AJS Profiles: Development Highlights

At a glance

• A new shop floor app, built from scratch, that updates the production database from a phone
• One scan per job: a QR code on every job line takes a worker straight to that job
• 3 job details updated from the phone: the stage completed, the plate number and the out date
• 2 production stages signed off by name, cutting and grinding
• No app to install: it works in any phone's web browser
• About 1,000 lines of code across the shop floor app and its secure API
• 1 Access database moved onto SQL Server, keeping the screens the team already knew
• 5 office users on a faster shared database

What it means for AJS Profiles

• Live progress. The office sees where every job is as the work happens, without walking onto the shop floor.
• Entered once, by the right person. Plate numbers and out dates come straight from the operator, not from paper.
• Accountability built in. Every cut and ground job shows who did the work.
• A faster, sturdier database. The whole office works quicker, on a footing that can grow with the business.
