Shop Floor Control Overview
BYTE's Shop Floor Control serves as the powerful foundation for our piecework and hourly payroll modules—delivering the accurate, timely data needed to drive fair incentives and efficient operations.At its core are two flexible modes:
- Real-Time (BYTETIME): Operators use affordable Android tablets to capture production data instantly as work happens—no delays, no guesswork.
- Batch Mode: Reliable processing for environments where real-time isn't required, still providing full visibility into operations.
Both systems expertly manage critical details—operations, styles, cuts, and bundles—while generating clear, scannable tickets for part identification and tracking.Manufacturers rely on BYTE's shop floor solutions to:
- Balance sewing and assembly lines for smoother flow
- Minimize work-in-process (WIP) and eliminate excess inventory
- Identify and resolve bottlenecks in real time
- Track and improve key performance indicators (KPIs) across every shift
The result? Measurable ROI through higher throughput, reduced downtime, less waste, and better labor utilization—proven in apparel, footwear,
leather goods, mattresses, furniture, and other sewn-products or discrete assembly environments.BYTE has successfully deployed BYTETIME across
diverse industries, with an especially strong fit for assembly-line processes. Deploy it as a standalone MES solution for immediate shop floor gains,
integrate it seamlessly with BYTE's own ERP and payroll modules, or connect it to your existing third-party ERP—flexibility without compromise.
