Unified workspace

Operators execute tasks, log downtime, and manage batches from one streamlined interface.

Real-time clarity

Real-time insights, visual alerts, and progress bars help operators stay aware of what’s happening and what’s next.

Fast adoption

With an intuitive UI, new team members get up to speed faster, lowering training time and increasing productivity.

“We know our data isn’t reliable if more than 4% of stops go unregistered. Operator View makes stop registration so simple that staying under that threshold is actually realistic.”

Log it and move on

Stops are logged in the flow of work. Operators see the stop, tap the reason, and they’re done. No hunting for pages or codes, operators stay focused on the line and your downtime picture stays true.

Adjust to match reality

Automatically detected stops aren’t fixed in stone. Operators can reclassify, split or merge events, add notes, and correct durations so the timeline reflects what really happened on the line.

Full control of every batch

Help your operators stay on top of batches. With Operator View, your team can track batch progress at a glance, start the next run, or create a new batch without leaving the screen.

Stay on top of every activity

Quality checks, SOPs, and other activities appear in the flow of work with clear, guided steps. Operators know what’s due now and what’s next, reducing scrap, rework, and avoidable downtime.

Standardize downtime reporting

Use shared stop categories and required fields to structure downtime the same way across lines and sites. Reliable downtime data informs OEE automatically, so you can measure the true impact of disruptions on efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will operators still need expertise?

Yes. But the view presents the right info at the right time, reducing cognitive load throughout the shift and improving outcomes.

What about Andon and support?

Operators can request help immediately from the Operator View interface.

Does Operator View support ERP-driven batches?

Can operators see everything they need without switching views with Operator View?

Yes. Status, tasks, batch progress, and support are combined in one view to reduce context switching. 

How does Operator View reduce change-management friction?

Operator View’s simple interface removes clutter and combines operator-only actions in one place, which lowers the learning curve and speeds up adoption.
