Prod-i Factory Kiosk

The Prod-i Kiosk App is a shop-floor-ready digital solution designed to simplify operator check-in, JobCard selection, and real-time production data entry in manufacturing environments. It acts as a workstation-level interface that allows machine operators to authenticate themselves using facial biometric verification, select assigned JobCards, and log production activities directly from the shop floor with speed and accuracy.

In many manufacturing setups, production data is still recorded using paper registers, Excel sheets, or manual supervisor inputs at the end of shifts. These methods often result in delayed reporting, inaccurate entries, incorrect operator mapping, and limited visibility into actual shop-floor performance. The Prod-i Kiosk App addresses these challenges by enabling operators to capture production data in real time, directly at the source, ensuring higher accuracy, accountability, and transparency.

Once authenticated, operators can view and select relevant JobCards linked to their machine, shift, or assigned tasks. Each JobCard represents a specific production activity associated with a work order and operation. By selecting the correct JobCard, operators ensure that all production entries are mapped accurately, enabling precise work order tracking and execution.

The app allows operators to record key production parameters such as good quantity, rejected quantity, rework, scrap, downtime reasons, and remarks. Predefined options and a simple, touch-friendly interface make data entry quick and efficient, reducing dependency on supervisors and minimizing manual errors. Every entry is linked to the operator, machine, shift, JobCard, and timestamp, creating a reliable and structured digital production record.

Facial biometric authentication is a core feature of the app, ensuring that only authorized operators can log production data. This eliminates proxy attendance, improves operator accountability, and ensures that production data is always attributed to the correct individual. It also enables tracking of operator activity across shifts, machines, and JobCards, providing a complete and accurate work history.

The Prod-i Kiosk App delivers real-time visibility into shop-floor operations. Supervisors and managers can monitor active JobCards, machine status, operator availability, production progress, and downtime events without waiting for end-of-shift reports. This enables faster decision-making, quicker issue resolution, and improved control over daily production activities.

The app also supports detailed downtime tracking by allowing operators to select predefined reasons such as machine breakdown, tool change, material shortage, maintenance, or quality issues. This structured data helps organizations perform root cause analysis and reduce production losses. Additionally, quality-related data such as rejection and rework can be captured to support continuous improvement initiatives.

By digitizing shop-floor operations, the Prod-i Kiosk App enhances production traceability, improves operator efficiency analysis, and enables accurate OEE calculation. It also supports shift-wise, machine-wise, and operator-wise performance monitoring, helping management identify bottlenecks and optimize resource utilization.

The Prod-i Kiosk App integrates seamlessly with IoT-based systems and analytics platforms, combining machine-level signals with operator-level inputs for a complete production monitoring solution. It provides a scalable and practical approach for manufacturers looking to transition from manual processes to data-driven operations. Overall, the Prod-i Kiosk App empowers operators, supports supervisors, and provides management with reliable production insights, helping organizations improve productivity, transparency, and operational efficiency across the shop floor.
