The Real-Time Dashboard gives you a live, visual overview of factory performance as production happens.
It is designed for managers, planners, and supervisors who need instant visibility into productivity, output, and efficiency — without waiting for reports.

The dashboard updates dynamically based on production logs and allows you to analyze performance over time, by stage, by project, or by resource.

With the Real-Time Dashboard, you can:

Monitor live production KPIs

Track productivity over time

Compare performance across stages, projects, and teams

Customize widgets and charts to match your role

Save multiple dashboard views for different use cases

🔍 What Is the Real-Time Dashboard?

It combines:

KPI cards (totals and ratios)

Charts (timelines, comparisons, breakdowns)

Filters (time, project, category, stage, labour, etc.)

Unlike static reports, the dashboard is:

Always up to date

Interactive

Customizable per user

KPI Cards (Top Metrics)

The KPI cards provide a high-level snapshot of production performance.

Common KPIs include:

Total Qty
Number of items completed in the selected period

Total Hours
Total recorded production hours

Total Weight
Total processed weight (tons)

Total Hours / Weight
Efficiency indicator showing hours spent per ton

Each KPI shows:

The current value

Percentage change compared to the previous period

Green arrows indicate improvement
Red indicators highlight decline

Charts & Visual Analysis

Below the KPIs, the dashboard displays interactive charts.

Chart Type

Common chart views include:

Timeline (production over time)

Comparative breakdowns

Granularity

Control how data is grouped:

Daily

Weekly

Monthly

This helps identify:

Trends

Bottlenecks

Sudden drops or spikes in productivity

Data Breakdown & Filters

You can slice dashboard data using powerful filters.

Primary Dimension

Choose how data is grouped on the chart:

Timeline

Job Number

Secondary Dimension

(Optional) Add a second level of grouping, such as:

Phase

Building

Customer

Country

This allows multi-dimensional analysis (e.g., Weight by Stage per Customer).

Dataset Types (What You Measure)

Click the dataset settings to control what metrics appear in charts.

You can enable up to two datasets at the same time, such as:

Weight

Length

Area

Hours

Hours / Weight

Qty

Volume

This allows direct comparison, for example:

Weight vs Hours

Qty vs Hours

Managing Widgets

Click Manage Widgets to customize your dashboard.

From the widget panel, you can:

Add KPI cards

Remove existing widgets

Reorder by drag & drop

This allows each user to build a dashboard tailored to their role.

Examples:

Factory Manager → Efficiency & output

Production Supervisor → Stage-level performance

Planning Engineer → Throughput & capacity indicators

Saving Your Dashboard

Click Save to store your current dashboard configuration.

You can:

Create a new dashboard

Update Existing dashboard

Options include:

Dashboard name

Set as Default (loads automatically on login)

This allows you to maintain multiple dashboards for different needs.

Click Switch to move between saved dashboards.

This is useful when you have:

A daily operations dashboard

A management overview dashboard

A productivity analysis dashboard

Each dashboard retains its own layout, filters, and widgets.

⭐ Best Practices

Use short time ranges (daily/weekly) for operational monitoring

Use longer ranges (monthly/yearly) for trend analysis

Keep KPI cards focused — avoid overcrowding

Save separate dashboards for different roles

Review Hours / Weight regularly to detect inefficiencies

Combine stage and labour filters to uncover bottlenecks

Reports – Generate detailed production reports

Production Stages – How stages impact dashboard data
