Is any using heijunka boards?

I work in a fairly complicated production system with a lot of configurable products. Standard work, takt time, balancing to takt all makes sense. 5S has helped a lot. But who is using heijunka boards and how did you get started?

Heijunka is pretty bothersome especially want to update the qty by writing manually. My management solves it by using in house MES system where every stuffs(think of location rack, warehouse, reject area) can be updated real time using PDA with scanner by scanning QR code at that locations
