You are here:

The Shop Floor interface is primarily driven by barcodes. For this quick guide it’s recommended to identify the data you’d like to explore the system with and print off the appropriate barcodes.

Shop Floor Insight is bundled with several sample reports with barcodes on it. These can be used as-is if desired, or you can contact your Insight Works reseller for advice on customizing reports to include Shop Floor Insight barcodes.

Note: the barcodes in this document will not work in your system, you need to print out your own barcodes in your own system and scan those. Barcodes printed from another system will not work correctly in a different system.
