SHOP FLOOR AND QUALITY CONTROL
Know what is happening on the shop floor as it happens
VS.floor helps control glass factory activity using the work recorded at its stations. It brings together batches, operators, machines, incidents and rack movements to show what is in progress and what needs attention. With VS.trace, operators have the context for the pieces they are working on and can record progress during manufacturing.
- Factory managers
- Quality managers
- Shop floor operators
Benefits for your company
Real-time visibility
Every workstation reports work sessions, progress, waiting times and incidents in a consistent way.
Quality built into the process
Checks and non-conformities stay linked to the piece and the exact stage of manufacture.
Keep work moving after an incident
Breakages and remakes follow a controlled process that preserves priority, cause and traceability.
What VS.floor offers
Production sessions and workstations
Start, continue and close work at each station with the relevant batch, operator and machine information.
Production progress displays
See workloads, statuses, bottlenecks and alerts, moving from an overview to the detail of a single piece.
Quality checks and incidents
Record checks, breakages and causes at the workstation where they occur, retaining the associated evidence.
Racks, holding areas and movements
Locate work in progress and guide its movement between workstations, holding areas and factory destinations.
Locate a job and resolve an incident before the next operation
Example workflow: a supervisor needs to know what has finished cutting, where the glass is and whether a piece needs remaking before work continues. The answer comes from records made at the workstations.
Identify the station and batch
The operator starts or resumes a session with the appropriate machine and job. VS.floor checks the context required to open guided execution in VS.trace.
Record progress and incidents
At the station, operators confirm completed work and record breakages or other incidents. Records retain their connection to manufacturing so the team can follow up.
Coordinate the next step
Progress and location enquiries help locate glass and its racks. Planning receives information about progress and remakes to decide how work should continue.
How it connects to the suite
- Dimpro ProdReceives the plan and returns progress, incidents and actual workload by workstation.
- VS.traceMaintains the identity of each piece and guides its next operation.
- VS.vistaTurns shop floor activity into dashboards and notifications.

Before choosing VS.floor.
What is the difference between VS.floor and VS.trace?
VS.floor organises the workstation context: session, operator, machine and outstanding work. VS.trace provides guided execution for the corresponding pieces or operations. Both applications share the information needed to record progress and preserve traceability.
How does quality control relate to production?
Checks and incidents are associated with the manufacturing stage where they are recorded. Retaining the affected work and its cause helps the team investigate what happened and track remakes. Stations and checks are configured to suit the company’s process.
Can an operator use a QR code scanner?
At compatible stations, VS.trace QR commands let operators confirm the active item with a scanner as an alternative to the keyboard action. Session, sequence and destination checks remain in place; the item being confirmed depends on the operation displayed.
