Hello community, we are a machine builder using Creo and Windchill for our designs. Currently we are working on plan to reduce paper on the shop floor. The plan is to use PDF's of drawings and CreoView (3D) to build the machines (currently we only have PDF's and a low number of accesspoints). Our focus is currently more on the "hardware" implementation and we would be interested knowing what others did on the shop floor. Our thoughts are going into the direction: - "stable working table" or "movable working table" with Computer on it. - Battery or Wired connected? - Screen sizes? Hope you can share some of your best practices with us. I appreciate any feedback. Regards, Marc

We have switched to "paperless production" in the end of 2014, so a little over 3 years now.

 

The majority of our working tables are mobile, but they are placed at "fixed" locations on our shop floor. If we every want to re-route our shop floor, we can easily move our working tables to a different location. The working tables are all wired (power and network), to provide the most stable setup.

 

We have "single" and "double" working tables. Most "double" working tables are equipped with two screens. As for screensizes, believe we are using 21" screens.

 

We are using the working tables to view PDFs and ProductView files, amongst others.

We are using ipads to view pdfs.  Everything is wireless and easy to move around.  

 

The only downside is the screen size, you will need to do lots of resizing and zooming to make things large enough to visualize.
