Reporting that fits the shift
Operators record events as work progresses, reducing reliance on notes and delayed entry.
Production reporting directly from the shop floor
Production insight starts where the work happens.
Give operators a fast, touch-friendly way to record setup, production, pauses, downtime, good parts and scrap against the correct job, machine and operation. Shop-floor events become a consistent operational view for supervisors and production managers.

Outcomes
Shop-floor data that people can understand and use.
Reporting becomes part of the operation rather than an end-of-shift reconstruction from notes and memory.
Context behind every result
Quantities and durations remain connected to the correct job, operation, machine and operator.
Faster understanding of issues
Downtime reasons, scrap and activity history show where closer attention may be needed.
Core capabilities
From a touch at the terminal to a clear production report.
The operator sees focused actions; the manager receives the wider job, machine and time context.
Touch-friendly interface
Large controls and a clear operation flow support fast reporting at the workstation.
Job, operation and machine
Every event remains connected to the operator, machine, work order, operation and time.
Activity history
Setup, production, pauses, downtime and completion form a chronological operation record.
Good parts and scrap
Work-order progress includes reported output and scrap, not only time spent on the task.
Queue during connection loss
Pending entries can be kept locally and retried when communication becomes available.
Management dashboard
Time, job, operator, machine and status filters plus CSV export for selected data.
See the system
Operators report. Managers see the context.
These screens come from a working demonstration build and contain fictional data only.
Pilot workflow
Start with one machine, cell or production area.
First validate usability and data value in a focused scope. Then decide what should be expanded.
Map the events
Agree which activities, pauses, downtime reasons and quantities should be reported.
Prepare the context
Configure pilot users, machines, work orders, operations and reason dictionaries.
Launch the terminal
Introduce the pilot at the selected workstation, cell or operator team.
Evaluate the data
Review usability, report quality and necessary refinements before the next rollout step.
Deployment and support
A terminal for the shop floor. Data control for the organisation.
Browser and touch
Use touch terminals, industrial PCs or suitably prepared tablets in the pilot area.
Roles and event history
Operator and management views are separated while each event retains its time, person, machine and operation context.
Pilot support
Help mapping the workflow, configuring reasons, launching stations, onboarding users and evaluating results.
FAQ
Questions before the first demo.
Does Shop Floor Time replace a MES or calculate full OEE?
No. It is a focused tool for operator event capture, time registration and practical production reporting, not a complete MES or OEE platform.
What can an operator record?
Setup, production, pauses, downtime, good quantities, scrap and the relevant job, operation, machine and operator context.
What happens if the workstation loses its connection?
Pending entries can remain in a local queue and be retried after communication is restored. Exact offline behaviour is verified during the pilot.
How can managers use the information?
They can review KPIs, filter operational records, inspect downtime and production history, and export selected data to CSV.
Is the product available now?
NCTune Shop Floor Time is in active development. Guided demos and pilot implementations are available for a representative machine, cell or production area.
Start with one real flow
Show us one shift, one workstation and one reporting challenge.
We will map the operator journey and show how everyday production events can become clear information for the people managing the process.

Would you like to test production reporting in one real area?
Describe the workstation, operator flow and reporting challenge. We will propose a practical demo or pilot scope.
