Problem
Factories rely on scattered tools, manual logs, and outdated dashboards. Users juggle between screens to understand machine health, task assignments, downtime reasons, and shift performance.

Operator Task
Operator Task
The operator task screen shows a clear list of assigned tasks such as inspections, machine checks, or routine maintenance steps. Each task includes priority, due time, and the machine it belongs to, helping operators stay organized. Simple actions like “Start,” “Mark Complete,” or “Add Notes” keep workflows smooth and trackable. This screen ensures operators always know what to do next and reduces delays on the factory floor.
