Tap. Scan. Done: The Smarter Way to Run Your Shop Floor

 

Too many manufacturers are still relying on desktop PC’s, Excel spreadsheets, and wired barcode scanners. The result? Wasted time, missing parts, and supervisors who are stuck chasing updates instead of leading production.

Here’s the good news: It doesn’t have to be this way.

VISUAL’s ShopFloor mobile tools, implemented and optimized by ICG, offer a better way. This isn’t about just improving old processes - it’s about empowering your workforce with real-time visibility, smart scheduling, and mobile-first control over labor, materials, and WIP.

 

One Platform. Total Visibility.

Whether you’re an operator, supervisor, or production manager, VISUAL ShopFloor keeps you connected to what’s happening - without the walkarounds and paperwork.

With mobile tools accessible from any browser-enabled device, your team can:

Report labor directly from the work center.

Log time instantly by scanning a work order, using a touchscreen, or clicking through digital travelers. No paper. No lag.

 

Manage materials at the point of use.

Receive, pick, ship, adjust inventory, and perform cycle counts - all in real-time, right from the floor. Reduce foot traffic and boost accuracy.

 

Track WIP and eliminate lost parts.

Assign WIP locations, print tracking labels, and utilize mobile dashboards to monitor the location of materials and identify what is ready for movement.

 

Enable smart scheduling and dispatching.

Give supervisors real-time views of workload, capacity, and resource availability. Operators always know what’s next, and materials are ready when the job starts.
