Production reporting: from paper to automatic
Three ways to report production
On paper
Sheet at the machine
Cheap, but arrives late, depends on memory and still has to be typed in.
Digital on a tablet
Right away
Information goes in right away, but quantity and time still depend on the person.
Automatic with a sensor
No typing
Count and time come from the machine. The person only explains the stop, setup and scrap.
Common mistakes in manual reporting
Quantity rounded at the end of the shift.
Short stops that nobody writes down.
Start and end times estimated from memory.
Scrap mixed with good parts.
Data entry delayed to the next day.
Reports corrected without knowing by whom.
Reporting at Mestti
The sensor counts parts or cycles and records when the machine stops and restarts.
On the tablet, the operator sees the day’s queue and starts and finishes the operation.
Stop reasons, setup, scrap and rework are recorded during the shift, in a few taps.
Stops without a reason stay visible until someone explains them. Manual adjustments keep the name of who changed them and the original record never changes.
Android tablet app, with automatic updates.
Questions about reporting
Will my operators feel watched?
The sensor counts parts and sees whether the machine is running or stopped. It doesn’t watch people. Whoever was at the machine gives the reason for the stop, under their own name.
Does it work on machines without a sensor?
Yes. Manual reporting on the tablet remains available for machines without a sensor and for adjustments.
What if the operator forgets the stop reason?
The stop stays recorded with start and end, and is flagged as unexplained until someone explains it.
Do I need a computer at each machine?
No. Reporting is done on an Android tablet, with the Mestti app.
Can a report be corrected?
Yes. The correction is recorded with the name of who changed it and the original record is preserved.
