that results from attempts to remember work performed. You also save transcription mistakes when reentering the hours into other software. Just scan and go!

Barcodes are the best!

Manufacturing Resources

Manufacturers!  Start the New Year using barcodes. Exactly how, you ask?

By scanning them to track time and materials.

Turns out, employees can scan work orders to start a timer. When they stop that timer, you have collected the hours worked and status for that job. All with just a few scans. No computer. No software. No sitting in front of a terminal with dirty hands. Just scan and go!

Track Employee Time

Shop floors can get messy but that is because work is being done. In the end, you still need to track work orders and employee time , even in a hostile environment. Consider barcodes, or even RFID for time tracking in such places.

RFID is completely solid-state, and immune to dust and chemicals. just swipe and go. Nothing bothers RFID… not dust, dirt, grease and grime, grinding dust, or oils. It’s really the best choice for hostile shop floors.

Here’s a little video to inspire and remind you to try Standard Time® with RFID or barcodes.

Scanning Steel Plates From Inventory

Do you love the smell of steel? I love the smell of steel. And the numerous lubricants on the shop floor. And the smell of side-grinders, flux-core welders, and mig, and tig.

We hope you love Standard Time® barcoding software almost as much.  🙂
