Production workflow automation
Manufacturing automation modules that fit the way you work.
Start with the hand-off causing the most rework. Add the next workflow when your team is ready.
Digital job cards
Give operators clear work instructions and capture progress without chasing paper travellers.
Live scheduling
See machine capacity, move work with drag-and-drop planning, and flag a late operation early.
Machine data capture
Record cycle time, downtime and output through sensors or simple manual updates on the shop floor.
Quality control
Log checks, defects and non-conformance against the job, so corrective action has a clear owner.
Dispatch tracking
Keep packing, delivery dates and customer updates tied to the same production record.
Shop-floor systems integration
Your office and factory should share the same facts.
Morgan & Meredith connects your existing tools rather than asking you to replace everything at once. Production scheduling automation becomes useful when sales, purchasing and operators see the same job status.

A practical result for a Welsh manufacturer
Metal fabricator cuts lead times by 35%.
Quotations were sitting in email threads, while supervisors had no reliable view of work in progress. We connected the quote-to-production workflow, added tablet-based job updates and gave the office a live order board.
The team found stalled work earlier and customers received clearer delivery updates.

Straight answers
Manufacturing automation FAQs
Good systems fit the factory you have, including its existing software and working habits.
Can you integrate with our existing estimating software?
Yes. We review the available data and connection options, then pass approved quote details into production without forcing a wholesale replacement.
Will operators find the system easy to use?
The shop-floor screen focuses on the next action: start, pause, complete, report a problem or request help. We test it with operators during the pilot.
How does job tracking work without barcode scanners?
Operators can use a tablet or workstation to select the job and operation. Barcode scanning can be added when it makes sense for your process.
Can we track machine downtime?
Yes. Downtime can be recorded manually or brought in from suitable machine data sources, with reason codes and alerts for supervisors.
What about data security on the shop floor?
We define user access, device rules and data flows with your team. The design can keep sensitive office information away from screens that only need production instructions.
