Machine Queue & Equipment Workflow
Run your equipment floor by machine, department, priority, and operator. Batch similar setups together, track production step requirements, and ship jobs faster.

Most shops manage their equipment load on whiteboards or in someone's head. When a Work Order needs the large-format printer, the router, and the flatbed in sequence - and multiple orders are fighting for the same machine - chaos is inevitable. Meet SIGNEXA's Machine Queue brings every piece of equipment into a single, filterable production queue with AI-assisted setup batching to minimize changeover time. Works hand-in-hand with Shop Floor Management and Digital Work Orders.
Every machine and workstation has its own queue. Operators see only what's relevant to their station - in priority order.
AI groups production steps that share the same machine, material, or color profile into batches - minimizing setup and teardown time across the day.
Each job line item can define specific machine requirements - substrate type, equipment name, department. Steps waiting to be queued surface automatically.
The Machine Queue displays all active production steps organized by equipment station. Filter by machine, department, or operator. Drag items to reorder queue priority. Assign specific team members to each step. See which jobs have planned requirements that haven't been queued yet - so work that falls through the cracks becomes visible before a deadline hits.
Running the same substrate through a machine six times in a day when you could batch it into one setup is a real margin leak. Meet SIGNEXA's Production Setup Batch engine analyzes your queue and groups steps by machine, material, and profile - suggesting batches that reduce changeover time. Batches move through Suggested, Planned, and In Progress stages, and each step within the batch is tracked individually.
