Food manufacturers and pharmaceutical facilities across the US continue to place strong emphasis on hygiene, contamination prevention and consistent process control. As teams work to maintain their standards across multiple shifts, many organisations are increasing their use of visual controls to reinforce daily expectations.
Visual elements such as status indicators, colour coding, process prompts and area-specific instructions help teams understand what needs attention at each stage of production. These tools support routine hygiene activities by making it clear when equipment has been checked, when sanitation tasks are due and where items must be stored.
Facilities report that visual controls can help reduce the likelihood of missed steps and improve communication between teams, especially in environments where tasks must be completed precisely and consistently. When indicators clearly show whether an area is ready for use, undergoing cleaning, awaiting inspection or temporarily out of service, it becomes easier for staff to make the right decisions quickly.
In fast-paced production environments where hygiene and accuracy are essential, visual controls provide a straightforward way to reinforce expectations, strengthen accountability and maintain a clear, organised workspace.

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
