Who This Page Is For
This page is written for plant managers, production supervisors, engineers, maintenance leaders, lean and 5S coordinators, safety and compliance leads, and production supervisors who are responsible for how information, travelers, and visual controls are used on the shop floor.
Dakonte Product Group (DPG) works with these roles to identify operational problems and define how workflow can be supported visually using color-coded document controls, facility sign holders, and storage labeling. DPG produces vinyl holders that integrate directly into daily operations, creating visual workflows that are easy to manage across teams and remain consistent across lines, cells, shifts, and facilities.
Color-Coded Visual Controls in Daily Production
DPG heavy-duty vinyl job ticket and sign holders are used at workstations, assembly cells, machining centers, packaging lines, material staging areas, shipping docks, and maintenance zones where documents and visual cues must stay attached to the work and remain readable in production conditions.
In these environments, DPG color-coded products protect and organize job travelers, instructions, prints, inspection sheets, checklists, status indicators, and safety notices. When the same visual color-coding is used consistently, document and part handling becomes part of the defined workflow rather than an informal workaround—supporting repeatability across operators, shifts, departments and facilities.
Solutions for 5S and Visual Workflow Management
Within 5S and visual management systems, DPG’s color-coded and multi-pocket options create visually defined locations for information such as standard work, labels, inspection records, and status indicators. Each color-coded holder establishes where information belongs and how it is presented at the point of use.
When product selection and placement are tied to specific 5S elements—such as assigning certain colors or holder sizes to standard work or inspections—workflow becomes visually repeatable rather than improvised. This allows visual controls to be audited, trained, and sustained consistently across lines, departments, and facilities.
Configuring Products to Match the Workflow
Dakonte Product Group products are made in the U.S. and configured to match how and where information is used, rather than forcing a single mounting or presentation style. Holders can be produced for mounting on equipment, racks, walls, carts, or boards using attachment methods appropriate to the application, including magnetic mounting, self-adhesive, hook-and-loop, mechanical fasteners, or hooks.
Standard and custom configuration options are used to match how documents are viewed in portrait or landscape orientation, how they are accessed and updated during normal work, and the level of protection required in the operating environment.
When color-coding, holder size, and format are defined in standard work or maintenance routines, operators and maintenance staff locate, interpret, and use information the same way in every area. Visual consistency reduces the need for explanation and minimizes reliance on local knowledge.
Supporting attachment methods—such as magnetic mounting where documents need to move with the work—allow information to remain visible as products or assemblies progress through production, without changing how the information is presented or handled.
Together, these practices reduce variation, prevent informal handling rules from developing over time, and support continuity in how information is managed across lines, departments, shifts, and facilities.
Durability and Environmental Considerations
In day-to-day plant environments, document holders are exposed to dust, oils, coolants, vibration, handling by operators, and routine filing or document changes. How well they perform depends less on generic durability claims and more on selecting product types, materials, and mounting options that reflect the actual conditions around each work area, machine, line, or transfer point.
With DPG’s product knowledge applied during selection, operations teams can set realistic expectations for how products will be handled, stored, reused, and cleaned over time. This helps avoid premature wear and reduces the cycle of replacing products that were never suited to the conditions in the first place.
Supporting Implementation at the Plant Level
Products can be ordered directly online with or without a customer account, or through purchase orders when required by internal systems. Net 30 terms are available to support coordination with corporate purchasing or finance teams without slowing implementation at the plant level.
For evaluation and rollout, operations teams can request samples, review configuration options, or adjust standard products to better fit their application. Because products are manufactured domestically, configurations can be produced in practical quantities—whether validating a solution with small pilot runs or scaling standardization across lines or facilities.
This approach allows teams to test, refine, and deploy visual controls in a controlled way, supporting both local problem-solving and broader standardization efforts without waiting on long lead times or large minimum orders.
Next Steps for Evaluation and Implementation
Operations teams typically move forward by validating fit at the point of use before broader rollout. Dakonte Product Group supports several paths depending on where a team is in that process.
Teams evaluating document holders and visual controls can review application-specific product families, request samples, or confirm configuration options aligned to their 5S and visual management standards.
For teams ready to standardize, product selections can be applied consistently across lines, departments, or facilities, with ordering structured to align with existing purchasing and approval processes.
Additional application details and configuration examples are available through Dakonte Product Group’s operating brands, including TIE Office-Mates, which focuses on industrial document holders and visual workflow products used in production environments.
