How it works

Set up your organization and your products once. After that, every shift runs on a work order, and every step on every unit is recorded. The example is Riverbend Pumps, a made-up company that builds one pump on one line.

01

The big picture

Three kinds of record are set up once. A shift turns them into units. Every unit shows up on the screens your supervisors and quality team already watch.

One line, and the records behind it

Stations are places on the line. Operations are steps in making the product. A work instruction belongs to the operation, so moving the rotor build to another bench moves its steps with it.

A shift

Operators scan a badge to start, and the tablet at each station walks them through the published steps.

    The operator scans a badge at the station tablet to start.

    Count it

    A pump that passes leak test counts toward WO-1042 on Today and the line display.

What one unit carries

Each unit record points back to its work order, item, revision, lot and the exact work instruction version it ran. Step executions are written once and never edited.
