Taktclock gives plant managers, CI engineers, and line managers a live view of takt pacing, schedule adherence, and operator utilization — without a months-long MES implementation.

Most production floors run on intuition, walk-arounds, and end-of-shift reports. By the time a manager knows a job is late, there is no time left to fix it.
Operators do not know if they are on pace. Supervisors walk the floor to find out status. CI engineers rebuild takt studies from stale time data. Production managers spend hours building reports that describe the past, not the present.
| Without Taktclock | With Taktclock | |
|---|---|---|
| Floor status update | End-of-shift report | Live, every 30s |
| Operator pacing signal | None — manual check | Countdown timer on screen |
| Late job detection | After the fact | Red flag, real time |
| Yamazumi chart | Excel, quarterly update | Live from active sessions |
| Schedule adherence | Manual count | Auto-calculated KPIs |
| Reporting time/week | 2–4 hours | Minutes |
A plant manager's job is to know — before the shift ends — whether production is on track. Taktclock replaces the floor walk with a live dashboard: area by area, green or red, updated every 30 seconds.
When a line goes red, you see it. Not at the debrief. Now.
Taktclock puts a live elapsed-time counter in front of every operator — green while they are within time and red the moment they exceed it.
Continuous improvement only works when the data reflects what is actually happening on the floor. Taktclock captures live session data and feeds it directly into a Yamazumi view.
TaktClock works out of the box with manual entry — and adds ERP read integration when you're ready. Pull standard hours, MO data, and routing directly from your existing system.
TaktClock runs entirely on your local Windows network. We do not own your data, we do not store your data, and we do not transmit your data to any external server. All production records, operator activity, and MO history live in a database on your own infrastructure — behind your own firewall. There is no cloud dependency and no vendor lock-in.
No per-seat fees. No per-station pricing. A single site license covers every operator, every area, and every screen in your facility.
No slide deck. No capabilities overview. No proposal before you have seen it work. Just a live screen share of the actual product.
