The Deswik.OPS Operator App is specifically designed to make the operator’s job easier by: • Enabling the easy capture of production data • Keeping up-to-date with a live shift plan displayed by location, operator or equipment • Checking the status of equipment on the dashboard and easily drilling down into it for more information • Getting location information from the location dashboard with plans, location history and notes included • Exploring the status of locations, equipment and planned tasks with the interactive map
