Live Operator Visibility During Changeovers

Your changeover is already running long. You'll find out when it's over.

Operators, maintenance, QA — sequenced against a clock the whole schedule depends on. Most plants run that window on paper and gut feel. Problems surface after the fact.

A live shared task board for the shift — and a real-time view of where things stand, which role is delayed, and by how much. Before the moment passes.

What most changeovers actually look like

A paper sheet, a folder, or a verbal handoff. Roles work their steps. The supervisor walks the line or waits for a call. Total time lands on a whiteboard or spreadsheet.

If it ran long: "Does anyone know what happened?" Sometimes there's an answer. Next week looks the same — nothing was captured at step level.

The problem isn't effort. It's resolution.

Data to confirm and act on it

The cost isn't one moment. It compounds.

Blind spots hit during the run, after it, and week over week — each with a different cost.

1
During the run

It's 09:52. Started 09:00. Standard is 45 minutes.

Seven minutes over and nobody told you. The window to act already closed.

2
After the run

61 minutes finished. Standard is 45.

You know you're over. Not which step, which role, or if it happened before. Debrief is memory — nothing changes.

3
Week over week

Shift A averages 19 min. Shift B averages 41.

22 minutes lost every Shift B changeover. Without step-level data, you can't show the director where — so the gap stays.

While you're waiting for someone to walk over, it's already flagged.

When a changeover starts, a shared board opens for the shift. Each task shows its owner role and updates live. Floor teams drop the paper sheet; supervisors drop the walk-the-line check. Over standard? Flagged the moment it diverges.

Standards problem or execution problem?

Role-level timestamps answer it from data, not interviews. Maintenance long across every shift → standard is underspecified. Only Shift B → different problem. You need attribution to tell them apart.

After the run: a timeline, not a debrief.

Every step was timestamped and role-attributed during the run. You review a Gantt — which task ran long, who owned it, vs. standard and prior runs — instead of reconstructing from memory.

"Mould swap: 18 min vs 10 — Maintenance long on 6 of last 8." Different conversation than "does anyone know why we ran long?"

Per-run timelines feed post-run analytics — multi-run trends across shifts, lines, and changeover types.
