Supervise

See the line live. Act from the same screen.

Supervisors open one screen and see every station live. Building, idle, or down. One tap drops a message on a workstation's tablet; one tap approves a mid-build defect flag; one drag re-prioritises the work-order queue. No refresh button, no walk-around, no white-board.

Live supervisor floor

The whole plant on one screen

A green / amber / red status light at every workstation. Green building, amber waiting, red down. Refreshed live as the floor changes. Tap a station to see the operator, the unit they're building, the queue depth, and the last few completed serials. The canvas layout is exactly what engineering designed; supervisors stop translating diagrams.

  • Live status light at every workstation (building / waiting / down)
  • Sub-second updates. No manual refresh, no polling delay
  • Tap any station to see operator, queue, current serial, last completes
  • Same canvas layout engineering designed. No second floor map to maintain

Drag-to-prioritise work orders

Re-sequence the line from a drawer

The work-orders rail (right side of the floor view; phone drawer on mobile) lists every open order on that line in priority order. Drag to reorder; the new sequence persists across every surface. The orders tab, the kiosk pickup screen, the KPI rollups. Supervisors reprioritise on the floor, in the moment.

  • Open orders for the active line, in priority sequence
  • Drag a row to re-prioritise. Atomic RPC re-numbers across the org
  • Same priority field used by the orders queue tab and the kiosk
  • Phone-friendly: slide-in drawer with a tap-handle on the right edge
Supervisor → kiosk messaging

Reach any station in one tap

Need an operator to use a temporary fixture for the next 10 units? Send a one-tap note from the live floor view. It pops on the operator's tablet within seconds and stays pinned until they acknowledge it. No two-way radio, no walk-down.

  • Send from the live floor view. Pick a station, type a note
  • Pops on the operator's tablet within seconds via Realtime
  • Pinned until acknowledged. No missed-message silence
  • Each message timestamped + attributed to the supervisor who sent it
Quality gates at the source

Catch the bad caliper where it happens

Per-step scan validation stops the build before the wrong part goes on the unit. An operator can flag a defect mid-build with a photo; the unit drops into the supervisor approval queue. Approvals are either "ship as-is", "rework", or "scrap". Every decision keeps a tamper-evident record (who, when, reason).

  • Per-step scan validation. Wrong torque tool, wrong rotor, build halts
  • Defect / scrap / variance flagged with a photo from the kiosk
  • Supervisor approval queue with three dispositions + free-text reason
  • Immutable audit trail on every decision (who, when, photo, outcome)
Downtime captured at the source

Stop logging downtime in a notebook

Press the impact gun air-line dropped? The operator hits "Start downtime", picks the reason (admin-configured: equipment, material, labor, planned…), and starts it from the tablet. When it ends, they stop the timer. Insights → KPIs rolls the data into a downtime pareto so engineering sees the same five reasons month over month and can actually fix them.

  • Operator starts/stops downtime from the tablet, one tap
  • Reasons configurable in admin (equipment, material, labor, planned, etc.)
  • Per-station roll-up on the live floor + plant-wide pareto in Insights
  • No more "we lost two shifts but nobody wrote down why"
