Henning Industrial Software demonstrates an add-on to its Visual EstiTrack ERP, the Touch Scheduling Board application. The application is designed to replace magnetic boards. It provides a visual Kanban-type presentation of operations that is queued up on the workcenters in electronic card format. Users can move these cards around via the touch screen, and the updates are shared across the network, throughout the organization, without relying on a single location where a magnetic board would be kept. The features help customer service departments see their priorities and queuing of work, and helps shop floor personnel share data such as status updates and operational notes from one work shift to another.
