Real-Time Shift Readiness & Workforce Allocation
Know who has reported for work, monitor workforce availability in real time, and prepare manpower, raw materials, and production activities before every shift.
The Cost of Poor Shift Visibility
Production efficiency depends on having the right people, materials, and equipment ready before every shift. Without real-time workforce visibility, supervisors struggle to verify attendance, allocate manpower, and prepare production resources, resulting in delays and reduced productivity.
Unknown Workforce Availability
Supervisors do not know how many employees have reported before the shift begins.
Production Delays
Manufacturing starts late because workforce readiness cannot be confirmed quickly.
Manual Attendance Verification
Attendance records require manual verification before production planning.
Poor Workforce Allocation
Employees cannot be optimally assigned to production lines or workstations.
Material Preparation Delays
Raw materials and work orders cannot be prepared accurately without knowing available manpower.
Limited Shift Analytics
Organizations lack visibility into workforce readiness and shift performance.
How Shift Readiness Works
1.
Employee Wearable Tag
Employees carry RTLS-enabled ID cards or wearable tags that are automatically detected during bus boarding, facility entry, or designated checkpoints.
2.
Reader/ Gateway Network
BLE, RFID, UWB, GPS, and gateway infrastructure automatically detects employee presence and updates workforce availability in real time.
3.
Shift Readiness Dashboard
Supervisors instantly view employees who have arrived, department-wise manpower availability, shift readiness, and attendance status.
4.
Workforce & Material Allocation
Based on available manpower, supervisors assign workstations, allocate operators, prepare raw materials, and release production activities.
5.
Analytics Dashboard
Analyze attendance trends, manpower utilization, shift readiness, workforce allocation, and production readiness through centralized dashboards.
