Introducing nPower Scheduler™ 2.1: Greater Visibility, Flexibility, and Control on the Shop Floor
nPower Technologies is excited to announce the general availability of nPower Scheduler™ Release 2.1—a powerful update designed to deliver enhanced production visibility and flexible control for manufacturers and their teams.
Building on the success of our widely adopted Work Center Gantt View, this new release introduces a Scheduling Board that gives managers and operators real-time clarity on what operations are currently in progress and what jobs are up next.
Let’s take a look at some of the key features of the new Scheduling Board in Release 2.1.
Drag-and-Drop Image Association
Operators can now drag and drop images directly onto operations within the Scheduling Board. These images are linked to the specific part, which means if the part appears across multiple jobs or orders, the image will automatically replicate everywhere it’s needed.
Have a revision update or need to correct a mistake? No problem—simply drag a new image over the operation to update it in seconds.
Real-World Runtime Adjustments—Without ERP Hassle
We understand that shop floor personnel often have more accurate, real-time insight into actual setup and runtime than what’s listed in the system. Whether routing data originates from a quote or the resource has different capabilities, inaccuracies in setup and runtime can cause costly bottlenecks.
nPower Scheduler™ 2.1 allows technicians to override these times directly on the Scheduling Board, avoiding the hassle of navigating back to the ERP system and ensuring that production data reflects real-world conditions.
Dynamic Production Rescheduling
Unplanned events are inevitable. Whether a machine goes down or a job suddenly becomes a top priority, the Scheduling Board’s drag-and-drop functionality enables users to easily shift operations from one resource to another—keeping the entire production schedule agile and accurate.
Real-Time Job Status Updates
Operators can now update job statuses right from the Scheduling Board. Whether it’s moving an operation from “Setup Started” to “Run Started” or marking a job as “Run Completed,” these updates can all be made without returning to the ERP system.
This direct interaction helps maintain accurate, real-time visibility into what’s happening on the shop floor—boosting accountability and efficiency.
Ready to Take Control with nPower 2.1?
These are just a few of the powerful enhancements in nPower Scheduler™ Release 2.1. With greater visibility, flexible control, and shop floor empowerment, this update is built to optimize your scheduling process from end to end.
