The system gives you all information about the status of equipment in real time. It keeps track of what's happening at every single station along with how long it takes for a piece of work to be done. The software can run on Windows or Mac OS X machines, which makes the management process easier since both platforms are supported by almost any hardware manufacturer out there. I would like to see more customizability options - some functions should have been made easier than others. We've found this software very helpful when managing our shop floor.
