Key Features
- Task Management: Operators and line managers can author and manage tasks without needing extensive technical skills.
- Centralized Process Management: Reduces reliance on paperwork and additional tools.
- Task Customization: Create tailored task sets for specific factory scenarios.
- Performance Tracking: Analyze execution insights and track task durations to compare actual performance against planned timelines.
- User Roles: Operators perform tasks while equipment owners ensure optimal operation and maintenance of machinery.
Key Outcomes
The IGT application allows for:
- Development of standards from templates applicable to various manufacturing situations.
- Guided execution of planned work for increased efficiency.
- Access to embedded shop floor insights for performance analysis.
- Use of execution analytics to identify gaps and monitor task completion.
- Automatic tracking of task duration to measure efficiency and adherence to schedules.
Additionally, scoring functionality calculates performance scores post-task completion, providing further insights into operational effectiveness.
Manage your industrial guided task (IGT) standards with Industrial Guided Tasks.
Industrial Guided Tasks overview
Industrial Guided Tasks (IGT) are designed to streamline and improve operational efficiency across the shop floor. These tasks offer step-by-step guidance to operators and cover a wide array of use cases, from equipment management to shop floor inspections. By integrating guided instructions, Industrial Guided Tasks enable accurate execution and help standardize processes.
- Author and manage their own tasks without extensive technical knowledge
- Centralize process management by removing paperwork and additional applications and tools
- Create sets of tasks that are tailored to a specific factory use case
- Standardize the execution of work processes
- Schedule tasks
- Assign tasks only to workers who meet the specified criteria
- Analyze execution insights directly from an industrial standard record to drive continuous improvement
- Track the actual duration of task execution on both the Digital Factory Workspace and Industrial Connected Workforce Mobile Experience (ICW) mobile to compare actual performance against planned timelines
Industrial Guided Tasks users
| User | Description |
|---|---|
| Operator | Operators perform tasks or standards that are planned for their line or equipment. They might also request a standard when needed. |
| Equipment owner | Equipment owners can be operators. They’re responsible for running their equipment in the most optimal conditions and maintaining manufacturing standards. |
Industrial Guided Tasks benefits
- Develop standards from templates that apply to various manufacturing use cases, such as cleaning instructions, equipment inspections, and workplace ordering.
- Provides a guided experience so that you can effectively and efficiently execute the planned work.
- When you create and save standards, you can view, request, or copy them in the Standards hub.
- When you attach a knowledge article to an IGT standard, the related article is available for every task created from that standard via the Recommendations sidebar.
- View embedded shopfloor insights on every published standard record to analyze execution performance across shifts, lines, and versions.
- Use execution analytics to identify performance gaps, track completion rates, and monitor follow-up actions and deviations.
- Compare execution results across standard versions to measure the impact of improvements to the standard.
- Automatically track actual task execution duration on both the Digital Factory Workspace and ICW mobile to measure the percentage of tasks closed in time and compare actual versus planned performance.
