# Dashboard signals: visualize stops and critical statuses in real time
[*written by* Sarah Hammoum on November 10, 2026](https://www.jitbase.com/blog/author/sarah-hammoum)
## Context
In a CNC machining shop, supervisors and shop floor managers must monitor multiple machines simultaneously. When everything is running normally, production cycles continue uninterrupted. However, when a machine stops or experiences an interruption (e.g., a feed hold, a program stop, or an unavailable status), every minute counts.
Without a clear, immediate visual indicator on the main dashboard, an unexpected stoppage can go unnoticed for tens of minutes. Operators and team leaders waste time manually checking the status of each machine, leading to production delays and increased unplanned downtime.
## **Why This New Feature?**
On the shop floor, two types of events can create hidden bottlenecks:
1. **Prolonged inactivity during production:** A machine that is expected to be producing remains idle for no apparent reason.
2. **Specific CNC execution codes:** Machine states sent directly by the CNC controller, such as FEED\_HOLD, PROGRAM\_STOPPED, or UNAVAILABLE.
Until now, distinguishing a normal stoppage (a planned pause or setup) from a critical interruption required investigating the machine's status on the shop floor or digging through historical data.
That's why we introduced **Dashboard Signals**. Our goal is to transform raw machine data into **intelligent, customizable visual alerts that enable immediate action**.
**
*Execution signal (M00) during a program stop (PROGRAM\_STOPPED)*
### **Your Operational Benefits**
Implementing Dashboard Signals delivers significant operational benefits for your shop floor:
- **Immediate, centralized visibility:** Identify machines requiring urgent attention at a glance on your shop floor display.
- **Dramatically reduced response times:** Enable operators and supervisors to react within seconds of a signal appearing.
- **Reduced alert fatigue:** By targeting alerts to specific functional modes (e.g., triggering an alert only when a machine is in *Production* mode), you avoid false alarms and receive only relevant signals.
- **Full customization:** Configure time thresholds, signal names, and colors to match your internal processes (Production, Setup, Maintenance, Idle).
- **Reduced downtime:** Maximize machine utilization and improve overall team efficiency.
*“Execution signals are very useful for visualizing production interruptions in real time, allowing us to react much faster.”*
— **Arnaud Bouet**, Wipro Lauak France
### **How It Works: Real-World Examples**
This feature includes two complementary types of signals:
#### **A. Inactivity Signals**
- **The problem:** A CNC machine is in *Production* functional mode but has remained idle for more than 15 minutes.
- **The JITbase solution:** Configure a rule that triggers a red visual signal whenever a machine in *Production* mode exceeds the 15-minute inactivity threshold.
- **The result:** The signal is triggered **only** when the machine is expected to be producing, preventing unnecessary alerts during maintenance or planned setup periods.
#### **B. Execution Signals**
- **The problem:** A machine encounters a technical event reported directly by the CNC controller (e.g., the operator presses FEED\_HOLD or the program stops with the PROGRAM\_STOPPED status).
- **The JITbase solution:** Assign a custom name and color to each machine status code received.
- **The result:** As soon as the FEED\_HOLD code is received, the signal instantly appears on the JITbase dashboard with its designated name and color, allowing the team leader to address the issue without manually investigating the machine's status.

Coming soon in english.
### **Coming Soon**
Our team continues to enhance real-time alert management to provide even greater visibility into your operations. Here are the upcoming improvements coming to your dashboard:
- **Feed and Speed Overrides:** Instantly detect manually applied changes to the CNC's feed rate (*Feed Override*) or spindle speed (*Speed Override*), helping you identify when machines are running below their theoretical production rates.
- **Machine Alarms:** View alarm codes and error messages sent directly by the CNC controller in real time on your dashboard, enabling maintenance teams to respond more quickly.
