Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

	How does touch screen design differ from a bar code collection system?
	FACTIVITY does not require paper. FACTIVITY shows real time information about orders and operations with up-to-minute dispatch lists (schedules) to help keep the most important jobs on top. FACTIVITY has a finite scheduler built in to provide realistic line-up of work at each work center. FACTIVITY analyzes your time standards, in real time and alerts you to problems as they occur. ^Top
	Some of the people on our factory floor cannot read...is that a problem with your system?
	No, FACTIVITY is an intuitive system that does not use a "left-to-right" orientation of other systems. It uses big, colorful buttons that lead the operator through the data collection process quickly. Many of our customers have spent as little as 2 HOURS training the operator before going live. ^Top
	How do I justify implementing FACTIVITY?
	You can justify the FACTIVITY system... - If you don't have good visibility to every floor order on a real time basis. - If the labor time from the floor today via time tickets is sometimes inaccurate. - If job reporting takes too long. - If you want to shrink your manufacturing cycle time. - If you want to go "paperless" on the factory floor. - If you need to improve the accuracy of your standards. ^Top
	Do I need to have a network in place or can you install it for us?
	FACTIVITY runs on an NT or UNIX/LINUX server. We can install it (and order the hardware) if you like. The touch screen reporting stations (workstations on the floor) run on Windows. ^Top
	Can touch screens hold up on our factory floor?
	Yes, many customers have found the touch screen to be the best choice for a new factory floor system. They are designed to handle temperature changes and extremely harsh manufacturing environments. ^Top
	Can FACTIVITY provide time and attendance reporting?
	Yes, FACTIVITY has a feature to allow a worker to sign into the factory at any workstation or if you like, when he/she starts the first job of the day. ^Top
	Can our machines "talk" to FACTIVITY to record information about production and down time?
	Yes, FACTIVITY is a standard "open" network system that allows interfacing to floor machines. ^Top
	What is the best way to get more information about FACTIVITY to see if it is fit for us?
