Accelerated Production Planning with Target Monitoring

Picture this: It is the start of a busy day. Laundry is steadily coming into the facility from all different routes. Sorting operators are actively working to fill the soiled storage in the Futurail rail system. Your production plan has set targets for each product line for each day of production.

Everything seems to be moving along nicely, but do you know:

• If, or when, you will hit your production targets?

• What are your production percentages of each category?

• Where are the remaining items located within your laundry?

The newest version of Rail Explorer from Futurail can not only monitor the location of these items in sorting, soiled storage, wash, dry, and clean storage but can also let you know if you are on track to hit your production targets by the end of the day. If you are falling behind on any segment of production, the Rail Explorer software package allows the production team to manually adjust the call-off of the soiled storage, re-routing production to ensure you hit your daily targets.
The  same principle applies to the clean side rail system where linen is stored after leaving the dryers or cake breakers. The newest version of the Futurail software package allows you to manually prioritize production to meet the daily targets of all linen categories. 
With prioritized call-off and target monitoring, this software update takes the guess work out of production planning! 

  • Improve efficiency by setting production metrics.
  • Visualize real-time status of product lines.
  • Highlight current product locations within the Rail Explorer Laundry Overview page.
  • Automatic Lean Manufacturing by scheduling for just-in-time production.
  • Eliminate the “Walk Through” Production Progress clipboard because all data is easily accessed with the press of a button via a computer or on any smart device connected to the network.

Have 100% overview of all production and target monitoring within your laundry.
