Managing labor schedules across an assembly line can be challenging, especially when multiple production processes must remain synchronized. For JBS USA, one of the world’s leading animal protein processors, coordinating staggered shifts is an important part of maintaining efficient production and proper handling of perishable products.
JBS USA ordered a DC-Digital EZ-Time Master Clock and Bell Schedule system to help manage complex shift schedules throughout its operations. The Windows-based system provides an intuitive interface for creating and managing multiple bell schedules while keeping connected digital clocks synchronized.
The system combines EZ-Time Master Clock and Bell Schedule software with DC-Digital secondary clocks featuring custom firmware and integrated relay functionality. Each secondary clock can be individually addressed through the software, allowing different clocks to follow specific shift schedules.
When a scheduled break or lunch begins, the system activates a bell through the integrated relay and the associated clock switches from time-of-day operation to a countdown display. Employees can see the remaining break or lunch time at a glance. When the countdown reaches its scheduled endpoint, the bell sounds again and the clock returns to displaying the current time.
The EZ-Time system supports an extensive number of scheduled events, making it well suited for facilities with multiple shifts and varying break schedules. For JBS USA, the system provides a centralized way to coordinate production schedules, break periods and shift changes while helping keep employees throughout the facility synchronized.
