JITbase is designed to make machine and operator data accessible, actionable, and visible wherever the work is happening. Displaying the software correctly in your production environment is a simple yet strategic way to improve efficiency, awareness, and responsiveness on the shop floor.
JITbase can be displayed on multiple types of screens depending on your preferences and infrastructure:
This flexibility allows manufacturers to adapt the display method to their layout and workflows.
Based on real-world experience from our clients, the most effective setup is one display per machine. This ensures the operator always has access to real-time data on the machines they are managing without needing to carry anything around.
Some manufacturers consider using one tablet per operator. While it may sound efficient on paper, in practice, operators don’t carry the tablet with them when moving between machines. This results in limited visibility and missed insights, especially when working across multiple stations.
Having a fixed screen on each machine removes this friction entirely. It keeps key information visible at all times and reduces the cognitive load on operators.
JITbase offers different types of views, each designed with a specific purpose.
This is a dedicated view built specifically for operators, showing detailed real-time information about the machines they are responsible for. It displays machine statuses, alerts for downtime or issues, and helps operators prioritize tasks. This view works best when displayed directly on or next to the machine.
For a broader perspective, the dashboard view displays overall production status, shop floor performance, and key KPIs. This view is ideal for monitoring the full shop in real-time, showcasing productivity metrics, and aligning teams during daily standups. It is typically displayed on TV screens placed in strategic locations around the factory.
To get the most out of JITbase in your production environment, use one fixed display per machine for operator visibility. Show the operator view on machine screens, and use the dashboard view on wall-mounted TVs for a team-wide overview. Avoid relying on mobile tablets assigned per operator, as they tend not to follow the operator across machines.
