FAQ
What is the Shop Floor Control module in DynamicsPrint®?
The Shop Floor Control module is a real-time, digital interface for production execution. It gives operators, planners, and managers complete visibility and control over ongoing jobs, materials, machines, and production workflows — from any device.
How does it improve production visibility?
Operators can access job tickets, digital work instructions, job plans, and time/material consumption in real time. Every action on the floor is reflected instantly across the ERP, enabling data-driven decisions across the company.
Can operators record job progress and material usage directly?
Yes. Operators can start/stop jobs, register time, and input material usage through an intuitive digital interface. These actions are automatically posted to the cost accounting system, supporting accurate WIP tracking and budget vs. actual analysis.
Is the interface configurable by user role?
Absolutely. The system supports user-based views and permissions. You can customize visible columns, resource filters, and workflows based on role, ensuring relevant information is shown to each operator, supervisor, or planner.
How does Shop Floor Control support multiple job management?
Operators can register time for multiple jobs simultaneously, which is ideal for departments where machines or resources handle parallel tasks. The system splits and attributes time intelligently, ensuring precise job costing.
Does it support digital and paperless operations?
Yes. Job tickets, setup instructions, images, and communications are all available digitally in one interface, enabling fully paperless production. This not only reduces waste but also improves communication and compliance.
How does Shop Floor Control help improve efficiency?
With live updates on job statuses, bottlenecks, and task completion, planners can proactively intervene. Customer service and supply chain teams also benefit from accurate timelines and production forecasts.
Is it integrated with other modules?
Yes. Shop Floor Control is tightly connected with Scheduling, Inventory, Estimation, and Analytics. Actions from the shop floor automatically update job timelines, material levels, and cost records in real-time.
Can it handle JDF/JMF integration for machine data?
Yes. The module integrates with JDF/JMF-compliant systems, allowing automatic status updates, press feedback, and material tracking from machines like Heidelberg, Kodak Prinergy, Esko, and Agfa.
What measurable benefits can I expect?
Enterprises using Shop Floor Control report higher machine utilization, fewer delays, and enhanced cost control. It enables a more agile, transparent, and accountable production environment that scales with your operations.
