Production Monitor
GPS.prod option for a production overview
The Production Monitor provides an interactive real-time overview of the current production status. Based on capacity planning and all ready messages, a dynamic job list is generated for each machine. Operators, production managers and management can see utilisation, progress and outstanding tasks at all times and respond quickly to changes.
How is the Production Monitor structured?
The Production Monitor provides a central overview of all relevant production data and can be configured individually to meet the company's requirements.
Main components:
- Overview of the planned daily production volume
- Display of all ready messages from production
- Dynamic job list for each machine and production area
- Target/actual comparison of production output
- Real-time machine status monitoring
- Display of current orders and production progress
- Alarm history and status messages
- Filtering and grouping functions for time periods and areas
- Overall plant view
- Machine view with detailed information for each machine
How does the Production Monitor work?
The Production Monitor processes planning data from capacity planning together with feedback from ongoing production. Each ready message automatically updates the job list and production status of the affected machines. This ensures that up-to-date information on utilisation, production progress and outstanding work is available at all times. Operators can immediately see their next tasks, while production managers can centrally monitor the entire production operation and identify deviations from the plan at an early stage.
Who is the Production Monitor suitable for?
The Production Monitor is suitable for:
Production managers:
- Overview of utilisation, progress and capacities
- Identification of bottlenecks and deviations from the plan
- Support for production control
Machine operators:
- Display of current and upcoming work orders
- Clear prioritisation of tasks
- Paperless provision of production information
Plant and production managers:
- Monitoring of production output
- Target/actual comparisons and performance evaluation
- Support for decision-making processes
Maintenance staff:
- Monitoring of machine conditions
- Access to status messages and alarm histories
Management:
- Real-time insight into production status and equipment performance
- Basis for operational and strategic decisions
What advantages does the software offer?
The Production Monitor creates transparency across ongoing production and provides everyone involved with up-to-date information in real time. By linking capacity planning with production feedback, it provides a dynamic overview of utilisation, progress and job lists. This allows production managers to respond more quickly to deviations, machine operators to work more efficiently and management to make informed decisions based on current data. At the same time, the paperless provision of information reduces administrative effort and improves the responsiveness of the entire production operation.

The Highlights
Real-time production monitoring
The Production Monitor displays the current status of all relevant production areas and machines in real time. Ready messages and status changes are processed immediately, ensuring an up-to-date view of production at all times. This enables a rapid response to bottlenecks and faults.
Dynamic job list
Capacity planning and production feedback are used to generate a continuously updated job list for each machine automatically. Operators can immediately see their next tasks and prioritise their work effectively without relying on manual lists or printouts.
Machine and plant overview
In addition to an overall view of the plant, detailed information is available for individual machines. Status, current orders, utilisation and alarm history can be monitored centrally. This gives production managers and maintenance staff a quick overview of the entire production operation.
