StokeForge Production

Your shop floor, live —
on every screen.

Physical status boards are frozen the moment you walk away from them. StokeForge Production™ gives your entire team a live digital board — with drag-and-drop pins, integrated machine scheduling, and real-time sync across every monitor on the floor.

"I first tried to manage production in my head, then a whiteboard, then a full-blown ERP. My stress went through the roof and I knew I needed a better, more visual way that everyone on the team could see and interact with. StokeForge Production is the tool I wished I had from the very beginning."
Jay Pierson Jay Pierson — Founder, StokeForge

audit trail on every action

The hard way

  • Schedule lives in the foreman's head — or a whiteboard only one room can see
  • Shared spreadsheet updated manually, always stale by the time it matters
  • No data, no history, no way to spot patterns or improve
  • One missed update and the whole team is flying blind
  • Customers call to ask where their job is — because they have no other way to know

With StokeForge Production

  • Visual big-picture scope — every job, every step, on a live system
  • Distributed knowledge — any screen, anywhere in the building, always current
  • Customer portal — customers see their job status directly, no phone tag
  • Complete data trail — every move logged with user, timestamp, and notes
  • Strategy grounded in real production history, not memory or gut feel

How It Works

Four steps. Total shop floor clarity.

From the moment a pin moves to the moment a job is complete — every action tracked, every screen updated, every teammate notified.

01

Step 01

Move the Pin

Drag a component's pin from one process step to the next. Every connected screen on your shop floor updates in real time — no refresh, no calls across the building.

02

Step 02

Schedule the Machine

Moving a pin to a machine operation automatically opens the 2-week scheduling calendar. Click a machine and day to place the job, then advance to the next operation without closing the modal.

03

Step 03

Coordinate the Team

Add timestamped notes to any pin or scheduled job. @mention a teammate and they receive an instant notification linked directly to that component.

04

Step 04

Complete and Advance

Mark a scheduled job complete on the calendar and the pin advances to the next process step automatically. Every action is logged with user and timestamp — permanently.

Live Status Board

Every component. Every process step. Every screen — at once.

Move a pin and your machine calendar opens. Schedule all operations without switching tools. Mark a job complete and the pin advances automatically.

  • Drag-and-drop pins through any number of process steps
  • Between-step positioning for in-limbo components
  • Black, green, and red pins for batch and priority tracking
  • Collapsible component groups for large production runs
  • Inline notes with timestamps and @mention support

What Makes It Different

Built to replace the board on your wall — or the spreadsheet nobody sees.

Most shop floor systems are expensive, complex, and built for factories ten times your size. This one wasn't.

Real-Time Sync

Server-sent events keep every screen on the floor in sync. No manual refresh. No stale boards. Changes appear on every connected display within seconds.

Integrated Scheduling

Moving a pin triggers the machine calendar. One interaction to advance the component and book all downstream machine operations — no separate spreadsheet.

@Mentions & Auto-Alerts

Tag a teammate in any pin note. Set automatic alerts when a component enters a specific process step. Notifications link directly to the pin or job.

Machine Downtime Tracking

Log machine unavailability directly on the calendar — maintenance, service, or unexpected downtime. The whole team sees it immediately. Rescheduling is instant.

Flexible Process Steps

Define your own process columns, machine groups, and component sections. Built to match your shop floor — not the other way around.

Multi-Panel Dashboard

Open up to three status boards plus the machine calendar simultaneously. Ideal for large shop floor monitors or dedicated display screens in the office.

FAQ

Common questions about StokeForge Production

Do all screens update automatically?
Yes. Real-time sync via server-sent events means every connected screen sees changes within seconds — no refresh needed.
Can we define our own process steps?
Yes. Admins create, rename, and reorder process columns to match your exact workflow. Machine groups and component sections are also fully configurable.
What if a machine breaks down?
Log downtime directly on the calendar with a category (Maintenance, Service, Unavailable). The team sees it immediately and can reschedule affected jobs.
Can a user undo a pin move?
Yes. Each session has an undo/redo stack. Undo reverses the last pin move and removes it from the history log. Clears on page reload.
Does it work on tablets?
Yes. Designed for shop floor tablet use with large touch targets and a dark-mode-first interface optimized for floor lighting conditions.
Can we view multiple boards at once?
Yes. The multi-panel dashboard lets you open up to three status boards plus the machine calendar simultaneously — ideal for large shop floor monitors.

Bring your shop floor into the 21st century.

If your status board is a whiteboard, a magnetic strip board, or a spreadsheet nobody updates — it's time.
