Why Flying Blind on Your Floor Costs You

Shops without a live floor display waste hours every week on status updates, miss handoffs between stations, and make decisions without the full picture.

1

Floor crews rely on verbal check-ins, morning meetings, or tracking down the manager to know what they should work on next. That overhead adds up to hours every week of unproductive time.

Status chasing eats hours every day.

2

Workers waste paid minutes lining up at a shared kiosk to punch into a timecard system, then again to clock out for breaks, lunch, and end of shift. Multiply that by every operator, every day, and a real chunk of production time disappears into a clock.

Timecard kiosks burn production time.

3

Many shops still pass jobs between stages on a clipboard or paper traveler. Workers walk the floor to drop off the next sheet, the next station only finds out a job is ready when the paper shows up, and traveler updates lag behind reality. Handoffs sit invisibly between stations until someone notices.

Clipboards and travelers slow every handoff.

4

Managers leave their desk to check floor status. When they're on the floor, they can't see the rest of the shop. There is no single view of what is actually happening across the whole operation.

No one has the full picture.

Shop Floor Display in 30 Seconds

From any browser to any screen, the whole shop is one view away.

Step 1Connect any screen

Open the display in any browser on any TV, monitor, tablet, or laptop in the shop. No proprietary hardware required. Just a screen and a connection.

Step 2Choose your view

Grid view shows job cards by machine or station. List view shows a prioritized queue. Configure what fields and stages are visible per screen.

Step 3Status updates in real time

As jobs move through production run stages, the display updates automatically. No manual refresh and no one has to update a separate board.

Step 4Floor crew signals from the display

Workers can mark a job as paused, flag a material problem, or signal stage completion directly from the display without leaving their station.

What This Gets You

Every worker knows what is next without asking

The display is the floor's single source of truth. Priorities, stages, and assignments are always visible. Morning meetings become optional.

Handoffs between stations happen on their own

When one stage completes, the next station sees it immediately on their screen. Work stops sitting unnoticed between steps.

Bottlenecks have a name and a face

When work stalls, everyone in the shop can see where and with whom. That visibility creates natural accountability: no one wants to be the station holding up the run, so problems get surfaced and resolved fast.

Managers see the whole floor from anywhere

The same display works on a phone, a laptop in the office, or a 65-inch TV on the floor. You always have the full picture without walking the shop.

Everything Included

Core functions and shop workflows, purpose-built for CNC and fabrication floor visibility.

TV grid view

Full-screen display showing jobs grouped by machine, station, or stage with color-coded status and live progress.

Live status sync

Job and run status updates appear on the display the moment they change in the system. No polling, no refresh.

Multi-screen support

Run different display configurations on different screens around the shop simultaneously. Each screen shows what that station needs.

Custom display layouts

Choose which fields, stages, and columns are visible on each screen. A manager overview looks different from a machinist's queue view.

Worker interaction

Floor crew can update job status, log a pause, and signal stage completions directly from the display. No back-office login needed.

Shop Workflows Covered

Machine-centered display
One screen per machine showing only the jobs queued for that router, saw, or finishing station.
Manager overview display
A single screen at the front of the shop showing all active jobs across all stations at once.
Worker queue at a station
A tablet or small monitor at a workstation shows the worker exactly what is next in their queue with no ambiguity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any screen with a browser. A standard TV connected to a laptop, Chromebook, Amazon Fire Stick, or a smart TV browser all work. OpenSpindle does not require proprietary hardware or special software installation.

Yes. You can configure multiple display views and run each on a different screen at the same time. One screen might show the CNC router queue, another shows the finishing station, and a third gives the manager a full-shop overview.

Workers are set up as team members in OpenSpindle and access their station view from there. The level of access depends on whether they are only viewing status or also updating job progress and logging completions.
