MAPS application for rounds factory

Are you certain that rounds are being conducted at your production plant? Introducing this process and supervising its implementation is not an easy task, especially when employees have to inspect numerous checkpoints on a daily basis. Therefore, it is crucial that the registration process is not burdensome.  Our MAPS solution for rounds ensures this comfort. It is a tool in which you can track the completion of planned rounds. All data is uploaded to our cloud and ready for download in Power BI.Another valuable feature of the solution is the ability to report any irregularities during rounds by capturing photographs and adding notes.

System

How does it works?

The MAPS solution for rounds is comprised of a smartphone application and a cloud storage system. An employee uses the smartphone application to guide them through each checkpoint in a step-by-step manner. Alternatively, registration can be done using the MAPS sensor. The employee scans the QR code or RFID card assigned to the location to check in. Once checked in, the employee performs the assigned activities and marks them as completed on a checklist. If any irregularities are identified, the employee can capture photographs or record voice memos, and all the data is automatically transmitted to the cloud. Data for analysis in Power BI can be downloaded from the cloud for convenient analysis. This information facilitates quick and effective execution of corrective and preventive actions.
