Shop-Floor Reporting · PDA / Tablet / PC

Report production across PDA, tablet and PC, supporting operation-level, summary and piece-rate reporting as well as full pause / resume / abort scenarios. Reported data flows back to the work-order board in real time and links automatically with piece-rate payroll, SPC control charts and OEE.

Core Capabilities of Shop-Floor Reporting

A standard 5-second action + 5 reporting modes covering every scenario

📱 PDA Reporting

Workers scan the work-order barcode on a PDA, enter quantity and confirm yield — a report in 5 seconds, with offline mode resuming uploads after disconnection.

📚 Tablet Summary Reporting

Team leaders batch-enter the whole shift's output on a tablet, split by operation + worker, sparing workers from reporting one by one.

🖥 PC Back-Office Entry

For missed or mis-reported cases, PMC / statisticians enter or correct records on the PC, with a full audit trail throughout.

📊 Automatic Yield Tracking

Enter good, defective and rework counts at reporting time; operation yield accumulates automatically, with alerts when it falls below baseline.

Pause / Resume / Abort

Handle equipment faults, material shortages and quality stops in one tap; downtime is classified by cause and fed into OEE.

💰 Piece-Rate Payroll Integration

Reported data automatically computes wages from standard operation hours + piece rates, with a one-click payroll-sheet export at month end.

PDA Reporting: A 5-Second Standard Action on the Floor

The shop floor has no time for workers to spend 30 seconds filling a long form. SBK MES compresses the PDA reporting flow to 5 seconds: scan the work-order barcode → enter the good count → submit, with all other fields pre-filled or inferred by the system.

  • Scanning instantly identifies the work order, operation, worker and equipment
  • Quantity entry supports shortcut increment/decrement and a scan counter
  • Defect count and defect codes are optional; quality anomalies are auto-pushed to inspection
  • Offline mode: keep reporting when disconnected, auto-syncing once the network returns

Multiple Reporting Modes for Every Scenario

Different industries and processes require different reporting methods. SBK MES has 5 built-in reporting modes, and factories choose flexibly based on operation characteristics.

  • Operation reporting: report each operation individually for the highest precision
  • Summary reporting: report once at the end of the shift for the highest efficiency
  • Piece-rate reporting: paid by the piece, directly tied to payroll
  • Milestone reporting: set key-node reporting for long-cycle work orders
  • Automatic reporting: integrate with equipment PLCs, no manual entry required

Reported Data: The Lifeblood of MES

Reported data drives more than half of MES functionality: work-order progress, operation yield, equipment OEE, labor hours, piece-rate pay, SPC charts and cost aggregation — one accurate report saves countless rounds of duplicate entry.

  • The work-order board refreshes the progress percentage in real time
  • SPC control charts automatically collect data and plot
  • OEE performance is computed automatically from reported cycle times
  • The cost system aggregates by "actual hours × hourly rate"
Use Cases

Reporting in Practice Across Industries

Auto Parts: Report Every Operation

OEMs require operation-level traceability; every operation is reported individually, with a 5-second PDA scan that doesn't disrupt cycle time.

SMT Automatic Equipment Reporting

Pick-and-place output data is transmitted automatically; workers only need to confirm, with no manual entry.

Apparel Piece-Rate Pay

Pieces completed per worker × unit price = wage, with sheets generated automatically at month end and no disputes.

Machinery Assembly Milestones

For non-standard equipment with a 30-day cycle, report at 3 nodes: "frame complete / final assembly complete / commissioning complete."
