Enterprise add-onReal-time production floor visibility — from welding procedure to shipped product
See every unit, every stage, every welder, every hour — in real time. Built for shops that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't want a six-figure MES.
Visibility
See the floor
Live WIP Dashboard
Every unit on the floor, in real time, by stage. Cutting → Fitup → Weld → Inspection → Paint → Ship. WebSocket-driven — no refresh needed.
Bottleneck and Labor View
Which stage is starved? Which is starved-and-starving? Where is labor parked vs producing? One screen for the plant manager standing at the morning huddle.
Supervisor status board
A wall-mounted live status board at /kiosk/{company}/{facility}/board shows real-time floor activity with overdue color coding for every unit and stage.
Per-stage expected duration
Set expected hours per production stage so the board flags overdue units the moment they slip behind schedule.
Execution
Run the work
Work Orders
Release and track work orders from the office to the floor — each carries its routing, due date, and live status so supervisors always know what's running and what's next.
Production Scheduling
Sequence jobs across work centers and shifts on a drag-and-drop board that flags capacity conflicts and keeps promised ship dates realistic as priorities shift.
Digital shop traveler with QR scan
A living shop traveler follows each unit from raw material to shipped product. Operators sign off each operation with quality-checkpoint enforcement; scan the QR to open the full traveler or print it as a PDF. Your customer can scan the same QR on a delivered part.
Secure shop floor kiosk
Company-scoped, PIN-authenticated clock-in tablets at flaggity.com/kiosk/{company}/{facility}. Workers clock in and out without a login — every scan is tenant-isolated.
Printable unit QR labels
Batch-print QR labels for 1 to 500 units. Stick on the steel. The label is the unit's identity from cut list to shipment.
Worker Registry with certification tracking
All trades — welders, painters, fitters, inspectors, assemblers — with trade-specific certifications and automatic expiry alerts.
WPS Digital Pocket Guide
Every welder looks up the correct WPS on their phone before striking an arc. Search by joint, material, or process — pull the latest PDF, view essential variables, scan a QR posted at the workstation.
Stock & procurement
Material, from receipt to weld
Inventory Ledger
A real-time stock ledger tracks every material in and out by location, with low-stock and out-of-stock alerts so the floor never starts a job short of steel or consumables.
Purchase Orders
Raise purchase orders to suppliers, track approvals and receipts against expected materials, and close the loop from shortfall to received stock without leaving Flaggity.
Material and heat-number traceability
Link mill certificates and heat numbers to every unit. The traveler shows full material traceability — spec, heat, mill cert and received date — and your customer sees a clean, supplier-safe summary on the public QR view.
Issued vs. planned
What the job actually consumed — vs. what the BOM said
Consumption capture
Actual material issues recorded against the work order, heat and lot numbers riding along. Backflush is a per-item opt-in — and everything backflushed is marked standard-assumed, never passed off as measured.
Issued-vs-BOM reconciliation
Per-line variance against the BOM standard: over, under, on-standard — and lines with no consumption data say no data, never a number faked from the standard.
Job cost that includes the steel
Material burn lands in actual cost, so CPI per work order reflects reality — and uncosted rows are flagged incomplete, not zeroed away.
WebSockets, not polling
Real-time, by default
WebSocket push
Stage transitions, clock-ins, and inspection results push to every connected client instantly. The plant manager and the office controller see the same number at the same second.
Stage-aware
Default stages cover most fab/manufacturing flows. Customize stage names per project and reorder per product line. WIP rules enforce sequence so units can't skip inspection.
How the math works
Job costing calculation
- Welder clocks in via QR scan — start timestamp recorded against unit + operation
- Welder clocks out — duration computed, labor rate applied per welder profile
- Costs roll up: per operation → per unit → per project
- Variance vs. estimate exposed live on the project dashboard
- Material costs (steel, consumables) can be attached per unit for full job cost
Connect QuickBooks Online or Xero (Enterprise add-ons) to automatically sync labor hours and material costs from Flaggity into your accounting system every hour — no double entry.
Enterprise add-on
