CONNECT JobHub
Every Job. Every Machine. Every Step.
Your machines already tell you how they’re running. JobHub tells you how your work is moving.
As jobs travel across your floor — production, cutting, converting, assembly, packaging, shipping — JobHub automatically builds a repository of every one of them and maps each job through every step it takes. Not just the time on each machine, but the time between machines. Not just where a job started, but everywhere it went before it shipped.
The result is a level of visibility most operations have never had: exactly how each job moved through your floor, where it picked up delays, and how well it matched the equipment that ran it.
JobHub is a module of CONNECT and works across every connected machine (or process), regardless of vendor or technology.
Your Challenges
Understand Your Work At The Job Level, Not Just The Machine Level
1. Job-level visibility
Every Job, Traced End to End
Machines, finishers, converters, inserters, mailing and packaging equipment — JobHub follows each job across all of them and automatically builds one complete record.
2. See the Full Path
Every Handoff, Captured Automatically
JobHub traces a job’s full route through your operation — every cost center it touches, every handoff between machines — captured as the job moves. No manual entry, no reconstruction after the fact.
3. Find the drag
Bottlenecks Made Obvious
Run time is only half the story. JobHub calculates processing and wait time between production steps (WIP), exposing the delays that stretch cycle times and quietly eat into capacity.
4. Match Job to Machine
A Better Fit, Job by Job
See which job profiles run cleanest on which equipment — based on how they actually performed, not how they looked on paper. Then route and schedule with real production history behind the decision.
"An order comes in, it moves through a dozen steps before it ships, and most operations only ever see a fraction of that journey. Where did the job sit? Where did it move fast, and where did it stall? JobHub answers that question for you."
Highlights
The Job Map
Every job that runs on a connected machine or passes through a process is captured and added to the JobHub repository.
From there, JobHub builds a map of the job’s route through your operation. As the job moves through production, converting, assembly, packaging, or any other step, the map records how much time and how many resources each step consumed. It shows actual run time on each machine, and it calculates the processing, waiting, and delay time in between.
That in-between time is where most operations discover their real cycle-time problem. A job that spends four hours on machines and eleven hours sitting on the floor is telling you something specific, and JobHub is where you see it.
Whether it’s a short-run order that moves through three cost centers or a high-volume run that touches a dozen, a job that requires a changeover between every batch or one that stages between stations for hours, JobHub traces the full time to completion and pinpoints where the job is spending more time than it should.
Every Job’s Full Timeline
CONNECT already captures the parameters that define how a job ran: duration, setup time and waste, job interruptions, operators, sellable and waste counts, material type, and consumable usage.
JobHub organizes those parameters into one complete job record — job by job, across every device and process from production through finishing, packaging, and shipping.
Drill down into a single job. Combine multiple jobs to see patterns by job type, material type, device, or operator. The comparison between how a job was planned to run and how it actually ran stops being an annual exercise and becomes something you can check any day of the week.
Key Benefits
Job Mix And Equipment Fit
Two jobs that look similar on a quote sheet can behave very differently on a floor. One runs clean on the right device. The other bounces between cost centers, picks up setup waste, and waits on finishing.
JobHub shows you which is which. By analyzing how each job profile performs on specific equipment types, it reveals where your work is well matched to your capacity and where it isn’t — information that improves job flow, cycle time, quality, and routing and scheduling decisions.
Over time, this becomes a scheduling and planning tool as much as an operational one. When you know which types of work run cleanest on your equipment, you can route with confidence and plan the job mix that best fits your floor.
JobHub data is available in the standalone CONNECT system and through CONNECT API 2.0 for integration into your existing MIS or ERP.
