Case study - Spindle direct labor & utilities module

Business Situation
Employee production numbers were being manually collected by supervisors. Data was often incomplete, inaccurate, and not available until one to two days later. In addition, the process took a lot of time to collect and compile and was often challenged by employees as influenced by favoritism. Utilities were also collected manually using bills.
Solution
The Spindle Direct Labor Module was implemented at the facility to automatically track employee name, ID, goods classification, equipment, work area, shift and counts directly form the equipment sensors. The Utilities Module was added with meters for all major natural gas and water consumers, plus temperature and level information.
