BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control – Production software

BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control production software – a real-time solution for manufacturing process optimization.

Manages, supervises and optimizes all activities and resources in the production process.

BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control helps clothing, fashion and consumer goods manufacturers consistently improve employee productivity, production line efficiency and product quality. The latest cloud, wireless and analytics technologies make this multilingual software easy to implement, maintain and use.

This production software records time and performance data for all production activities in real time. Key performance indicators (KPIs) for operators, production lines and teams are presented in easy-to-understand displays on a configurable dashboard.

These dashboards used for production line control provide detailed business information for greater production transparency. Advanced analysis and reporting are available through BlueCherry Business Intelligence (BI) tools integrated into the BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control Enterprise.

With online access, directors and business partners have the necessary transparency to monitor every aspect of factory operations. All stakeholders benefit from real-time production visibility, which allows for faster and better informed business decisions across the entire supply chain and the entire production area.

Supervisors and managers rely on BlueCherry Shop Floor Control to identify and resolve production bottlenecks. The system presents options for fixing production delays. Proactive line balancing tools help managers anticipate potential imbalances.

BlueCherry® Shop Floor Control significantly reduces working time, administrative and labor costs, eliminating the requirements for time clocks, paper tickets, gum sheets and manual recording and processing of production and gross payroll information.

BlueCherry SFC Enterprise includes a comprehensive source-to-payroll solution that automatically collects data as operators scan barcodes or RFID tags for each of their activities. This greatly reduces the time allocated to salary calculations and the errors resulting from these calculations.

BlueCherry production software is the ideal solution for managing production lines in factories. Web-based customizable dashboards provide real-time visibility, transparency and information to help you understand performance and production status at a glance. BlueCherry BI integrated tools enable more advanced analysis that reveals important business trends and opportunities.
