The little video below will serve as inspiration to check this out. Google “Standard Time Barcoding” on YouTube. You’ll likely find some videos on employee time tracking on the shop floor.
Here’s how it works:

- Scan a work order
- Scan a task name
- A timer will start
- Complete the task you’re working on
- Scan your username again
- Scan STOP
- The timer will stop
- You now have collected timestamps, employee, work order, and task for every job on the shop floor. Use that to improve workflow.
