MES/Planning Dashboard/Automations/Alerts - Idea Sharing

[Mitch_B]

Morning All,
We are trying to define a planning and scheduling department and im reaching out to the community to see what cool dashboards and interactive data discovery dashboards people have made for:

• Job Management
• Job Status
• Order Fulfilment Status
• MES/Shopfloor Data Feedback
• Ontime Job management

Also any cool or fancy alerts/automations that are made to trigger perhaps notifications that on the face of being a new epicor user I may not be aware even exists!

I know its abit of an ask, but im hoping some people can share some real cool things they have made or done, I have a fighting chance to get a real headstart on some of the management tools that maybe used (also get them made by our Epicor Dev)

Thanks all

Just following up if anyone has any ideas?

Our Shopfloor Schedule - Dashboard:

Our Job Tracker / Status Dashboard:

Those are very nice @Mitch_B. I’m intrigued by the buttons and URL links on the Schedule dashboard - can you elaborate the what & why? A few are obvious, but the others are interesting. And the “about this dashboard” link - where does that go?

I’m talking with my supervisors about a better dashboard for managing, including batching, assigning machine resources, etc. and this has caught my eye

@MikeGross , hope this helps.

In a nutshell, the objective with this dashboard was to create a “single source of truth” for our shopfloor staff. A single interface where the user can access all the information required to help them excel within their job. Conceptually an amalgamation of a schedule, a digital route card and all real-time data suitable at both an individual and a supervisor level.

The new functionality in Kinetic with Application Studio are pretty powerful, enables you to pull data on the fly as and when you need it.

About this Dashboard

Hyperlink to our ClickUp instance (Amazing tool), which handles all things dev related at our company. (Backlog, sprint cycles, dev KPI’s, user feedback and documentation)

In this case the link will take you to the document help page for the dashboard, it contains pretty much how to use the dashboard and the definition for the data.

Incoming Materials

Give a quick view to any raw material incoming then looks for the first “core machining” operation.

This makes our shopfloor staff aware of material availability and when they should be expecting the raw material to be expected.

First Off Inspection

All items queued awaiting First Article disposition via Inspection Processing.

Jobs At Subcon

Where there is a purchase order to a subcontractor and the filters are applied for the next op in the routing by resource.

Mass Assign

Be able to move jobs on mass to a different resource.

Job Materials (Slider) - Button

Shows all the raw material requirements of the job inclining the dimension and prep requirements.
Then shows the mill and supplier certification of any issued materials. Providing enhancements to traceability.

Submit Mtl Sizes (Slider) - Button

Allows for the programmer to input the required material size for the raw material required along with their work holding configuration (prep), they can also upload images to aid the prep of the raw material as well as any required instruction/notes for our stores department.

Routing Info

Essentially a digital route card with the process of how to manufacture the part, along with real-time information like transaction and inspection results.

Job Attachments

Links to all attachments relating to the job.

Job Schedule
Is just a slider of the job schedule ghant.

Thanks for that explanation!! Very cool stuff! I’m probably going to plagiarize this a fair bit

[klincecum (Kevin Lincecum)]

@MikeGross

plagiarize

[ridgea (Alex Ridge)]

No worries at all.

Hope it helps and inspires.

incredible work there, what a tool, we are going through implementation so still trying to learn the “whats possible” versus actually even starting to build it out

Im going keep this thread open there is some real food for thought for many who are new to reporting on all this new business information that epicor gives, its nice get a head start on things from the community

top work thank you!!
