By using smart.box you get complete transparency on the work floor. You are able to follow all orders and processes. The planning and realization are shown on the work floor via live dashboards. In addition, you are able to monitor processes in production & logistics and adjust them where necessary. Even customers can follow the order status in real time and view their own order data.
Measuring all order activities provides a wealth of information that serves as input for the continuous improvement process. This gives you insight into the added value, downtime, productivity and pre-calculation/post-calculation and much more.
All operational data is gathered in the smart.monitor, providing real-time visibility into the status of every order on the shop floor. The smart.monitor collects input from each workstation (smart.box), along with data from your ERP system, machines, and other third-party applications. This ensures full transparency across the work floor, making it ideal for monitoring and adjusting daily operations, as well as serving as valuable input for continuous improvement processes.
By displaying both planning and actual performance, you engage all employees in the daily operations. This information is shown on large screens in each department, as well as in support areas.
Each live dashboard provides relevant data specific to the department. For example, in a job shop environment, it displays this week’s planning and actual performance, along with next week’s schedule. In machine environments, we show machine status, performance, and all order details. In assembly processes, the focus is on performance relative to customer takt. For project-based organizations, the dashboard highlights the status of ongoing projects.
Naturally, you want to pinpoint where improvements can be made in the process and then track the impact of those changes. With the smart.monitor, you can visualize all activities and quickly identify bottlenecks. Pareto charts highlight the most significant planned and unplanned downtimes, whether by sub processes or the entire value stream. Additionally, the impact of improvement actions can be easily tracked through trend graphs.
“Employees gain insight and control over their own planning & realization.”

Operations Manager – SunCircle
The ideal solution for tracking production performance is through live monitors on the shop floor. SunCircle sought greater visibility, which is why department performance is now displayed in every department. During department walks, the production status is instantly visible, enabling the right questions to be asked to further optimize the order flow.
What makes the smart monitor from smart.box unique is that it not only provides insight into planning and execution, but also displays real-time order downtime (🔴 + 🟡). These can be addressed directly on the shop floor or by supporting departments. Additionally, logging stoppages offers valuable data that can drive long-term improvements.
