Today, a status report comes from four systems and a morning round of phone calls.

Machine allocation sits in the MES, free stock in the ERP, order progress in a list kept by production planning, and the night's events in the shift log of the shop floor data system. Anyone who wants to know the status rings the shift and jots the answer down in an email. The next morning it all starts again, because yesterday's email only shows yesterday's status.

4sourcesAllocation, stock, order progress and shift log are kept separately.
23production ordersThat many orders pass through winding, assembly and the test bay at the same time each week.
25 minutesmorning roundFour people piece the status together verbally, every working day.
3follow-up queriesThe production manager chases up anything left open, one by one, over the course of the morning.

By seven o'clock the status is in writing, and the morning meeting starts with the first open question rather than with gathering the four sources. That cuts coordination effort by 35%.

The 35% reduction in coordination effort is this agent's headline figure. The 23 orders, the 25-minute morning round and the three follow-up queries reflect a typical week on a production floor; nobody has counted them.

Three steps through the process.

The agent combines utilisation, material availability and order progress into one status report; the order sequence stays with production planning.

Collect the status from the systems

The agent reads machine allocation from the MES, free stock from the ERP, progress from production planning's order list and the night's events from the shift log of the shop floor data system. It aligns all four to the same point in time: the shift change at six o'clock.

As at 06:00, 23 production orders, 4 sources read

Check material against the week's orders

For every order in the current week, the agent checks the bill of materials against free stock. If an item is missing, it names the order, the part and the day it is needed.

Order FA-90218, transformer core missing, needed on 3 September

Deliver the status report for the morning meeting

The agent writes the status on one page: allocation per area, open material items, orders behind plan. The production manager goes through the flagged points in the meeting.

What the agent does not do.

It does not resequence production.

It shows that order FA-90218 will be held up without its transformer core on 3 September. Production planning decides in the ERP whether to bring another order forward.

It does not give the customer a new date.

The postponed completion appears in the status report with order number and date. The message to the customer is written by the internal sales team.

Operations not yet confirmed in the MES are not counted.

Winding only posts its confirmations at the end of the shift, so at 06:00 order FA-90177 appears in the status report with its progress as at 22:00. The shift supervisor reports in the morning meeting how far the night shift actually got.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Production Status Report Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 6 to 8 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud or private cloud. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “35% less coordination effort” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
