These systems use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) or Barcode technology for real-time information capturing. Information tracked via RFID readers (terminals) from the shop floor is processed through software and provides various real-time reports that help in managing the production floor. Most essential reports and tools such as line balancing, WIP, individual operator performance, line performance (output and Efficiency), and employee earnings are available within a second.
