Gain Real-Time Shop Floor Visibility with PSL Datatrack

Do you know what’s happening on your shop floor right now? In this MTDCNC Technical Corner episode, Tom Skubala talks with Geoff Gartland, Managing Director of PSL Datatrack, about how subcontract precision engineers can gain real-time visibility, control and confidence in their operations.

Geoff explains how PSL Datatrack’s Sequential Scheduler plans jobs in order of priority, giving you a clear work-to list for each machine. Combined with Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) and Status Boards, you can track:

• Machine progress and operation status
• Who is working on which job and when
• Available capacity for last-minute or rush jobs

With these tools, you can schedule efficiently, reduce guesswork and confidently commit to delivery dates. Real-world examples, like Jota Advanced Engineering Limited, show how live shop floor tracking can transform efficiency and decision-making.

If you’re looking for CNC shop scheduling software, job tracking systems or shop floor data collection tools built specifically for subcontract precision engineers, this episode shows how PSL Datatrack keeps you in control from office to workshop.
