No real-time view of what's running and whether you're on track

With FrontlinkLive line status with progress-vs-plan and gap explanation
  1. Every line shows its current state in real time: Running, Stopped, Idle, Starved, or Blocked, derived from machine counters and optional run/stop signals.
  2. Active orders display current good count, target quantity, progress percentage, and estimated completion time.
  3. Gap analysis explains the difference between planned and actual: downtime minutes, speed loss minutes, and scrap, so you know why you're behind, not just that you are.
  4. Dashboard aggregates all lines into a single plant overview with drill-down to individual machines.
  5. WebSocket push ensures every screen updates within seconds of a state change on the floor.

The problem

  1. Who feels it most

    Production managers, planners, supervisors, and sales/customer service teams who need delivery commitments.

  2. Why ERP / WMS doesn't solve it

    ERP status updates depend on manual confirmations and end-of-shift entry. ISA-95 explicitly positions real-time execution visibility at Level 3 (MOM/MES), not Level 4 ERP.

  3. How common is this?

    High wherever paper-based shopfloor reporting dominates. Frontline work frequently relies on paper processes instead of live systems.

Business impact

  1. Late orders and poor schedule adherence from delayed information
  2. Excess WIP and forgotten partially-finished batches
  3. Overtime from 'surprise' backlogs discovered too late to act

Solved by

  1. Production and operatorsAt the line, operators see the order, the steps and the instruction for each step. Materials are scanned, checks recorded and the shift hands over digitally. No paper, no retyping.
