Digital Performance Dashboard System for Manufacturing Optimization

The client employs paper-based performance boards that require frequent printing and updating of documents, leading to inefficiencies, high paper waste, and inconsistencies across different teams. Their new facility has limited wall space due to architectural constraints, complicating the display of large physical boards. Additionally, teams have varied formats, resulting in inconsistent information presentation and difficulty in maintaining real-time updates. These issues hinder effective communication and operational visibility across the organization.

A large manufacturing organization seeking to replace traditional paper-based performance boards with a digital solution to enhance operational efficiency, communication, and resource management in a new facility.

• Develop a digital performance dashboard system that visually resembles traditional paper-based boards for user familiarity.
• Utilize large (e.g., 65-inch 4K) touch-enabled displays throughout the facility for easy access and interaction.
• Enable authorized personnel to update performance and company-wide information efficiently from any location within the facility.
• Support remote and on-the-go access for managers and team members to ensure continuous monitoring and quick response.
• Eliminate paper waste by replacing physical boards with a sustainable digital alternative.
• Create standardized templates and layouts to ensure consistency across different teams and departments.
• Streamline information dissemination through centralized updates, reducing manual printing and minimizing outdated information.

• Interactive 65-inch 4K touch screens for displaying multiple performance boards tailored to individual teams and departments.
• User authentication and role-based permissions to control who can update or modify specific content.
• Centralized content management system enabling authorized personnel to upload, modify, and schedule updates for all boards across the facility.
• Pre-designed templates mirroring traditional paper boards to facilitate easy transition and user familiarity.
• Real-time updating to ensure all screens reflect the latest information without delays.
• Mobile and remote access capabilities for authorized users to view and update boards from any location within or outside the facility.
• Audit logs and version control to track changes and maintain data integrity.

• Internal enterprise resource planning (ERP) or manufacturing execution systems (MES) for performance data feeds
• Single sign-on (SSO) authentication systems for secure user access
• Notification and alert systems for instant communication of updates or issues

• Scalability to support multiple displays and increasing data volume as the facility grows
• High performance with real-time updates visible across all screens
• Robust security with role-based access control and audit trails
• Availability of 99.9% uptime to ensure continuous monitoring
• User-friendly interface with low latency response times

The digital performance dashboard system aims to significantly improve operational efficiency by providing real-time, consistent, and accessible performance data. It will reduce aggregate printing costs and paper waste, streamline communication across teams, and enhance decision-making capabilities. Expected benefits include a reduction in manual update time, improved information consistency, and better resource utilization, leading to a more agile and environmentally sustainable production environment.
