Dispatch flexibly across three dimensions — equipment, team and operator. Scan to receive work orders and watch the operation-flow board refresh in real time; the skill matrix ensures only capable people get the jobs they can do, preventing quality problems from skill mismatches.
A complete chain from APS scheduling results to the workstation board
APS scheduling results are auto-split and dispatched by shift to specific operators / equipment; the scheduler only approves, with no need to assign each card by hand
Operator skill profiles are auto-matched against operation skill requirements; only operators who hold the required skill can receive that operation's card
Operators scan the work-order barcode on a PDA to receive it; the system automatically checks whether prior operations are complete and materials are ready
Electronic work-order cards include operation number, SOP, parameters, first-article requirements and target hours; paper versions can be printed and posted at the workstation in one click
After a quality decision sends an item to rework, it's auto-routed back to the original operation; rush orders can be force-reassigned to idle resources
The shop-floor wall shows live WIP / to-dispatch / completed counts per operation, letting the scheduler control the whole picture on one screen

Traditional dispatching means the supervisor reads a roster at the morning meeting while operators jot it in a notebook — lost and missed orders are common. SBK MES auto-splits dispatch cards from APS scheduling results; operators scan to receive on a PDA, with the whole process traceable.
Each operator has a skill profile (welding L3, CNC operation L2, AOI inspection L1), and each operation defines its skill requirement. The system only dispatches jobs an operator can do, avoiding mismatches like "Old Wang has never done this operation but gets pushed into it anyway."
When an operator reaches the station, they scan the work-order barcode with a PDA and the system checks: ① Is the prior operation complete? ② Are materials fully ready? ③ Has the first inspection passed before starting? Only when checks pass is the dispatch card issued; otherwise the reason is given.
