Each bay has a tech stationed in it. Put a car in a bay and it goes to that bay's tech automatically — you can still hand a single job to someone else from the floor table.

Wall boards and shop tablets must be paired before they can show anything. Open the board or tablet page on the device — it shows a 6-digit code. Enter it here and give the device a name. Revoke a device to cut it off at once.

The wall boards say new work out loud through the TV's speakers — or through a loudspeaker or amplifier plugged into the board's audio. The words also show on screen. Add ?voice=off to a board's address to keep it quiet (e.g. an office TV).

Announce
No sound of your own uploaded.

WAV, MP3, OGG or M4A · up to 10 seconds and 1 MB. Short and sharp works best on a shop floor.

Test

Plays on every board now, even if announcements are off — use it to set the volume.
