Industries Manufacturing and shifts

The handover belongs in the system.

What is only passed on verbally cannot be traced the next day. I build shift books in which faults, maintenance, tasks and handover come together, so the next shift picks up where the last one stopped.

Typical situations

When a conversation makes sense.

Handover in passing

The shift hands over on the way out. What happened on the line at three in the morning is known only to whoever was there.

Faults without history

A fault is fixed and forgotten. Nobody notices it was the fourth time this week.

Maintenance in one person's calendar

Maintenance intervals sit in a personal list. When that person is away, so is the maintenance.

Photos in the messenger

Pictures of damage end up in chat groups and cannot be found two weeks later.

Building blocks

What I build for it

01

Shift book

Faults, maintenance, reports, tasks and photos in one timeline per shift and line.

02

Shift handover

Open items are handed explicitly to the next shift and stay open until someone closes them.

03

One clock for the production day

Shift start is set centrally, so every station posts to the same day.

04

Usable on a phone

Entries with photos right at the machine, without a detour to the office PC.
