Enhancing Operational Efficiency with a Real-Time Dashboard
Discover how a custom Node.js application transformed shop floor visibility by providing a live-updating dashboard, improving operational efficiency and data accessibility.
The Problem
There was a need for a real-time, internally hosted dashboard to display data from various apps on the shop floor in a clear and continuously updating manner.
The Solution
We developed a Node.js application using Express, integrated with a secure webhook via Tailscale, to efficiently receive notifications from Tape. This approach eliminated unnecessary polling by triggering an API call only when a relevant record was changed, ensuring the dashboard was always up-to-date with the latest information.
The Result
The implementation successfully provided a live-updating dashboard, enhancing visibility and accessibility of crucial data on the shop floor, thereby improving operational efficiency.
