Public displays

Live line status and performance, put on a screen where people can see it. Public displays give management and supervisors the floor's current state at a glance, without signing into anything.

What they are

A public display is a read-only, always-on view of a line or a site's live performance, shown on a screen in a relevant area of the facility. Unlike the operator terminal, which the operator works at the line, a public display is for visibility only: nobody classifies a stop or starts a job from it. It's the same measured numbers as the reports, surfaced for the people walking the floor rather than reading a dashboard.

What they show

Current line status and the performance that matters at a glance: whether a line is running or stopped, how it's tracking against target, and the shift's headline numbers. Because it's for non-operator visibility, it's pitched at management and supervisors, the question it answers is "how is the floor running right now?", not "what do I do about this stop?"

Where they sit

In the areas where that visibility is useful: over a line, in a supervisor's office, at a plant entrance or in a meeting room. They draw the same live data the rest of the platform does, so what a manager sees on the wall reconciles with what the reports show, down to the same events.
