What this is
Some stations are now connected to machines — using live data from the machine itself. That means your actions (like check-in or check-out) may be tracked automatically, and the system can show what the machine is doing in real-time.
🟢 When do I check in?
At the beginning of work on a machine:
Scan your work order
If needed, scan your part or serial
The system starts a session on the machine
(you’ll see it marked as “checked in”)
Sometimes, the system will check in automatically if the machine starts working and you’ve scanned.
🔴 When do I check out?
At the end of your job on that machine:
Press Check-Out
Or scan the item and select Finish
This closes the session and tells the system:
How much you finished
What machine it was on
How long it took
⚙️ What happens behind the scenes?
The system reads machine status (e.g. "Running", "Idle")
It knows when the machine is active, and how much was processed
It may open a form or log a report when the machine finishes
You don’t need to do anything special — just work as usual and follow your flow.
👀 Where can I see it?
Your current session will be visible in the Work Order screen
The machine status is shown as a small label (e.g. 🟢 Running)
Some stations may auto-update when the machine changes status
✅ Tips for Operators
Always scan your work order first
If your machine is connected, watch the status icon
If you’re asked to split quantity — just enter how many you’re doing
If something looks wrong (e.g. machine is off but says “Running”), let your supervisor know
