In a nutshell, Shop Floor Insight is an application that enables you to automate the time collection process in manufacturing environments. The built-in Production Scheduler makes viewing and managing schedules simple, with daily, weekly, and annual schedules able to be viewed easily.
Add to that a graphical interface that displays all work currently scheduled, making it easy to identify conflicts, and a highly interactive production view, and you have the making of a production tool that does far more than create schedules. Shop Floor Insight bolsters a number of functionality protocols here, including:
- Hovering over any element in the Scheduler to display details

- Accessing the Bill of Materials and Associated Information displayed data.
