Hello,
I am in charge of process sheets in our shop and I really want to get away from hard paper copies. I would really like to develop a paperless process as much as possible. I have looked around for industrial digital displays and some sort of software that will allow for displaying of process sheets and measurement inputs. Just curious if anyone else's shop has any similar digital process sheets or displays; if so, what do you guys use and how well is it working?
To sell the idea to the management team I setup a prototype station using a raspberry PI which has built in wifi. I can manually log into the PI and open the process sheets. Once opened the only control the operator has at the bench is using a 10 key number pad to page up or down. The cost savings on this ONE station are considerable and should lead to a quick ROI. Currently the operator cannot input data so the dimensional sheets still have to be printed out but we do save paper, ink, and time on setup sheets, tool sheets, work instructions etc. As I said this prototype was a cheap way to prove out our attempt but I know there has to be some solution that currently exists.
I have attached pictures, any feedback is welcomed!
