A tablet at the machine, not a login to the office.
Operators pick their name, enter a PIN and book the work where it happens. What they record moves the plan, draws down the batch and lands on the job's costs.
How the floor uses it
Three things we would not compromise on.
-
Principle 1
The floor never signs in to the office
A tablet is paired with a machine and only offers that machine's jobs. Operators without a fixed machine use their own portal. Neither can see the office system.
-
Principle 2
Count parts, not hours
Operators enter good and scrap. When the quantity is met the operation completes itself and open bookings close. The plan only ever asks how many are left.
-
Principle 3
Stop the clock honestly
A job on hold or a machine that is down stops the clock and refuses bookings. A machine-down needs a due-back time, and the plan works around it.
Around the booking
Everything an operator needs, nothing they do not.
Attendance sits beside job time, so you can see how much of the day went on jobs. Minding two machines counts once, and indirect time is never costed to a job.
Drawings on the screen
Instructions, drawings and specifications for the part issue, on the booking screen, with the route so far.
Scrap with a reason
Scrap is booked with a reason and raises its NCR there and then, while the operator still remembers why.
One operator, two machines
Set how much attention a work centre needs. An operator can leave a job running unattended and book on to another.
Attendance and indirect time
Clock in, clock out and time not on a job, one thing at a time. Open bookings close themselves at the end of the shift.
Labour utilisation
Time on jobs against time attended, less unpaid breaks, per operator and per day.
The office can correct it
A missed clocking or a wrong count is corrected by the office, with the change on the audit trail.

Beta partner programme
We're building this with machine shops, not just for them.
A small group of precision engineering firms is using Amplify ERP early and shaping what gets built next. There is room for a few more.
- Early access to the full system
- A direct line to the people building it
- A say in what gets built next
