Use this when a machine has a problem and you're not sure what's causing it — describe what you see and the AI searches the knowledge base for matching past faults.

1. Go to AI Diagnose from the nav bar.
2. Type a description of the fault in plain English — e.g. "Labels are skewing on the left side of the can". The more detail the better.
3. Tap Diagnose. The AI will return the closest matching faults from your logged history, ranked by relevance.
4. Each match shows the machine, the original fix applied, and step-by-step troubleshooting guidance.
5. You can also ask shift questions like "What happened last night?" or "Catch me up" and the AI will give a plain-English briefing based on actual shift data.

Tip: The more faults your team logs, the better the diagnosis gets. An empty knowledge base gives limited results.

The core of FactoryMind. Every fault you log here becomes part of the knowledge base that the AI uses for diagnosis. Always log faults — even small ones.

1. Go to Fault & Fix Log from the nav bar.
2. Fill in the machine, severity (Critical → Low), a description of the fault, and the fix applied.
3. Add optional details: downtime in minutes, photos, whether it needs flagging for planned maintenance.
4. Tap Log Fault. It saves immediately and is visible to the whole team.
5. Logged faults appear in the list below. Tap any fault to expand and see full details.

Severity guide: Critical = line stopped, High = line running but risk of stoppage, Medium = degraded performance, Low = minor issue fixed quickly.

Tip: Write the fault description as if explaining it to someone who has never seen the machine. The more descriptive, the more useful for future diagnosis.

Log every stoppage as it happens. Downtime is used to calculate OEE and to highlight which machines are causing the most lost production.

1. Go to Reports → Downtime.
2. Fill in the machine, reason, time started, and duration in minutes.
3. Select Planned reasons (Changeover, Shift Handover) when downtime was scheduled — these are excluded from OEE availability so they don't unfairly penalise the shift.
4. Add notes if there's anything useful to pass on.
5. Tap Log Stoppage. It appears immediately in the shift report below.

OEE explained: The Downtime tab calculates OEE automatically. Availability = time running ÷ available time. Performance = actual cans ÷ max possible. Quality = good cans ÷ total produced. OEE = A × P × Q.

Unaccounted downtime banner: If production figures show more lost time than you've logged as stoppages, the banner will flag the gap by hour — go back and log any missing stoppages.

Log hourly can counts so the system can calculate OEE Performance and Quality, and flag hours where the line was below target.

1. Go to Reports → Production.
2. At the start of the shift, set the product and target per hour. This only needs doing once per shift.
3. Each hour, tap Log This Hour, enter the can count from the counter, and add any waste or reject cans.
4. The hourly table shows actual vs target with red highlighting for below-target hours and the equivalent downtime equivalent for each shortfall.

Waste field: Enter cans that were rejected or scrapped this hour. This feeds directly into the OEE Quality calculation — high waste lowers the Quality score even if the line was running fast.

A live score for every machine on your line, from 0 to 100. It updates automatically based on downtime and production shortfall accumulated over time.

1. Go to Reports → Machine Health.
2. Each machine shows a score and a colour: Green (85–100) = healthy, Amber (65–84) = watch it, Red (0–64) = attention needed.
3. Tap a machine to see a breakdown of what's pulling the score down — recent stoppages, recurring faults, and total downtime contributed.

Tip: Machines flagged for planned maintenance in the Fault Log will show a PM indicator. Use the health score in your maintenance planning — machines in the red are good candidates for an engineer visit.

At the end of your shift, leave a note for the incoming supervisor and export a full handover report as a PDF.

1. Go to Reports → Handover.
2. You'll see the incoming note from the previous shift supervisor at the top — read this first.
3. Fill in Your Name and type your Supervisor Note — anything the next person needs to know: known issues, things to watch, jobs left to finish.
4. Tap Save Note. The incoming supervisor will see this when they open the handover tab.
5. Tap Export PDF for a full printed report: KPIs → production table → stoppages → faults.

Tip: Be specific in your note. "Filler running warm, watch the drive motor temperature" is more useful than "machine was struggling".

A log of completed shifts, saved automatically. Use it to compare performance over time or to look back at what happened on a previous shift.

1. Go to Reports → Shift History.
2. Each card shows the shift, date, line, OEE, cans produced, total downtime, and top stoppages.
3. Use the line filter at the top to view Line 1 or Line 2 separately.

How it works: A shift record is saved automatically when you log in at the start of a new shift — it archives the previous shift's data. No manual action needed.

Standard Operating Procedures for each machine. Step-by-step instructions for common tasks — changeovers, startups, fault clearances.

1. Go to SOPs from the nav bar.
2. Select a category (e.g. Startup, Changeover, Fault Clearance) and then a machine.
3. The procedure loads below with numbered steps to follow in order.

Tip: SOPs are most useful when a new operator is running a machine for the first time, or when a fault clearance step is unclear. Have the SOP open on your phone while you work through it.

Recognises the operators who are building the knowledge base. Points are awarded for every fault and fix logged. Resets every two weeks.

1. Go to Leaderboard from the nav bar.
2. Your position and points are shown for the current two-week period.
3. Points are awarded per fault logged — the more detail you add, the more useful the entry, and the more it helps your team.

Tip: The leaderboard resets fortnightly so there's always a fresh chance to top the table. Consistently logging faults — even small ones — adds up.

1. Line selector: The line you're on appears in the top bar. Tap it to switch between Line 1 and Line 2. All data — faults, downtime, production — is filtered to your selected line.
2. Day / Night mode: Tap the moon/sun icon in the top bar to switch between dark and light themes.
3. Sign out: Go to Settings in the nav bar and tap Sign Out.
4. Add to home screen (iPhone): Open the app in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. The app will open full-screen without the browser bar.
