Shop Floor Reporting

Operators use the Shop Floor Workbench to view dispatched shop order operations, start/stop setup and run time, report completed and scrapped quantities, and receive shop orders to stock from a single shop-floor client.

Employees and teams clock direct operation time and indirect time via the Time Clock and Shop Floor Workbench, with man-hours derived from labor time, crew size, and valid work intervals for labor costing and attendance reconciliation.

IFS Cloud acts as MES to connect machines to shop order operations via the Shop Floor Connector and Schedule Connector projections and outbound IoT events, enabling automated start/stop, quantity, scrap, downtime, and quality registration in real time.

Operators create analyses and enter quality inspection results against shop order control plan data points directly from the Shop Floor Workbench, completing and confirming variable, attribute, and categorical results that feed SPC charts and can gate shop order receipt.

Availability, Performance, and Quality are derived from work center resource time, downtime, and quantity transactions to calculate OEE (and TEEP) per work center resource per day, with downtime causes classified by OEE factor and calculated online or as a background/scheduled job.

Shop order operations in IFS Cloud are reported through the Shop Floor Workbench, moving from Released through Setup Started, In Process and Partially Reported to Closed while capturing completed, scrapped, bypass and deviation quantities. For parts with Multi-Level Tracking enabled, a shop order tracked structure binds component serial and lot/batch numbers to each parent serial, and that structure must be validated as complete before the parent can be received. Barcode and machine data collection is not a separate IFS module: it is delivered through the Shop Floor Connector projection APIs for starting and stopping operations, reporting quantity and scrap, issuing components and receiving the order.
