Global Shop Solutions’ TrueView shopfloor data display platform shows job dispatch data on large, wall-mounted TV monitors in order to improve production times. Traditionally, manufacturers post paper dispatch reports on bulletin boards to tell machinists what they should be working on and which jobs are lined up in the queue. The TrueView platform enables operators to view the data on a TV monitor without leaving their work centers to track down the information. Users can customize the display messaging and color coding. The company says that the platform saves time, cuts down on paper and ensures that data is current, since the screen can be set to periodically refresh the data.
