GPS.identstep
Record production status easily
): GPS.identstep is an information and production feedback terminal. It supports shop floor employees in recording ready, breakage and rework messages and displaying information specific to the current work step. By scanning barcodes, production data are transferred directly to the ERP or production control system, ensuring transparency and traceability in production.
How is GPS.identstep structured?
GPS.identstep consists of a user-friendly shop floor application that can be used on industrial PCs, industrial scanners or mobile devices. The solution is fully integrated into the LiSEC production environment and communicates primarily with GPS.prod.
Components:
- User interface for production employees
- Barcode scanners or industrial scanners
- Connection to GPS.prod
- Interface to the ERP system
- Functions for ready and breakage messages
- Display of work-step-specific information
- Transport rack management
- Generation of control and machine information for downstream processes
How does GPS.identstep work?
GPS.identstep supports the production process directly at each individual work step.
- The employee scans the barcode of a glass sheet, component or unit.
- The system identifies the product and checks its assignment to the production order.
- Relevant information for the current work step is displayed.
- Ready messages, breakage messages or rework can be recorded directly.
- The feedback is automatically transferred to GPS.prod and, where applicable, to the ERP system.
- This continuously updates production planning and ensures traceability.
- Information can also be provided for downstream equipment or third-party systems.
Who is GPS.identstep suitable for?
GPS.identstep is suitable for:
- Production employees at individual workstations
- Operators of production equipment
- Employees in insulating glass, flat glass and window production
- Quality control and rework stations
- Dispatch and packaging areas
- Production managers who want to ensure complete production feedback and traceability
The solution is particularly suitable for companies that want paperless production, real-time feedback and seamless integration of production data with GPS.prod and ERP systems.
What advantages does the software offer?
GPS.identstep enables continuous, transparent production feedback directly at the workstation. Simply scanning barcodes allows ready, breakage and rework messages to be recorded quickly and accurately. Production employees receive all relevant information for the current work step directly on the shop floor. This reduces manual data-entry effort, improves data quality and ensures complete traceability throughout the production process. Direct integration with GPS.prod and ERP systems also ensures that up-to-date production data are available in real time.

- Extended integrations within the LiSEC system environment (e.g. GPS.prod, production lines and other shop floor components)
The Highlights
Barcode-based production feedback
Employees can record ready messages, breakage messages or rework simply by scanning a barcode. The information is updated immediately in the production system and is available to all downstream processes.
Work-step-specific information
GPS.identstep displays information relevant to the current production step, such as shape positions or product-specific instructions. This reduces errors and improves process reliability.
Real-time integration into production
All feedback is transferred directly to GPS.prod and connected ERP systems. This provides an up-to-date overview of production, supports better planning and ensures complete production traceability.
