Terminals can be password protected and multiple users can access the same terminal from multiple locations.

 

Terminals allow manufacturers to control how data collection will be executed.  Terminals are used by employees on the shop floor but can also be used by all employees in the company for different data collection purposes.    
 
There are 2 types of terminal in LYNQ:

  • Clock-In terminal
  • Shop Floor terminal

Clock-In terminals are typically located at the entrance of the building or production unit to track employees clock in and clock out time. This type of terminal may be used by all employees regardless of their functional role. Clock-In terminals are typically limited in their functionality.

Shop Floor terminals are typically located on the shop floor and situated within the relevant production unit. These terminals can be configured by equipment, crew or employee to display scheduled/unscheduled shop orders or only shop orders within a specific time frame or within custom filter definitions. Additional elements can be included, (e.g. Break, Lunch, Material Issue, Kit Issue, Production Issues) providing employees with the ability to complete all their reporting requirements from one simple screen.

LYNQ is shipped with 8 pre-configured workbench terminal definitions ready for immediate use. The configuration of these terminals has been designed to service well established manufacturing models and you can start to use them as a template with minimal further configuration.
