Keep the Floor Aligned to the Current Schedule
Deliver production schedules digitally to every operator console, manage job sequence across lines and machines, and make sure the floor is always working from the plan that's actually current.
10in6 turns schedule changes, order status, and shop floor execution into a live view of the production schedule — visible where work happens, updated the moment the plan changes.
In most plants, the schedule changes faster than the paper does.
A schedule is printed. It gets handed out. A priority changes. A job is delayed. A new order needs to move up. Someone updates the plan — but not everyone sees it at the same time.
That is where confusion starts. One team is working from the latest version. Another is still following the old one. Operators may not know what is coming next. Supervisors may need to walk the floor explaining changes. Production schedulers lose time pushing updates manually instead of managing the schedule itself.
The result is not just inconvenience. It creates the risk of running the wrong order, missing priorities, slowing changeovers, and making on-time delivery harder than it should be.
Digital schedule delivery helps close that gap. When the current plan is visible directly at the point of use — and updates reach the floor the moment they happen — the floor and the schedule stay aligned.
The current plan, delivered to where the work happens.
The schedule is delivered directly to the floor
10in6 provides paperless delivery of the production schedule to operator consoles and other plant users who need it. Instead of relying on printed schedules or verbal updates, the team works from the current schedule in the system.
The active order, target rate, and upcoming work are visible where execution happens — not just in the planner's screen.
Changes reach the floor the moment they happen
When priorities shift, the schedule can be updated without reprinting and redistributing paperwork. Supervisors and schedulers can push the latest order sequence to the floor immediately so everyone is looking at the same plan.
That reduces delay, confusion, and the risk of running from instructions that are no longer current.
Order progress is tracked as production runs
As production runs, 10in6 tracks schedule progress in real time. Teams can see the status of current orders, what is coming next, and how production is moving against the plan.
That gives supervisors and schedulers a live view of what is actually happening — not just what was supposed to happen.
Job sequence is managed across lines and machines
Digital schedule delivery goes beyond displaying a list of work orders. It helps organize and prioritize the order in which jobs should run across machines, lines, and related processes.
This is especially valuable when multiple operations need to stay coordinated, or when sequence matters for flow, changeover time, or delivery commitments.
ERP and machine workflows can be connected
When integrated, 10in6 can download schedules from your ERP and upload production results back. In some environments it can also support recipe download or machine setup guidance tied to the scheduled order — helping connect planning and execution more closely and reducing the gap between what was scheduled and what was actually run.
What the operator sees
The operator sees the active order, live progress against target, and what is scheduled to run next — all without a printed sheet.
The floor sees the schedule. The schedule reflects what the floor is doing.
With 10in6 Digital Schedule Delivery, your team can see:
- The current production schedule on the shop floor
- The active order and what is scheduled to run next
- Real-time order progress and status updates
- Schedule changes pushed instantly to the floor
- Job sequencing across machines and lines
- Start times, run times, and changeover timing
- Target quantities and actual quantities by order
- Upcoming work orders within the operator workflow
- Schedule history and execution visibility tied to production activity
Why paperless delivery changes how the floor operates
A schedule only helps if the floor is actually working from the current version. Printed schedules create lag. Verbal updates create inconsistency. Whiteboards depend on someone remembering to keep them accurate.
When the current schedule is delivered digitally to the point of use, operators do not need to guess what is next, supervisors do not need to chase down outdated copies, and schedulers can make changes with more confidence that the floor sees the same plan they do.
Why sequence management matters
In many operations, knowing what needs to run is not enough. You also need to control what should run next, where it should run, and how the flow is coordinated across the process.
When job order is managed clearly, plants can reduce unnecessary changeovers, improve coordination across lines, respond faster to priority changes, and support better on-time delivery — without relying on supervisors to hold the sequence in their heads.
Digital Schedule Delivery works especially well alongside:
Digital Schedule Delivery questions
- Can 10in6 replace printed production schedules?
- Yes. The module is designed to support paperless schedule delivery so operators and supervisors can view the current production schedule digitally at the point of use.
- Can schedule changes be pushed to the floor in real time?
- Yes. When a schedule is updated, the latest version can be made visible to the floor immediately — without reprinting or redistributing paperwork.
- Can operators see upcoming orders?
- Yes. Operators can see the current active order and, in many deployments, upcoming work orders in sequence directly within the workflow.
- Can this integrate with our ERP?
- Yes. 10in6 can integrate with ERP systems for schedule download and production upload, with the specific approach confirmed during the deployment.
- Can we sequence jobs across more than one machine or line?
- Yes. The module can support job sequencing and prioritization across multiple machines, lines, and related processes.
- Can schedule execution be tracked in real time?
- Yes. The system tracks order progress in real time so teams can see how production is moving against the current schedule.
- Can this support recipe download to machines?
- In some environments, yes. Scheduled orders can be tied to recipe or setup-related workflows to help guide changeovers and machine preparation.
