PRODUCTION TRACKING

What's on Each Machine — See It in Seconds.

Which job, which machine, who's running it, when will it finish — live on the shop-floor board. Operators close jobs from their phone, no more lost notebooks. Did the shift hit target? The report's on your desk in the morning.

The Pains We Hear in Every Shop

"Where is this job right now?"

Operator writes in a notebook, the notebook stays on a desk. Customer calls — nobody has an answer.

"Why did the machine stop?"

End of shift: a machine sat idle for 3 hours. Why? Whose fault? Nobody knows.

"Shift missed target again"

You look in the morning — only half the target hit. Which machine slowed? Which job ran late? You can't tell.

"Shift report was late again"

The supervisor collects notebooks, types into Excel — an all-night job. The report is still incomplete.

What You Can Do with İLGERU MES

SHOP-FLOOR BOARD

Live View on the Big Screen

The TV in the middle of the shop is wired to the system — which machine is running, idle or down. Color-coded.

  • Green running, yellow idle, red down
  • Shift target vs. actual
  • How far each job has progressed
  • Operators keep their target in plain sight
OPERATOR SCREEN

Close Jobs from the Phone

At the machine, the operator picks up a job, starts it, reports it done — from a phone or tablet. Scan a QR, no notebook.

  • Start jobs by scanning QR/barcode
  • Pick a downtime reason (tooling, setup, breakdown)
  • Output count enters the system directly
  • Attach a photo if there's an issue
PERFORMANCE

Machine Efficiency, Automatic

How long a machine ran, how long it sat idle, how much it produced — the system calculates and reports.

  • Run time and rate
  • Downtime and reason
  • Accepted output count
  • Overall efficiency score (OEE)
WORKFLOW

The Routing is Defined

Each product has its routing — cut first, then bend, then weld. The system pushes work orders to the right machines in the right order.

  • Machine routing management
  • Which step happens when
  • Next step can't start before the previous finishes
  • Line balance tracking
OPERATOR TRACKING

Who Worked How Much?

Every operator's jobs, time on them, output produced — tracked. Performance bonuses calculated fairly.

  • Operator-level output reports
  • Shift productivity comparison
  • Training needs identified
  • Fair performance bonuses
REPORTS

Shift-End Report, Automatic

When the shift ends, the report writes itself — what each machine did, how the target went, how many units came out. On your desk in the morning.

  • Shift report (automatic)
  • Daily production summary
  • Weekly efficiency chart
  • Monthly comparison

How It Goes Live in Your Shop

Machines Get Defined

Every machine in your shop is registered — what it can do, its capacity, its working hours.

Operators Train

Each operator gets a 1-hour training — start a job on the phone, close it, report a stop.

First Order Goes In

A customer order is entered. The system decides which machine handles which step, in which order.

Operator Picks Up the Job

The work order appears on the machine-side phone. Operator starts, reports output, the system tracks in real time.

Shift-End Report

When the shift ends, the report is automatic — what was made, was the target hit, which machine slowed down.

* These items describe what the system produces; they are not a promised gain. Any change in efficiency depends on your current downtime discipline, your shift count and how consistently data is entered — the sound approach is to measure your own OEE before the pilot and measure it the same way again at the end.

Production Management FAQ

What is MES — is it really needed for a small factory?

MES (Manufacturing Execution System) tracks in real time which job is on which machine, who is running it, and how long it's been running. Even a 5-machine shop benefits: end-of-shift you'll know exactly how many parts came out, which machine sat idle, and which order is slipping. You stop guessing and start deciding on actual numbers.

We track production with Excel — is moving to an ERP hard?

Migration to İLGERU typically takes 2-4 weeks. We import your existing Excel work orders; operators just tap "start job / finish job" on a tablet. It's not complex software — a high-school graduate shift lead is productive on day one.

Can I see production reports from my phone?

Yes. Live production board, order status, machine utilization, shift performance — all visible from phone or tablet. When the owner goes home, the factory floor is still in their pocket.

How does a work order reach the tablet — can I still use paper work orders?

Both are possible. The tablet shows the work order with image, dimensions, customer notes, drawings. If you prefer, operators read it on the tablet; if not, you can still print to paper. No forced transition.
