Easy Shopfloor
The operator's screen for Business Central production — start, stop, output and consumption registered where the work happens.
Production registration without the clipboard
Planners live in Business Central; operators do not. Easy Shopfloor gives them a web portal on the tablet or terminal at the work center: their routing tasks on a kanban board, one tap to start, pause or stop, output with lot, serial or package, component consumption with scrap — all written into the standard Business Central production tables the moment it happens. No middleware owns the data, no re-keying at the end of the shift, and the operator signs in with the same Microsoft account as everyone else.
Key features
A web app built for touch, backed by a Business Central app that validates every action.
Work centers and kanban
Browse work centers, machine centers and routing tasks in a tree; move tasks across routing statuses on a kanban board, one or many at a time.
Start · pause · stop
Operators and resources clock on and off a task; timestamps go to capacity ledger entries and production time sheets.
Output with tracking
Register quantities and scrap per operation, with lot, serial or package numbers assigned on the spot.
Component consumption
Consume components against the production order with quantities, scrap and tracking details.
Validated by Business Central
Every queued action is validated, dispatched and tracked by the Business Central app; errors come back to the operator's screen.
Only your work centers
Each user is mapped to work center groups; the portal shows the tasks that belong to them, nothing else.
Built for
Discrete and process manufacturers who plan in Business Central and want the floor to feed it back in real time.
Operators
One screen, big buttons, their own tasks; start, stop, output and consumption without learning Business Central.
Production supervisors
The kanban shows what is waiting, running and done per work center, and who is on it, as it happens.
Planners and controllers
Capacity entries, time sheets and output land in standard tables, so planning, costing and reports see the shift immediately.
