Production Coach
Woodworking, Production Management Solution
Get a real-time, 360° view of your factory’s operations, control & view your entire production, eliminate physical files and follow your projects’ progress in real time.
RESULTS TO EXPECT
Production Coach is the only solution that manages parts, assemblies, broken parts, shipping errors, provides user friendly assembly instructions. You can schedule your projects and track them through each stage of your factory.
CUSTOMIZED TRACEABILITY TECHNOLOGIES
- The most common one: The Barcode
- RFID – (Radio-frequency identification ) – RFID tag can be attached to an product during production, which can be used to track its progress through the factory. – Is currently deployed for products and sub-assemblies.
- CNC SYNC: data capture directly from machines.
TAKE THE PULSE OF YOUR COMPANY IN REAL TIME
Production Coach utilizes a centralized SQL database connecting both office and factory to real-time data. Web applications such as Jobsite Tracking and Timekeeping are synchronized with the Local Area Network environment.
Production Coach is modular in nature meaning that you can do as little or as much as you want with it. Successful deployment in your factory can be accomplished in days, not weeks or months.

Visual of alerts per project
Visual of production
DAMAGED PARTS
Reports and alerts of missing or damaged parts are created and distributed automatically.
TIME KEEPING
Web based time keeping for payroll and work order costing.
SMART LABELS
Grouping by edge material or part type for next operation, automatically updated parts status, and create damaged part alerts all from a single interface.
Generate on-demand labels, control and pace off-loading and label orientation.
SORTING
A single barcode scan organizes parts by assembly and provides feedback for missing items. Assembly is notified of products ready to assemble. Sorting can be synchronized with other sorting stations: cabinet parts, doors/drawer fronts, drawer boxes, base assemblies, etc.
COMPATIBLE WITH:
- Mobile Cart
- Wait until all parts of a project are sorted into 1, 2 or 3 mobile carts before being sent to assembly
- Square Footage Required
- Fixed Rack
- Put in/Pull Out
- Continuous Mounting
- Takes up less space.
