frequently asked questions
We built Digit to make complex operations simple—and that includes our answers. Here’s everything you should know before getting started.
How does shop floor control software work?
Chevron down icon

Shop floor control software gives teams a clear, real-time view of what is happening on the floor.

Workers can scan materials, start jobs, and track progress using any phone or tablet. Updates are saved instantly, so managers always know what is in progress, what is finished, and what materials remain. Shop floor management software automatically tracks time, costs, and inventory, eliminating the need for paper or spreadsheets.

Workers get clear instructions, notes, and photos to help them do each job correctly. This makes the whole operation faster, more accurate, and easier to manage.

What's the difference between MES and shop floor control?
Chevron down icon

Shop Floor Control (SFC) and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) both help manage production, but they do different things.

SFC handles daily work on the shop floor, including scheduling jobs, tracking machines and personnel, and monitoring progress in real time. MES is a bigger system that covers SFC and links the shop floor to business planning tools such as ERP. It includes quality control, inventory tracking, data analysis, and ways to improve processes.

Put simply, SFC handles the daily workflow, while MES oversees the entire production process and leverages data to ensure smoother operations.

Why do manufacturers need shop floor control software?
Chevron down icon

Shop floor control software lets manufacturers see exactly what is happening on the factory floor in real time. 

Teams get live updates on machines, workers, and materials, so they can spot problems early, prevent delays, and keep production on track. Manufacturing shop floor software helps lower costs by cutting waste, improving quality, and automating repetitive tasks. Managers can plan better, adjust schedules, and make smarter use of resources. 

Tracking every step of production also makes it easier to trace products and meet compliance requirements. Shop floor control software helps make a busy factory more organized, efficient, and dependable.
