Dashboard Cast to Production Floor Monitor

[Dylan_Ainsworth]

We are focusing on increasing MES compliance on our production floor.

Currently Supervisors view labor activity through a BAQ on their desktop.

We have built a dashboard out of this BAQ to refresh the data every 30 seconds so that you are essentially seeing real time labor activity as operators log various jobs, time, etc. and preventing the supervisor from having to refresh the BAQ manually.

We are wanting to cast this dashboard to a monitor on the production floor for the operators to see as well.

What would be the best approach in doing so without eating up users/licenses for individual departments. We are wanting to avoid having to create a user per department with customizations/filters to the dashboard to only view employees under their supervision.

I would think we are not the only company wanting to accomplish this and someone has already done so.

TIA!

There are a few threads here about this, including this one:

System Status Screen

I’m thinking of making an Epicor System Status screen that we can display on screens around our shop/office. So it’s obvious if there is a bottleneck or other problem somewhere in our business pipeline. With simple green lights/numbers for everything working and red lights to indicate something is wrong. So a grid of say 30 indicators for each department and/or part of the process. For example Revisions stuck in EWB Items on jobs not ordered yet POs submitted but unconfirmed for more than 2…

Warehouse Digital Signage

Good afternoon, We are considering implementing several large screen dashboard-style displays at various points in the shop. To begin with, we want to get one device up and running in the managers office. This will be the proving ground. If we can get this one to work, the goal is to have up to a dozen such devices around the shop. The display will show data from epicor (probably from EDD), we may also want it to show images, videos, announcements, or other non-epicor stuff. I did a little re…

Thanks for linking those threads Mark, good reads.

I was already planning on bending @jgiese.wci ear next week anyway.

We currently do displays using piSignage, and we are looking at integrating Epicor data to a few of them soon. Traditionally we would just do this in html, as what we want to display is pretty simple and tabular, but these pretty screens are very intriguing.

We have a few micro pc’s running which are hooked up to TVs.

We either create internal web apps or create a stand WPF app via visual studio.

Using the BAQ query it should then be easy enough to grab the data source and publish that into a grid to view. Then just needs a timer on order to re-pull the data on an interval.

WPF app will require install were as web app won’t.

Thanks, there is enough information in these reads. My wording in these searches must really stink because I couldn’t find any articles.
