Workshop Floor Setup with Empower

Empower is designed to integrate seamlessly with your workshop environment - giving staff and managers real-time access to job data and performance metrics.

Touch Screen Terminals

Most clients use 24” all-in-one touchscreens on the workshop floor. These are easy to read, fast to operate, and well-received by staff who appreciate the modern, high-tech interface. A typical setup is one screen per five staff, positioned in key areas like machining, fabrication, and assembly.

Real-Time Job Tracking

Workshop staff log in using their ID to:

  • View and start their next job

  • See budgeted time expectations

  • Clock off jobs with real-time feedback on performance (budget vs. actual time)

  • Stay logged onto either a productive or downtime task at all times

  • Breaks are automatically recorded, and Empower generates accurate hours-worked reports for payroll.

For Office and Off-Site Staff
  • Office staff (e.g. designers, CNC programmers) can use Empower from their PCs.

  • Off-site teams (e.g. installers, delivery drivers) access their job lists through Empower’s mobile app on phones or tablets.

Live Production Displays

Large 50”, 65”, or 75” Smart TVs can be mounted in the workshop and office to display:

  • Live job status and staff task assignments

  • Budget vs. actual job times

  • Colour-coded progress indicators (on time, ahead, or late)

  • This level of transparency boosts awareness, accountability, and productivity across the floor.
