Track every shop-floor traveler in one status board

In short

How do I track the status of every shop-floor traveler in one place?

WebRun tracks your shop-floor travelers every hour. It opens Steelhead, reads each digital traveler's current process step and time in step, then posts your team a live Slack board grouped by step with the jobs sitting too long flagged first, so a stalled traveler gets noticed and chased before it quietly slips.

  • Stalled travelers get flagged within the hour, not at end of shift
  • One live board replaces walking the floor to check status
  • Every open job is grouped by step so the queue is visible at a glance

Questions, answered

Does it move or change any travelers in Steelhead?

No. WebRun only reads your travelers and posts a Slack board. It never advances a step, edits a work order, or touches the record. The floor still drives every move.

How does it know a job is stalled?

It compares each traveler's time in its current step against the expected dwell time you set, and flags anything sitting longer so a lead can chase it.

Can it run more than once a day?

Yes. It is set to run every hour during shop hours, so the board stays live, but you can dial the cadence up or down to match your pace.

Put this on autopilot.
