get real-time visibility into every job, person, resource and material
take control of every job on your shop floor
On a busy shop floor, every second counts. Without a clear, live view of production, jobs get stuck, priority orders slip through the cracks and bottlenecks build before anyone notices.
Many manufacturers rely on spreadsheets, paper travelers, or verbal updates to track jobs. This not only wastes valuable time but also leads to:
✘ Jobs falling behind schedule with no warning or escalation
✘ Operators sitting idle, waiting for materials, instructions, or approval
✘ Priorities shifting constantly, with no clear plan or coordination
✘ Delays stacking up, causing late shipments and missed revenue
✘ Managers chasing updates instead of making informed decisions
Quantum connects your entire shop floor operations with live production visibility, automated priority rules, and seamless job tracking. You'll know exactly what's happening, where every job stands, and what needs attention— without chasing paperwork

production control
Manage every job on your shop floor on-time without opening a spreadsheet or tracking down a routing. Control the flow of production with job control, priority rules, and live feedback from the floor. Whether you have one big job or 1,000s all at once, Quantum keeps everything running on time and in order.
With Quantum, supervisors don't waste hours chasing down updates or reporting jobs manually, changes work their way through the system automatically. Production stays aligned with delivery commitments, even when urgent jobs or last-minute changes hit. The result: fewer delays, smoother workflows, and higher on-time delivery rates without overwhelming your supervisors. A piece of mind knowing every job is tracked, controlled, and completed profitably.
digital work instructions
Deliver step-by-step instructions directly to operators, customized by part, shift, or line. Attach videos, images, diagrams, text and alternate instructions. Quantum ensures standardized processes and faster training with dynamic, visual documentation. Instead of relying on outdated paper packets or institutional knowledge, operators always have the most current version of instructions at their fingertips. Updates push instantly to the floor, eliminating confusion, wasted work, and costly rework.
Operators work with greater confidence and accuracy, which reduces scrap, accelerates onboarding, and keeps production consistent across every shift. Quantum transforms training and compliance from a burden into a strength.
process tracking
Manage every step of the processes you are running on your shop floor, whether it's a simple routing, a job packet or a complex set of integrated process steps. With Quantum, your team always knows the status of each order—no spreadsheets, no guesswork. Every handoff, approval, and milestone is tracked in real time. Managers can quickly spot bottlenecks, operators know what's next, and leadership has full visibility into progress and profitability.
That means better visibility, faster problem-solving, and the ability to hit deadlines without relying on manual updates. Quantum ensures nothing gets lost in the shuffle, even on your busiest production days.
product & process setup
Design your products and build the processes to manufacture them from simple job steps to complex, multi-stage routings. Whether you need basic work instructions or detailed engineering-driven workflows, this is where production begins. Setups that once took weeks can be digitized, tested, and launched quickly in Quantum. Your engineering team can define processes once, then scale them seamlessly across parts, job, and lines.
Quantum ensures that every new product launch or process update starts right the first time, cutting down trial-and-error costs and getting you into production faster. Consistency and repeatability becomes built-in, not an afterthought.
quality control
Demand complete compliance with your processes and your audit requirements. Reallocate work automatically or on-demand with the touch of a button. Capture quality checks, specs, and nonconformances as they happen. Quantum helps enforce quality gates and instantly flags issues—before they hit the customer. Because Quantum integrates quality checks directly into production workflows, quality becomes proactive instead of reactive. Issues are flagged early, so teams can respond immediately rather than after defects pile up.
This reduces rework, improves customer satisfaction, and protects your reputation while making audits simple and stress-free. Quantum ensures quality isn't just inspected, it's built into everything you produce.

alerts
Ensure every member of your shop can communicate with the right team(s) without wandering around. Get real-time alerts for production delays, tool expirations, missed scans, and more. Send alerts or just leave notes for future shifts. With Quantum, your team can act fast—before small issues become big problems. Instead of relying on radios, sticky notes, or word-of-mouth, Quantum keeps communication instant, visible, and logged. Operators, supervisors, and leadership all stay aligned without stepping away from their work.
Instant communication means fewer bottlenecks, quicker recoveries, and a more connected shop floor that runs smoothly across every shift. It's like having a built-in notification system for your shop floor.
production insights
Get an immediate view of the work on the shop floor and its progress towards completion. Make your factory smarter with tools from design through automated data capture. Get the data you need when and how you need it with the touch of a button.
