About

SynapticaOS (Watch)

Read full description

The “Smart Alerts” app revolutionizes the operation of production systems and effectively supports your employees. Walking distances are reduced and predictable line downtimes are avoided thanks to early notifications. The remaining running times are automatically calculated by all systems and transmitted in real time – for example, directly to the operator's smartwatch. In addition, the Task Manager can be accessed from anywhere, enabling flexible management of work areas across individual lines. The result: an increased OEE and a noticeable reduction in the workload on employees. The Smart Messenger is a multifunctional chat application that considerably simplifies communication between employees in production. The fast transmission of messages to smartwatches and PCs means that tasks can be assigned more efficiently and immediate support can be requested. Walking distances are reduced, responsibilities are clearly defined and all message threads are stored securely.
