Where do issues get routed?

Configured per category per work centre, typically to a team email or a maintenance management system (CMMS). Native connectors exist for the common ones.

Can operators see their own report history?

Yes. A "my reports" tab per operator with status and outcome. Useful for shift handovers.

Is there analytics on the issues?

A simple dashboard: most-flagged machines, most-common categories, trend over time. Pre-built; no configuration.

Shop Floor Execution

uShopFloor

From paper and confusion to clarity on the floor.

Many shop floor environments still rely on paper, disconnected tools or unclear instructions. uShopFloor translates planning into clear, executable tasks designed for gloves, noise and real environments. The interface is intentionally simple, so no training should be needed. Inline quality checks, material consumption, machine status and issue capture all happen on the screen the operator is already using, so planning and execution stay connected.

uShopFloor · Issue Reporting

Problems get logged where they happen.

A single tap to flag a machine issue, a missing part, a quality concern. With voice note. With context attached automatically, including task, time, operator and machine. The issue goes to the right team without leaving the screen.

Voice capture

Voice notes when gloves make typing impossible. Attach automatically with the task and operator context.

Routed to the right team

Machine issues go to maintenance, quality issues to QA and material issues to the warehouse. You set up the routing once, and every report goes where it can be acted on.

Status visible to reporter

The operator who logged it sees its status, from acknowledged and in progress to resolved. Issues stop disappearing into the void.

What you see

The shortest path from problem to fix.

A small issue captured in the moment costs nothing. The same issue captured in a Monday review costs context. uShopFloor makes capture so fast, with a tap, a photo or a 5-second voice note, that operators do it. The maintenance team gets a flow of small early signals, and the big failures become rarer.

Issue-trend analytics: most-flagged machines, most-common causes

uShopfloor order detail screen for a production order, showing a list of six operations with planned versus actual time and output, a side panel timing the running "Productie Voorbereiding" operation with a live stopwatch, and action buttons to add output, add scrap, create an order note, pause, report an error, or mark complete.

When this matters

Signals you'd reach for this.

Issues live in notebooks

A small machine issue noted on paper at 10:00 is forgotten by 15:00. Patterns never emerge.

Big failures have small precursors

A bearing that finally fails was making a noise for two weeks. Captured precursors prevent the big event.

Operators stop reporting

When reports disappear into a void with no feedback, operators stop bothering. Visible status keeps the flow alive.

Maintenance is always reacting

A maintenance team that lives on reactive call-outs has no time for preventive work. Early-signal capture changes the ratio.

Voice notes are stored as recorded, so the responder hears the language the operator speaks. Optional transcription (Azure Cognitive Services) supports the major European languages.
