Calling all nerd engineers! You will want to memorize this!
Standard Time® has so many valuable capabilities and areas for nerds. Dig into the details, dig into the numbers, dig into the dashboards! This is where nerds earn gold stars for nerdiness, and where the rest of the company gets valuable manufacturing data. Of course, it all starts with barcode scans on the shop floor, and builds into actionable data. Get started today!
For nerds only. And only nerds who import and export data.
Everyone else… do not click.
This video will hopefully inspire you to try automated imports and exports to exchange data on a scheduled basis. This can be a huge time saver.

Prepping work orders for barcode scanning in Standard Time® may include the use of a “Project Assistant.” This video describes creating jobs using this assistant.
Once you get into production in earnest, you probably won’t need the Project Assistant. Instead, you can right-click on an existing project and choose Duplicate.
Get inspired to scan!
