Predictable Throughput, Smarter Scheduling, and Live Machine Intelligence for Modern Manufacturers
Seradex Shop Floor Control transforms your production environment into a connected, data-driven operation. With real-time job tracking, low-cost IoT machine monitoring, intelligent scheduling, and barcode/RFID traceability — you gain instant visibility into performance, prevent cascading delays, and turn your shop floor into a high-efficiency engine built for growth.
Why customers switch to our Shop Floor system
Manufacturers choose our Shop Floor solution because it does more than show status — it prevents delays. With real-time machine telemetry, embedded scheduling logic and automated part tracking (barcode & RFID), you can detect performance drops the moment they start, regroup work for efficiency, and keep promises to customers.
Key outcomes
- Reduce late jobs and rush-orders by surfacing deviation alerts in real time
- Increase effective throughput by optimizing similar jobs into consecutive runs
- Cut time spent searching for parts with RFID/barcode traceability
- Improve quoting accuracy by comparing planned vs actual production rates
Core Features
Seradex Shop Floor Control combines real-time job visibility, intelligent scheduling, machine telemetry, and automated part tracking into one unified system. Every feature is designed to reduce delays, optimize throughput, and give your team immediate, data-driven control over daily production performance.
Real-time job board & KPI dashboards
A live job board shows every work order, status (queued, running, blocked, complete), priority and ETA. Dashboards update in seconds so planners and supervisors know exactly where bottlenecks form.
Tight scheduling integration
Our scheduling engine connects directly to the job board and job quotes so schedules are not static — they’re adaptive. If a machine slows or a new rush order arrives, the schedule recalculates and issues actionable recommendations.
Low-cost IoT machine monitoring
Plug in simple, low-cost sensors to capture cycle time, uptime, rejects and actual pieces produced. Sensor data continuously compares actual cycle time to the quoted cycle time so deviations trigger automated alerts.
Example: Quote: 1 piece / min. Actual: 1.3 min → system flags a predicted delay and shows downstream schedule impact.
Grouping & batching optimizer
Group and batch jobs by shared attributes — raw material, color, tooling, destination, or shipping window — to minimize setup time and reduce changeovers. The optimizer suggests smart runs and shows the net time saved.
Barcode & RFID part tracking
Automated barcode scanning and RFID let you track parts through every production stage, reducing lost items and enabling accurate WIP counts for shipping and billing.
Operator & machine productivity metrics
Track operator performance, machine efficiency (OEE), and first-pass yields. Use these metrics to identify training opportunities and maintenance needs.
Alerts, escalation & mobile notifications
Receive alerts via mobile, tablet or shop monitors for exceptions: machine slowdown, missing materials, blocked downstream operations, or critical quality failures.
Open integrations & APIs
Connect to ERP, MES, CMMS and output data to BI tools. Our REST APIs and prebuilt connectors make integration fast and reliable.
How it prevents cascading delays?
- IoT sensor detects a 30% slowdown.
- System projects the delay’s effect across dependent jobs.
- Scheduler recommends reassigning or batching other jobs to absorb the delay.
- Supervisor receives an alert with prescriptive actions (e.g., move Job A to Line 2, batch Jobs B–D).
- Result: fewer expedited shipments, improved on-time delivery.
Technical & implementation highlights
- Deployment: Cloud, on-prem or hybrid.
- Data ingestion: MQTT / HTTP connectors for sensors; OPC-UA where required.
- Edge capable: Local queuing ensures shop operation continues even if cloud link drops.
- Security: TLS for telemetry, role-based access control, audit logs.
- Scale: Supports single line shops up to multi-plant rollouts with centralized scheduling.
- Hardware: Works with low-cost sensors and off-the-shelf barcode/RFID readers — minimal disruption.
