Computer Controlled Master Clock System to stagger production times and breaks

Clocks

Coordinating labor efforts on an assembly line can be very challenging. What do the end of line laborers do to be productive while the start of line laborers complete their first process cycles? How can manufacturers reduce cyclical work in process that exists between subsequent processes? When the product is perishable, or human food, how can manufacturers reduce spoilage and ensure proper handling to meet quality standards? For JBS USA, the US branch of the world’s leading animal protein processor, the best solution is to schedule laborers in staggered shifts. This introduces new challenges in time management. DC-Digital has a solution. Our EZ-Time Master Clock and Bell Schedule software for Windows provides an intuitive interface to complex bell scheduling. Combined with our DC-40 secondary clocks with custom firmware and integrated relay, the system mitigates the challenges of complex time management. Each secondary clock is addressable in the software to keep time for its shift. When it’s time for breaks or lunch, the clocks ring a bell with the relay, then countdown the time remaining in the break or lunch, before ringing the bell again and resuming time-of-day operation. 21 different shift schedules keep the meat fresh while one software and 21 clocks keeps everyone on time.
