Every kiln charge, on one board.
A live board for every kiln in the yard, built to sit on a wall and run unattended.
Kiln scheduling usually lives in several places at once: a whiteboard by the kiln doors, a spreadsheet in the office, and someone's memory of which charge comes out first. The board pulls all of that into one view, so whoever is running the yard can see what is in each kiln, when it comes out, and what has room before the next load is set.
Every charge is entered once, in the records the office already keeps. The board reads those records directly, so the wall screen, the office, and the floor all see the same numbers. Each column is labeled with its charge and the thickness it was loaded at, and the in and out dates come from the schedule rather than from anyone's memory.
It is built to run without an operator. The display moves through each kiln on its own, pauses when someone points at it, and carries on when they step away. A crew can glance at it between jobs and know the state of the yard without asking anyone.
One column per kiln, with the charge, its thickness, and the in and out dates.
