Tap-To- Start

Tap-To-Start is a nice alternative to barcode scanning on the factory floor. It allows employees to tap jobs and tasks instead of scanning. In some cases, that may be easier than deploying a full scanner. After all, waiters do it every day at their hostess stations. So why not on the factory floor.

The results of Tap-To-Start is identical to barcode scanning. But the process may be simpler in some cases.

Tap-To-Start is tailored to the user who is logged in, or to the employee who taps their name. It only shows jobs and tasks they are assigned to. That limits the number of items to scroll through.

Mfg Dashboards Enhanced by Scripts

Scripts can enhance any Standard Time® dashboard. Just write a SQL script to query or compute values, then right-click on a grid header to insert a new column with the script. The script is run for every line in the grid, so display values from scripts are based on data in each line. Pretty nice trick!
