Give the floor one clear view of what should happen next
Combine the supervisor’s order queue with compact operator updates, hold and downtime review, and accountable shift handoffs.
The first screen is a live shift control board, but the application also includes operational forms, event data, exception queues, and closeout-ready records.
Free for up to five users. No credit card required.
Adapt fields, workflows, and dashboards without code. Explore 1,000+ app templates and use cases
- Queue by line, shift, and order state
- Fast operator updates with realistic controls
- Holds, downtime, and handoffs with owners
Connect dispatch, execution, exception, and handoff
Each moment has a different user and screen. The records remain connected.
- Before shift
Confirm the dispatch queue
Supervisor reviews released work, sequence, readiness, staffing, open holds, and inherited issues.
- During work
Report only meaningful events
Operator selects the order and event, records quantity or loss, chooses a reason, and adds evidence when required.
- When blocked
Create accountable review
A hold or downtime event reaches the right supervisor, quality owner, maintenance lead, or materials coordinator.
- At handoff
Transfer context, not just status
Next shift receives the current order state, inherited issue, owner, due action, and acknowledgement.
Use controls that match the shop-floor task
An ID should be generated or selected, not manually retyped. Status, priority, reason, and decision fields should use controlled choices where consistency matters.
Generated identifiers
Create event, handoff, and review IDs automatically; select the production order from a controlled record reference.
Event choices
Use radio or dropdown controls for start, progress, output, scrap, downtime, quality hold, resume, and complete.
Numeric facts
Capture good quantity, scrap quantity, and downtime minutes as numbers with validation.
Evidence and decisions
Use attachments, notes, reviewer choices, acknowledgement, and due dates where the exception requires proof.
Show the queue in the order decisions will be made
The useful queue exposes which record needs attention and why.
Dispatch
Line, shift, sequence, readiness, planned start
What should run next?
Active work
Running, paused, last update, actual quantity, blocker
Where is intervention needed?
Hold and downtime
Event type, severity, reason, minutes, owner, review status
Who decides restart or escalation?
Shift handoff
Unresolved issue, next action, due time, acknowledgement
What must the next shift accept?
Keep frontline work simple without giving up specialist execution depth
Jodoo can digitize human work and decisions. Machine-connected control and high-frequency genealogy require the right MES or industrial system.
Human event capture
Mobile-ready forms, controlled reasons, evidence, routing, and review
Device ergonomics, offline needs, identity, and integration
Shift control
Order queues, owners, handoffs, exception aging, and drill-down dashboards
Complex dispatch rules and real-time machine state
Machine execution
Actions triggered from summarized signals
PLC/SCADA connectivity, genealogy, recipes, electronic batch records, and control
Design for the person completing the next action
A good floor application reduces ambiguity and unnecessary entry.
What should shop floor management software show?
Supervisors need the dispatch queue, current work, blockers, freshness, owners, and handoffs. Operators need a short task or event form with only the fields required for the current action.
Should operators type production order IDs?
Usually no. Generate record IDs automatically and select or scan an authoritative order identifier to reduce transcription errors.
Can different lines use different forms?
Yes. Use conditional fields, line-specific choices, filtered views, role permissions, and shared reporting rules.
Does Jodoo work as an MES?
Jodoo can support configurable shop-floor workflows, data capture, approvals, and dashboards. Do not assume it replaces machine integration, genealogy, process control, or other validated MES requirements.
See how floor work hands off to planning, quality, materials, and maintenance
Use the workflow map to decide which records belong on the floor and which decisions should continue in another production system.
Test one shift with real events and handoffs
Use queued, running, held, resumed, completed, and overdue examples to prove that the app helps the operator and supervisor act.
