IP REALTIME™ SHOP FLOOR CONTROL SOLUTION

IP Realtime Logo

IP Realtime helps employees and teams pace themselves to increase earnings by providing on-demand performance feedback. It also empowers supervisors and managers to quickly track order status, monitor individual and team productivity, resolve quality issues, manage off-standard events, and better balance production lines.

How IP Realtime Works:

IPE has changed the game with IP RealTime payroll and shop floor control solution. This simple and affordable to deploy and use solution streamlines incentive and hourly payroll tasks, while giving you and your teams better tools to manage the day to day operation of all your production activities. From issuance of the production order, to production data collection and gross payroll processing, IP Realtime streamlines plant-wide processes.

Data collection is managed through standard WiFi and off-the-shelf Android® devices to keep it simple and affordable. By capturing all production data instantly as it occurs, IP RealTime empowers supervisors and managers to quickly track order status, monitor individual and team productivity, resolve quality issues, manage off-standard events, better balance production lines and more.

All IPE solutions and modules can run either as a standalone application or integrated with your ERP, engineering, or other systems. IPE solutions plug the ‘shop floor hole’ in ERP by handling order control and piecework payroll information and reporting. Either way, you will gain a wealth of shop floor information and management control.

IP Realtime Modules include:


  • IP-Bundle

    This module houses Base Rate, Operation, & Style libraries; allows setup of colors and sizes (up to eight 'dimensions' in total); and allows creation of Cuts/Bundles.

  • IP-Collect

    This module collects and stores daily transactions from the Shopfloor real-time system utilizing wireless Android tablets. This module also allows the set-up of base tables such as Employees, Departments, Teams, Shifts, Pay Codes (Off Standard codes), Training Curves, etc. The wireless tablet infrastructure is easy to install. QR codes are used to capture data on bundles that are worked on. The real-time system allows immediate operator feedback, so they can pace themselves individually or as a team. The tablet also provides information on what work orders are being manufactured.

  • IP-Process

    This module calculates individual or team employee gross payroll based on the local rules of the country and also sends the payroll calculations to a 3rd party payroll processor (ADP, PayChex, Performance Payroll, etc.). The module also calculates employee averages (2 user defined) and tracks employees along defined training curves. Direct and indirect labor costs are also calculated and reported.

  • IP-Label (CarePro Advanced)

    This module allows graphical design and printing of product care labels. CarePro is completely integrated with the ticket printing module. So when a cut is defined in IP, product care labels can then be automatically printed for production orders.
