Shiftconnector® Collaboration

Improve Productivity by Enhancing Collaboration with Shiftconnector® Intelligent Operations Platform

In industrial operations, most incidents occur due to breakdowns in the information chain. Shiftconnector® Collaboration as part of our Intelligent Operations Platform solves this challenge by enabling seamless communication across all departments. It overcomes silos and ensures efficient, 24/7 information sharing, providing a single source of truth that connects workers at all levels while managing supporting production tasks. Key use cases for this solution include:

Shift Handover & Daily Production Meeting

Shiftconnector® captures and prioritizes critical information, ensuring that key information is handed over effectively during shift handovers and daily production meetings. The platform facilitates the seamless transfer of responsibility, with the succeeding shift documenting their acknowledgment of relevant information through FDA Part 11-compliant electronic signatures, ensuring regulatory compliance and full auditability.

During the daily production meeting, all escalations and deviations are highlighted, enabling quick issue resolution and real-time, data-driven decisions. This leads to improved operational efficiency, fewer incidents, and a more responsive production environment.

Event Driven Task Management

Shiftconnector® enables the creation of tasks directly from events, allowing for a seamless transition from incident to action. Tasks can be scheduled and viewed in daily, weekly, or monthly formats, automatically adjusting to display the appropriate level of detail for effective management. Operators and equipment can be linked to tasks, ensuring clear responsibility and accountability. This facilitates optimized task distribution at the beginning of shifts, better capacity planning, and prevention of conflicting dependencies, leading to faster execution and higher productivity.

Plant Status Overview

The Plant Status Overview in Shiftconnector® gives operators and shift leads a real-time view of the status of all key resources, based on human input or directly connected to Level 1 sensor data.
Linked with related information in Shiftconnector, this ensures providing up-to-date, actionable insights, to add value by improving communication and enhancing overall productivity.
