Barcode Production Tracking

Pro-Man
Barcode Bundle
Tracking System

A computer system that produces barcoded bundle tickets travelling with bundles from the first operation to the last. Every 2 hours, operator coupons are scanned — giving management complete, live visibility into sewing and finishing performance.

How Pro-Man Works
Barcoded bundles. Scanned coupons. Live performance data.

Pro-Man produces barcoded bundle tickets that travel with bundles from the first operation to the last. Each operation has its own coupon which is detached by the operator. Every 2 hours these coupons are scanned — and a multitude of critical management information is instantly available on the manager's desk.

Automatically control your entire sewing floor

Pro-Man fundamentally produces all the information you need to control the performance of sewing and finishing areas — freeing supervisors and managers to actually manage.

Accurate & Reliable Data

Eliminates guesswork — all performance information is captured precisely from scanned barcode coupons, not manual tallies.

Incentive Scheme Provision

Multiple incentive structures supported — Individual, Group, Piecework, and Stepped — with real-time earnings visible to operators.

Piece Work Earnings

Money value of work can be printed on the barcoded ticket — operators see exactly how much they've earned throughout the day.

Freeing Supervisors to Manage

With data gathered automatically, supervisors spend time solving problems — not collecting information manually from the floor.

Total WIP Control

Up to 10 configurable "soft-coded" progress points track work in progress through every stage of the operation sequence.

Simple for Operators

Operators simply detach coupons — no data entry, no complex systems to learn. The simplicity drives compliance from day one.

Everything in Pro-Man

Five powerful sub-systems work together to give you complete factory floor intelligence — in real time.

01
Barcode Scanning

Scan as often as you wish — we recommend four times a day. Two hours after work commences, management knows exactly where the problems are and can take corrective action immediately.

All information is "Live" and available on the manager's desk immediately after scanning. Every direct operator is scanned every period — capturing produced minutes, absent time, lost time, off-standard time, and overtime. Lost time is captured against a reason, highlighting areas that need attention.

All work done by the operator is held in an audit trail. Tickets cannot be scanned twice — effectively sealing the operator's ability to "cheat" the system. Missing tickets become a thing of the past.

02
Work in Progress Tracking

Comprehensive WIP tracking throughout the system. When the operation sequence is created, certain operations are identified as progress points — up to 10 progress points available, all "soft-coded" so they can be named to suit your factory's terminology.

03
Incentive Structures

Multiple bonus structures are available — Individual, Group, a combination of Individual and Group, Piecework, and Stepped. It is also possible to print the money value of work completed on the barcoded ticket instead of the target, letting the operator calculate exactly how much she/he has earned during the day or week.

04
Automatic Skills Matrix

The system automatically builds a skills matrix for every operator — showing what operation types each person can do and the efficiency reached on each operation. This information is invaluable when balancing lines, during new style installations, and for producing training plans that show exactly where skill gaps exist.
