How to Use Paperless Shop Floor Tracking

 

The Paperless Shop Floor Tracking programs are designed to eliminate printed Shop Travelers, Pick Lists, potentially outdated engineering drawings and test requirements, and labor tickets or time sheets.  There are two versions of the paperless shop floor program.

Using HH-I Paperless Shop Floor Tracking, each user station on the shop floor has a computer workstation which can be used to link to all this information based on the Work Order Number which would be bar coded to a label or sticker applied to the pallet or box or whatever container is used to transport the parts from station to station.  Lot and Serial controlled components and assemblies are supported but at this time, only Average and Standard Costing methods are supported for material issues and Finished Production reporting.  FIFO and LIFO costing are not supported.

Using HH-L Multi-user Paperless Shop Floor does not require a computer workstation at each shop floor work location.  When the program is loaded, the workstation can be assigned to a work order and optionally a sequence.  Once assigned, any user can view documents such as drawings linked to the work order and/or sequence.  Clicking the Data Collection buttons allows multiple workers to clock in or out of labor and transfer labels can be printed to move parts to the next sequence.

Setting up Paperless Shop Floor Tracking

The Paperless Shop Floor system uses the standard Work Centers and Routings already assigned to parts and consequently Work Orders, so no special setup is required.  You can use Evo Links to link drawings and other engineering documents to parts or a work order so that they are accessible from the Links button on the screen.  If you have specific testing requirements and minimum results required for acceptance, you can enter the testing method at RO-M Enter Testing Method and the required results linked to a given Item's Routing Sequence where the testing is to be performed at RO-N Enter Test Requirements
