As your manufacturing process evolves from estimating costs based on historical data to precise cost calculations using real-time data through a certified workstation, you may identify areas within your organization that also require digital transformation.

​

Two key questions can guide you in assessing the need for digital transformation:

​

Real-time Data: Is our data up-to-date, with information being directly input into Global Shop, or are we still relying on handwritten notes for later data entry?

​

 Inputting data directly into Global Shop software serves as the pathway to achieving efficiency, ensuring quality control, enhancing decision-making, and bolstering overall competitiveness. By doing this you are eliminating the labor cost of data being entered twice, or the cost of data never being entered.

​

Accuracy: Is the data we're entering rigorously validated and verified? Do our users have the appropriate tools to input data swiftly and accurately?

Entering data directly into Global Shop software enhances data accuracy. The software automatically verifies and validates the entered data, ensuring it aligns with the essential requirements. When you incorporate a tool like a barcode scanner, you gain the benefits of speed and accuracy through scanning instead of manual typing. When you combine this efficiency with real-time data verification and validation, you transition into a fully digitized operation.

​

Answering these questions will help pinpoint areas in your company where digital transformation can enhance efficiency and decision-making.

 

The Shop Floor Tablet represents a pivotal tool in facilitating digital transformation within your operation. When your workflow demands direct data input into Global Shop while necessitating mobility throughout the shop floor, rendering the traditional workstation impractical, the certified Shop Floor Tablet becomes the solution of choice.

 

The Shop Floor Tablet supports both SFDC and the full Global Shop experience, although it's advisable to conduct user testing for optimal usability, given its 10.4-inch screen size.

 

Consider the following scenario: Currently, your quality control (QC) personnel print documents and carry them to the shop floor for manual note-taking. Subsequently, they return to their computers to type this information into Global Shop. This process cries out for digitization as it involves a significant lag in data input, introduces error potential, and relies on deciphering handwritten notes for data entry into GSS software.

 

Moreover, the Shop Floor Tablet offers additional advantages over traditional paper-based methods:

​

Camera Functionality: The tablet integrates a camera, enabling users to capture and upload images seamlessly.

​

Zoom Capability: The tablet's screen supports zooming, facilitating enhanced visual communication, such as displaying images or documents to colleagues.

​

Barcode Scanner: To further boost efficiency and precision, the tablet incorporates a barcode scanner. This feature enables rapid and error-free data entry by scanning barcodes for work orders, employee badges, or inventory items.

This example underscores how the Shop Floor Tablet can revolutionize your operations, particularly when users require mobility and access to Global Shop throughout their tasks. It eliminates the inefficiencies and potential errors associated with manual data entry, offering a robust digital solution to enhance your shop floor processes.
