Learn how DVS helps to transform many aspects of day-to-day operations with real-time visibility and job tracking.
What is Digital Visual Scheduling (DVS)?
Digital Visual Scheduling provides an automated schedule, in real-time, for each job station on the manufacturing floor. It automatically notifies job operators of their next task and shows job progress at each workstation, from beginning to end. Remotely accessible to management, DVS also provides insight into critical job details, such as customer information, job start times, order notes, and more.
“The biggest benefit from an operations standpoint is the time savings and cost savings.”
Mike Weco, Production Manager
