Changelog

Release date: November 6, 2026

New Features

Label Shift Breaks Automatically

Administrators can now give each shift break a Downtime reason. Open Admin Panel → Configure Shifts and Scheduling → Shifts, then Break settings directly left of Add Shift. Turn on Label breaks automatically, choose how much time to label, then select Save. Edit each shift to choose its break reasons. Follow set up automatic break labels.

Label only the break (recommended) starts with 5 minutes of Tolerance before and after the break. For a 9:15–9:30 break and a 9:00–9:50 downtime, 9:10–9:35 gets the break reason. Label the whole downtime labels all 50 minutes, which can hide a longer breakdown.

Labelling starts from activation and applies after idle or off downtime ends. Earlier completed downtimes stay unchanged. A person's chosen reason is kept. Machines using Active shift are not labelled. Machines must offer the break's reason; the settings warn about machines that do not.

Improvements

See Where a Downtime Reason Is Used Before Deleting It

Administrators now see the affected past downtimes, machine reason lists, downtime reason rules and breaks in the deletion notice. Open Admin Panel → Configure Analyzers → Downtime reasons, then select Delete in the reason’s row menu. Follow delete a shared reason.

Deleting a reason removes it from those places. Past downtimes stay without a replacement reason. Reason charts and reports are updated for the affected days. Reports you already received stay as they were. Affected downtime reason rules are removed. That time then gets the default reason of the machine.

Release date: November 6, 2026

New Features

See Why a Machine Is Standing Still in Hall Plan

Hall Plan now shows a Downtime reason card at the end of each machine's key figures on the first slide in V2 and V3. It shows the reason the machine operator chose on the PDA page for the current downtime. The reason's colour marks the card's left edge. Hover over a shortened name to read it in full.

The card appears only while the machine is idle or off and a reason was chosen. It is absent during production and from the previous shift. V1 is unchanged.

Administrators can open the Hall Plan display settings, choose Display version → V2 or V3, then select Visible columns → Downtime reason. The choice is saved automatically for the hall and display version as soon as you tick or clear the checkbox. If the hall's display settings were saved before this update, enable the card once for each version you use. Halls whose display settings have never been saved show it by default. Follow Set Up a Hall Plan Display.

Release date: November 5, 2026

Improvements

Automatically Explain More Idle and Off Downtime

Downtime reason rules now apply to idle and off downtimes whenever the machine operator has chosen no reason. Previously, the rules mostly did not apply to these downtimes. A reason chosen by the machine operator always takes priority.

On machines with rules, more downtimes can now receive a reason, so downtime reason totals in reports and charts can change. Downtimes from before this update are unchanged. Administrators can review Machine Settings → Downtime reason rules; see automatic rules.

Fixes

Keep Your Chosen Reason Visible During Downtime

On the PDA page, a reason chosen under Downtime reasons or by tapping the latest timeline segment now stays in the running downtime's tooltip after a page refresh, instead of disappearing until the downtime ends. This also works when the downtime began before the last 8 hours shown on the timeline.

Keep Your Chosen Reason When the Machine Restarts

A chosen reason could previously be lost when downtime ended; it is now reliably saved onto that downtime, including when you choose it shortly after the machine restarts while the reason tiles are still offered. Follow choose a downtime reason.

Release date: November 4, 2026

Improvements

Version 2 Introduction Email Includes Last Week's and Last Month's Report

The introduction email now includes two Version 2 attachments in your language: last week's report first, then last month's. The email names both periods.

Everything else in the email stays the same. Both Get the new version (Version 2) and Keep my current report (Version 1) still open the choice page. Nothing changes until you confirm your choice there. Follow choose from the introduction email.

Release date: November 3, 2026

Improvements

Tell Report Updates Apart from the Layout

Administrators can now distinguish report updates from the layout in Reports → Report archive. The update line says Revision (previously Version). For example, Revision 3 beside a Version 2 badge means the third revision of a report using the new layout.

Point to the revision text or Version 2 badge for an explanation. Archive downloads always contain the latest revision; emails already sent are not sent again. Last checked is hidden when it shows the same minute as the update. Follow download or update an existing report.

Release date: November 1, 2026

Improvements

One German word for each term

German screens and the German Version 2 report now use one word per concept: preparation is Vorbereitung, delivery date is Liefertermin, and operation is Arbeitsgang. The operation’s number, such as #10, is Arbeitsgangfolge; the order of a planner queue is Reihenfolge. No English label changed, and nothing changes in how you work or in any numbers.

Release period: October 30–31, 2026

New Features

Understand Why Order Figures Are Missing

Version 2 now explains when the PDA page was barely used. Open Summary and look directly below What needs attention on the first page. Get more out of this report with the PDA page shows how few intervals were recorded, including when there were none, and explains what starting and stopping operations on the PDA page adds to your report: which orders and operations ran on each machine, with produced quantity and scrap, time per piece against the plan, and production without an order.

Order figures and Production without an order appear only with at least 5 intervals of real operations in the report period. Test orders do not count. With fewer intervals, these figures and the Orders sheet are absent; Up next remains available in eligible email reports. Follow check missing order figures.

Improvements

Read Machine Names and Interval Times More Clearly

In Summary, machine names get more room. If needed, the main downtime reason column is left out with the note The main downtime reason of each machine is on its own page and in the "Downtime" sheet. Very long names may still end in “…”.

The date column is now Delivery date (previously Delivery). Work-center pages now use Production time in intervals, with Production in intervals (h) as the summary column label. The hint under Production without an order now explains the current options: review the times under Improve intervals and, if the time belongs to an operation immediately before or after it, extend that operation’s existing interval. You cannot yet add a new interval for a past time. Follow review production without an order.

Fixes

Keep Test Orders Out of Report Results

Test orders previously appeared in report lists and counts; Version 2 now leaves them out, including under Up next. Their intervals still cover machine time, so that time does not become production without an order just because the order is a test.

Release date: October 30, 2026

New Features

See Production Without an Order in the Report

Version 2 now shows Production without an order: time a machine produced while no operation was booked on it. Stretches of at least 5 minutes count, using the same rule as Improve intervals. Open Summary → Production without an order for hours, the share of production and the change from the previous period. Production without an order per machine compares hours, biggest first. On each machine page, Longest stretches without an order lists up to five stretches to review.

For example, 2 hours without an operation booked out of 10 production hours gives a 20% share. The machine is marked orange in the chart and its Without order (h) value, and listed under What needs attention. These figures appear only if your company booked operations on its machines, for any order, in the report period or the 90 days before it. Work centers are excluded. Follow review production without an order.

Review Work Centers Separately from Machines

Previously, work centers appeared with 0% OEE and availability. A work center has no sensor, so Version 2 now shows only the operations booked on it, with no OEE, availability, performance, machine states or cycles anywhere in the report. Open Summary → Work centers, after the machine table, and click a name to open its page. The page has a purple tab and the same work-center icon as on the platform. Booked hours are operation times, not machine time.

A work center with no operations still has a summary row saying No operations booked in this period. Its page says No operations were booked on this work center in this period. Follow review work centers in a report.

Improvements

Read Report Tables More Easily

Version 2 tables fit their columns to the contents without shrinking text. Headings wrap between words; numbers, dates and statuses stay complete. Long free text ends in “…” only when it cannot fit. Orders groups operations under a heading row per machine instead of a machine column. Click a heading to open its page. Work-center headings show the same work-center icon as on the platform. Narrow day charts use “Mon 19” instead of “Mon 19/10”.

When the main downtime reason would not fit in Day by day, the report first leaves out the daily wasted energy column, then the energy column. A note directs you to All data for those values. All data also fits its columns to the text.

Release date: October 28, 2026

New Features

Choose Where Imported Work Enters the Queue

With access to ERP Uploads, open Map Columns → Operation Fields. Find New operations in the queue directly below the Operation Description row. By sorting is preselected, including for saved mappings without a placement choice. Choose Change to edit the import’s rules, or choose At the start or At the end. The choice and rules are saved with your mapping.

By sorting inserts work behind the last operation that belongs before it, without re-sorting existing work. For example, a new operation planned for 23 October follows the last one with an earlier planned start; manually arranged work keeps its relative order. Running work stays ahead. Placement never changes priorities or dates. Review the choice before saving and the placement count afterwards. Follow the import workflow.

Improvements

See Why a PDA Action Is Unavailable

Actions blocked by a machine template now stay visible and readable, but disabled. Hover over or tap one to see Locked for this machine (BDE template). This covers creating orders, taking or returning pool work, reopening completed work, interval edit icons, and saving notes or details. Search still filters the machine’s work when adding orders is blocked.

Administrators can change allowed actions under Admin Panel → BDE access templates → Allowed on the BDE page. A blocked status menu still does not open, and handed-over parts still have no reopening action. Follow the template workflow.

Read Clearer Card and Operation Explanations

In the Planner, the Show full text explanation now matches the display: each card is only as tall as its own values. The German wording on the PDA page is now consistent across waiting notices, the start confirmation, and messages for returning work to the pool.

Release date: October 28, 2026

New Features

Reopen Recently Completed Operations

On the PDA page, Recently completed shows the machine’s last five completed operations, newest first. Choose Set on hold, then Put in queue → By company sorting, At the top, or At the bottom, and confirm. Priorities and dates stay unchanged. Show takes you to the reopened operation. Follow Reopen a Completed Operation.

The Reopened badge on PDA and Planner cards shows when it was reopened; its explanation names who reopened it and where it was placed. Administrators control reopening under Admin Panel → BDE access templates → Allowed on the BDE page → Reopen completed operations. Handed-over parts cannot be reopened here.

Improvements

See What Happens When You Book and Stop

The quantity dialog’s information icon in the corner explains Cancel, Continue, and Stop. Cancel closes without booking. Continue books quantities, ends the interval and starts a new one immediately, without a completion question. Stop books quantities, ends the interval and puts the operation on hold. Notices name the operation and confirm the result.

Planned quantity reached now names the operation and uses its card’s quantity readout. Complete is preselected; choose Keep on hold if parts still need booking. Closing the question keeps it on hold. Both choices remain available when status changes are switched off. The question waits until any PDA Assist time choice is finished. Follow Review Quantities and Completion.

Fixes

Count Scrap When Checking Whether the Plan Is Reached

Previously, only good parts counted, so 97 good parts plus 3 material scrap against a plan of 100 did not bring the completion question after Stop. Good parts, material scrap, and work scrap now count across all intervals, so this example brings the question.

Release date: October 28, 2026

New Features

Put a Queue into Your Sort Rule Order

With planning access, open Re-sort → Sort rules in a Planner queue header or Gantt machine row. This tab opens first. Under Rules from, choose My sorting or Company standard, when available. You can also edit the rules directly for this re-sort only. Changed means they match neither choice; your saved sorting stays unchanged.

Review one column per rule, keep any operations in place with Can move, then choose Apply sequence. For example, sort by order priority, then operation priority, then planned order start before arranging individual cards by hand. Priorities stay unchanged. Undo restores the previous sequence. Follow Re-sort a Queue.

Improvements

Adjust Sorting and Read Planning Cards More Easily

In Filter & Sort, the Filter, Sort, and Display groups each have an information icon. The ERP import filter is now under Filter. Re-sort choices are tabs in one row again.

When machines are shown in rows, Filter & Sort → Display → Show full text is an on/off button remembered for your account. With it on, every value is shown in full and each card is only as tall as its own values. One long note does not stretch the other cards. With it off, each value uses one line; long values are cut off, and you can hover over a value to read it all. In the column layout, cards always show every value in full, so this button is absent.

Planner sort rules stay editable with Sort by Queue Position on. They order unassigned operations and provide the rules for Re-sort → Sort rules; editing them leaves existing queue positions in place. Follow Sort and Highlight Planning Cards.

Start Fixed PDA Sorting from the Company Choices

Administrators can open Admin Panel → BDE access templates to edit a template. Turning on Use a fixed sorting starts from the company sorting only if a company sorting is saved in the Planner and the template had no fixed sorting before. Otherwise, the starting choices are unchanged. Use company sorting appears in the sorting section only when company sorting exists. It shows a tick while the template already uses that sorting. It copies the sort mode and rules; choices for running and on-hold orders and for orders waiting on a previous operation stay unchanged. Without company sorting, the section keeps its usual reset to the built-in default.

Saving is available only after a change. Follow the template workflow.

Fixes

Read Delivery Dates on Cards in Rows

Order Date and Delivery Date previously shared one line on cards in rows, which could cut off Delivery Date. Each date now has its own line.

Release period: October 26–27, 2026

New Features

Choose a Report That Shows What Needs Attention

Choose Version 1 or Version 2 for your weekly and monthly report emails in your profile → Newsletter Preferences card → Newsletter report version tabs. Compare What you get and Download an example. Version 1 stays until you choose. Save Preferences is now at the top right of the card header.

Open Timeline Analysis through Reports in the side menu, then select Generate report → Download Report (XLSX). The export dialog asks for Report version, with your profile choice selected. Version 2 exports have no Up next sheet. Administrators see a Version 2 tag on new-version reports in Report archive.

You may receive an email titled “A new version of your machine report is available” with last week's report in the new version. Choose Get the new version (Version 2) or Keep my current report (Version 1), then confirm once on the page that opens, without signing in. The personal links expire after 60 days. See Report Versions and the report workflow.

Release date: October 25, 2026

New Features

Make the BDE Page the Same on Several Machines with BDE Access Templates

Administrators can now open Admin Panel → BDE access templates → New template to choose machines, fields that stay visible or highlighted, fixed sorting and automatic refresh, and allowed actions. For example, keep delivery dates highlighted wherever they are shown while letting each person choose other highlights. Follow Make the BDE Page the Same on Several Machines.

The template applies to everyone on those machines’ Data Acquisition V3 pages, including administrators. Other pages stay unchanged. Stopping work and recording quantities remain available even when status changes or interval corrections are hidden. Personal display choices stay saved; a machine without a template works as before.

Open pages pick up changes at their next automatic refresh, every 5 minutes unless another interval is set, or immediately with the page’s refresh button or by reloading the page. Other devices do not update instantly; a screen left open keeps the old choices until one of these happens. Removing a machine from a template or deleting the template returns it to personal settings.

Improvements

Find Setting Explanations Beside Their Titles

Administrators can now open the information icons beside titles in Admin Panel → BDE access templates and Admin Panel → Priority Levels to read explanations. These replace the text lines below the titles. In priority settings, this includes the section description, Which number is more urgent?, and Queue order and operation priority stay in step.

Smaller improvements in Assignment Planner and Assignment Gantt

• View options now holds Board and Planning in one dialog. Board choices are your own and apply at once. Only Admins change Planning and choose Save. Everyone else sees the values read-only with Ask an admin to change these.
• The Planner’s forecast banner is gone. With Follow planned dates or Delivery date first, hover over Manual queue order for its explanation. The chip appears only while Filter & Sort → Sort by Queue Position is on.
• In Gantt, Improve plan in the toolbar and machine rows, and Re-sort in machine rows, appear only with planning access.
• With Delivery date first, Gantt’s Improve plan greys out Best operation sequence and explains why it cannot change expected ends. You can still compare and save the fixed rules.
• If Undo after Improve plan or Re-sort fails in Gantt, it shows The old sequence could not be put back. The board now shows the current plan. and reloads the board.

Follow Compare and Save a Plan or Set the Plant’s Forecast Rule.

Release period: October 24–25, 2026

New Features

Compare Plans and Choose What Can Move

With planning access, open the sparkle icon Improve plan at the bottom of a machine header in Assignment Planner, with Sort by Queue Position on. The same dialog opens from the sparkle beside Forecaster in Assignment Gantt or from a machine row. Compare Best operation sequence with fixed rules by late orders and delay. Choose This machine, All machines in <hall>, or the Gantt board’s machines.

Choose Keep priorities, Least delay, or Fewest changes within the searched sequence. Clear Can move for operations that must keep their place. Running and on-hold operations stay in place during this search. Review expected ends, priority changes, and any new planned dates before Save as plan. Undo restores the saved changes. Follow Compare and Save a Plan.

Place Pool Work on Machines with Less Delay

With planning access and Sort by Queue Position on, select Distribute to machines in a hall-pool header. Choose machines and tick Place for the operations to include. The proposal shows each destination and place, expected ends, and reasons for work that stays in the pool. It includes pool work hidden by board filters.

Existing machine operations keep their relative sequence while pool work fits between them. Clear Can move to keep an existing operation at its exact place. Review any priority or planned-date changes, then select Apply this sequence. Undo returns placed work to the pool in its previous order. Follow Distribute Pool Work.

Improvements

Re-sort by the Priority or Date You Need

With planning access, use Re-sort (previously Sort by priority and date) in a Planner queue header or at the bottom of a Gantt machine row. Choose Order priority, Operation priority, Planned end, Delivery date, or Order date. Clear Can move to leave individual operations in place, review the proposal, then select Apply sequence. Undo restores the previous sequence. Follow Re-sort a Queue.

The planning dialogs let you choose Columns and click a row for Details. Expected end compares today’s forecast with the result after applying; planned ends and delivery dates are in the details. English labels now say “operation” wherever they mean an order’s production operation, for example Show operations in Gantt.

Release date: October 24, 2026

New Features

Keep Queue Order and Operation Priority Together

In Assignment Planner, enable Filter & Sort → Sort by Queue Position. Moving a step ahead of more urgent work can raise its operation priority; moving it back can lower it. Within one queue, moving ahead of an equally urgent step can raise it one level too. With the default levels, moving the second of two OP70 steps to the top makes it OP100. Changing Operation priority on the card also moves it to the fitting position. Undo in a drag’s priority notice restores the priority and keeps the dropped position. Follow Plan Machine Assignments.

This is on by default. Administrators can turn it off under Admin Panel → Priority Levels → How priorities are used → Queue order and operation priority stay in step. Under Which number is more urgent?, they can also choose whether higher or lower numbers mean greater urgency. Priority-and-date sorting follows that choice.

A split step shares its priority across machines and pools. Dragging one part leaves the other queues in place; changing its priority on the card can move its parts in those queues too. Order priority stays unchanged. This applies only in queue-position mode; applying a whole-queue sort does not change priorities.

See Why a Step Ends at Its Expected Time

Hover over a card’s date tab or small clock in Assignment Planner. Read Expected end, the date checks, Based on, Why this time, and Earlier steps of this order. The explanation names work it waits for, including work on other machines. Follow review Forecaster warnings.

Steps held for a long time, never started, or without a planned start now keep a forecast, with notes explaining its assumptions. No forecast remains for hall-pool work or when a forecast is unavailable. The hold limit now controls when On hold for a long time appears; it does not free the machine or remove work from the forecast. Administrators adjust it in Assignment Gantt → Planning settings → Planning.

Improvements

Follow Queue Changes More Easily

With Filter & Sort → Sort by Queue Position on, cards and their numbers now follow your dragged order exactly. Running and on-hold steps are no longer pulled to the top, including in the priority-and-date sort preview. You can reorder running work within its column; stop it before moving it to another destination.

Cards slide into position and briefly highlight after a drop. A changed forecast briefly highlights its date marker. With reduced motion enabled, outlines replace movement. Forecasts update after saves and as the schedule changes; updates pause while you drag or review a sorting dialog, an assignment dialog, or the Back to pool dialog.

Click a machine name in its column header to open Machine Details. Ctrl-click or middle-click opens a new tab. Hall-pool names remain plain text.

Fixes

Keep Dropped and Hidden Work in Place

In queue-position mode, an unstarted card moved directly to another column could jump to the end; it now keeps the dropped position. When the queue changes during a move, cards hidden by filters keep their place instead of being pushed to the end.

Release date: October 22, 2026

New Features

Put Urgent Work First After Reviewing the Queue

Administrators and users with access to the Orders page and the machine can now sort a machine queue or hall pool by priority and then the earliest planned operation start. Operators do not see this button. In Assignment Planner, enable Sort by Queue Position under Filter & Sort. In the queue header, choose Sort by priority and date. Choose Order priority or Operation priority, review the proposed positions, then select Apply order. Running and on-hold orders stay on top. Use Undo in the confirmation to restore the previous order.

Sorting happens when you apply it. You can still drag cards afterwards. Numbers at the bottom left show each card's place in the queue; they disappear when sorting rules, filters, or a search hide the full queue order. Follow Plan Machine Assignments.

Start with the Company’s Sorting Choices

Administrators can now open Filter & Sort in Assignment Planner, set the sorting, and choose Save as company default. This saves the sort mode, rules, and Moves choice. People without their own sorting start with the company choices in Assignment Planner and Data Acquisition V3. Your existing personal sorting stays in place.

Use Reset to company default in the Planner to copy the current company choices. In Data Acquisition, open Card Display Settings → Sort Order → Reset to company sorting, then Save. A reset copies today's choices; later company changes do not replace that saved personal sorting. Data Acquisition's queue-mode choices for running and waiting orders stay unchanged. Follow the company sorting steps.

Continue Unfinished Work on Another Machine

Anyone with access to the machine can now select a step in Data Acquisition V3 and choose Back to pool. This replaces Create while a step is selected. Running work goes through the normal stop and quantity entry first, followed by any PDA Assist choice. Work returns to the machine's own hall pool. Administrators and users with access to the Orders page can drag a step that was started and then stopped in Assignment Planner to any hall pool or another machine they can access. They also need access to the step’s current machine. Other users with access to that machine can only return the step to its own hall pool, in Data Acquisition or Assignment Planner. Steps that have not started still move directly in Assignment Planner without a dialog, as before.

If work has started, its recorded times and good parts stay on the original machine. Review Quantity left, add Reason (optional) for the next operator, and confirm. For example, 40 good parts out of 100 leave 60 for the next machine. When returning a step that has not started, the whole step moves. In both cases, the returned or handed-over work goes to the top of the destination queue. Follow return work from the PDA page or hand over work in the Planner.

Finished or cancelled work cannot be sent back. Data Acquisition needs a machine assigned to a hall. There is no automatic undo for a handover; check the destination and quantity before confirming.

Improvements

Choose Where Running Orders Appear on the PDA Page

In Data Acquisition V3, open Card Display Settings → Sort Order. Previously, running and on-hold orders stayed on top automatically with Sort by Queue Position on. They now keep their queue position by default with Keep in place. To show them first, choose Running and on-hold orders → At the top. For example, you can bring an order that was started and is on hold for a tool change to the top. In Assignment Planner, running and on-hold cards still stay on top.

With queue sorting off, add Running and on-hold orders as a rule and choose At the top or At the bottom. This rule comes before the waiting-order rule and priority or date. Select Save to apply your choices. These options belong to your Data Acquisition display and are outside the company default. Follow Configure the Data Acquisition V3 Display.

See Where the Remaining Work Will Continue

Handed over identifies the finished part on the original machine, while the order can still be planned or in progress. Orders & Products and the order header also show a neutral Handed over badge. Hover over it to see each affected step, the good parts already made, and where the rest is waiting.

Step details show Partly done: with the quantities and destination, then Done on with the machines once all parts are finished. Cards in the Planner, Data Acquisition, machine views, Hall Plan, and Gantt show where work came from or went. Follow hand over work.

Fixes

Place Newly Assigned Work at the Start of the Queue

With Sort by Queue Position off and Moves: Start of Queue selected, an unassigned operation you drop onto a machine or hall pool now lands at the start of that queue. Previously, it always landed at the end.

See Confirmation When Taking Work from the Pool

In Data Acquisition V3, confirmation messages for actions such as claiming work were missing. They now appear at the bottom of the page, including confirmations when you send work back to the pool.

Release date: October 21, 2026

New Features

Correct Times, Quantities, and Interval Type Together

In Data Acquisition V3, open an order's interval list and tap a start or end time once. Edit interval opens on Start or End. The pencil opens Quantities. Users with access to Order Management can also choose Edit interval from an interval's three-dot menu; this opens the editor on Quantities.

Change times with touch wheels or type hours and minutes on a computer. Use −5 min or +5 min for quick corrections. You can also correct quantities and switch between Production and Preparation before selecting Save. Follow Run Data Acquisition.

A running interval now reads Still running (previously Ongoing) on every screen. Its end is set when you stop it through the normal controls. You cannot end a running interval here or clear a saved end. A running interval also cannot switch to a type already running on the same order.

Show Orders That Can Start Before Waiting Work

In Data Acquisition V3, you can now move orders marked ⚠️ below work that can start. Open Card Display Settings → Sort Order. With Sort by Queue Position off, click Add sort rule, select Waiting on a previous step and choose At the bottom or At the top. This rule always comes first, ahead of priority or date.

With Sort by Queue Position on, choose Orders waiting on a previous step → At the bottom. Running and on-hold orders stay on top. Other orders appear before waiting work, and the queue order stays the same within each group. Keep in place keeps the usual queue display.

Both options are off until you choose them and are saved for your account. They apply to the machine's order list and Pool, but are not offered in Assignment Planner. Once the earlier steps are finished, the order moves into the group that can start at the next refresh. Follow Configure the Data Acquisition V3 Display.

Fixes

Keep the Correct Quantities When Editing an Interval

In Order Management, editing a cumulative quantity could use the amount made in one interval as the full counter reading. The editor now starts with the saved counter reading and loads saved quantities for running intervals instead of showing zeros.

See Saved Interval Changes Immediately

The open interval table could keep showing old values after saving. It now updates immediately, including when a save finishes after you select Cancel.

Release date: October 20, 2026

New Features

Keep Hall Pools in View Beside the List

In Assignment Planner on a wide screen, open Hall pools → Where to show them → Beside the list. Choose halls under Which pools to show. Each pool stays beside Unassigned operations while you scroll through machines. In the board remains the default, and your placement choice is remembered.

Use Collapse pool to make space. The narrow strip still accepts cards dropped at the end of the pool. Click the strip to expand it. Follow Plan Machine Assignments.

Choose Where to Search for Work

The search box above the unassigned list is gone. Previously it filtered the list, hall pools, and machines together. Search now starts with Unassigned, which filters only the unassigned list. Choose Search in → Everything to search all three as before, or choose Hall pools or Machines. Machines searches work on machines, not machine names.

Open search with Ctrl+F (⌘F on a Mac) or the search icon in Filter & Sort. On the Planner, this shortcut opens Planner search instead of the browser’s find-in-page. The bar shows Tip: press Ctrl+F to search orders, products and customers; on a Mac, the tip shows ⌘F.

Your choice is remembered. A link with a search uses Everything for that visit without changing your saved choice. Esc or × closes and clears the search. Follow the planning workflow.

Improvements

Plan Across 25 Machines at Once

Select up to 25 machines in Assignment Planner or Assignment Gantt. Previously, the Planner allowed 10 machines and hall pools combined, and Gantt allowed 10 machines. Hall pools now do not count toward the Planner limit. Gantt has no hall-pool columns.

With many machines, the Planner opens and refreshes faster. After you move a card, only the queues involved update. Gantt no longer reloads after every tick in the machine menu. It reloads once when you close the menu to apply your selection.

Planner queues initially show 40 cards. Use Show 40 more, or the smaller remaining number, to reveal the next cards. The count and summary include every card in the queue, also the ones not shown yet. Follow Plan Machine Assignments.

Release date: October 18, 2026

New Features

See What Was Worked and What Comes Next

The Hall Plan’s order cards now also appear on Machines, the machine page and Machine History; the Hall Plan looks as before. For machines you can access, Orders today (previously Live orders) shows today’s work, including finished steps. Up next (previously Planned orders) shows the queue in execution order. Work center cards offer both lists. On the machine page, Worked follows the selected day; Up next shows the whole queue with running work first. Follow Monitor a Machine Live.

In machine history, open Orders to compare worked stretches and machine states on the same time axis. Click a bar or row to see the step, its order’s other steps, and Open order. Whole period fits the chart. Longer selections show orders for the last 3 months. Follow Review Machine History.

In these lists, only a running step is coloured, and every card shows the order and operation priority. Worked cards keep actual start and end times, including earlier start dates. The information icon at the end of a card or row separates Booked time from Machine states: production bookings can include idle time. Machine and order timelines use matching labels and clearer text. Accessibility patterns also applies to the history state row and legend.

Improvements

Set a Priority for Each Operation While Creating an Order

If you can create or edit orders, open Orders & Products, start an order or edit an operation, and choose its priority from your company's levels. The dashed OP indicator beside the operation name shows its priority separately from the order priority.

New operations and operations without a saved priority start at 100. A saved value outside the company levels stays selectable. Follow Create a Production Order.

Fixes

Recognize an Empty Order History More Easily

In machine history, an empty Orders section previously shrank to a plain line of text. It now keeps its space and shows a centred No orders were worked on this machine in this period. message.

Include Ongoing Machine States in History Totals

Machine History for any range and the Timeline report over several days now count the time since the last state change. Days spent in one state are no longer almost empty, and today counts up to now. Review Machine History explains the 20-minute rule for missing sensor signals.

Understand Delivery Warnings Before Changing Your Plan

You can now open How does the Forecaster work? to learn what expected times mean, how to read the colours, and when an order may finish later than shown. On Orders & Products, the order page, or Assignment Gantt, click the information icon beside Forecaster. In Assignment Planner, open Forecaster check → How does the Forecaster work?.

Clearer descriptions explain delivery warnings and missing planning details. The amber status now reads at risk (previously tight): the order is not late yet, but the remaining work barely fits or an earlier step is not planned. Times may be too early warns that the displayed finish may be too optimistic. For example, a step without a machine can make an order finish later than shown.

Reading the forecast never changes your plan or delivery dates. Use the planning workflow to review the warnings before deciding what to change.

See What PDA Assist Is Doing on Your Machine

On Data Acquisition V3, tap PDA Assist at the right edge to see the assistance enabled for your machine. It appears while at least one assistance option or warning is on. The dot is amber only while automatic ending counts down; otherwise it is green. A brief glow marks a time correction. Follow Run Data Acquisition.

Improvements

Set Up Assistance with Examples and Warning Previews

Administrators can now set production and setup options separately under Machine Settings → PDA Assist → Start time and End time. Existing machines keep their saved behaviour. For example, setup can end at 08:40 when production began, even if you press Stop at 08:46.

Open How changes are applied → How are the times chosen? for six step-by-step examples and this machine's time limits. Use the information icon beside a warning to preview its delay, severity, and sound choice before saving. The preview follows your unsaved settings.

When you first enable a section with no saved options, start and end correction or three recommended warnings are preselected. Review them and select Save. Follow Configure a Machine.

Fixes

Choose Times That Match What the Machine Did

Assistance could use an older production stretch or a time at a limit where nothing happened. It now uses real machine events, most recent first, ignores data gaps under 10 minutes and other interruptions under 2 minutes, and leaves times beyond the automatic limit for your choice; the same rules guide interval reviews.

Change Settings Only When You Select Them

Clicking descriptions or empty space could change settings or selections. In machine settings, hall selections, and the reason form's machine list, use the checkbox or its title or name; descriptions and empty space no longer change the selection.

Release date: October 15, 2026

New Features

Record the Times Work Actually Started and Ended

PDA Assist can adjust late starts and stops to times shown by the machine, including preparation. Administrators enable it under Machine Settings → PDA Assist. Operators can choose a suggested time, keep the time they pressed, or use Undo and Change… after an automatic adjustment. For example, a late stop can end at the last production time.

Administrators can also enable Auto-end forgotten intervals. It keeps checking even when nobody has the PDA page open. It ends production intervals only; quantities still need booking. Follow Run Data Acquisition.

Review Past Intervals Before Changing Them

With access to a machine, open Improve intervals on its detail page to check up to 60 days. Compare Now and After, review time added or removed, and apply selected suggestions. Administrators can review several machines and use Apply best everywhere after confirmation.

Finding suggestions changes nothing. Applying them changes historic order times and OEE; reports follow at their next calculation. Overlaps and suggestions beyond the automatic limit need individual review and stay out of the bulk action. Follow Review and Improve Intervals.

Offer the Right Downtime Reasons on Each Machine

Administrators can open Machine Settings → Downtime reasons to offer all reasons or a selected list, create or edit reasons, and Apply to other machines. Copying replaces the destinations' selections. Optional Code and Category help operators recognize reasons; category filters narrow the PDA page's tiles.

Use Available on machines when editing a reason to choose where it can be selected. Editing the reason itself affects every machine. Deleting it keeps past downtime entries but removes their reason; a machine losing its last selected reason returns to all reasons. Follow Create and Manage Downtime Reasons.

Improvements

Open Machine Settings Directly from the Machine

Administrators can select Machine Settings, the gear beside the refresh button in the machine header. Settings open in the same tab; use the browser's back button to return. Follow Configure a Machine.

Set Warnings and Interval Assistance Together

Administrators now find separate Interval assist and Warnings switches under PDA Assist (previously PDA Assistant). Each warning shows its delay, severity, and sound choice. The simultaneous-order warning now follows Jobs in parallel. Reset to defaults resets one section while keeping its switch; select Save to keep the reset.

Copy to other machines… replaces both interval assistance and warnings with the settings shown, including unsaved changes. Review both sections before copying.

Fixes

Keep Your Shift and Reason Tiles Up to Date

Interval changes now appear immediately in the timeline; the update after an edit keeps your selected shift instead of switching away. Saved reason tile orders now include newly available reasons and remove deleted reasons instead of hiding new tiles or leaving empty ones.

Choose a Reason Colour Without the Picker Closing

The colour picker could close as soon as you opened it. Pick colour now stays open until you click outside it; you can also enter a colour value or choose Random colour.

Release period: October 11–14, 2026

New Features

Find Delivery Delays and Compare Better Plans

The Forecaster shows expected starts and finishes across machines, shifts, and earlier steps. Open Orders & Products → Forecaster to find late deliveries and missing planning steps. In Assignment Planner → Forecaster check, choose the date to check. In Assignment Gantt → Attention, trace what is holding an order back.

Use Improve plan to compare waiting work, then review Save as plan before changing queues and planned dates. A preview saves nothing. Running and on-hold assignments stay in place. Follow Plan Machine Assignments.

Administrators can set the plant's ordering and hold limit under Planning settings. They can also set Planning → Jobs in parallel in machine configuration so expected times reflect how many assignments the machine can run together.

Receive Alerts When Work Threatens Delivery

Administrators can now choose Forecaster conditions when creating an Automator rule. Check delivery risk, late finishes, overdue starts, long holds, or delays passed on to other assignments and orders. For example, Delivery Date at Risk greater than 0 warns whenever an expected finish passes the delivery date.

These conditions cannot share a rule with machine or order conditions. The active-shift restriction does not apply. Choose recipients and review the rule before saving; use Show in Gantt from the event to investigate. Follow Create an Automator Rule.

Improvements

See Key Figures and Shift Orders on the Same Display

Administrators can show the Active order column and set Key figures / orders switch in Hall Plan display settings. Each machine alternates between key figures and the orders worked during the shift. The switch time is limited to half the page-switch time so both views appear before the page changes.

No orders worked in this shift explains an empty order view. Follow Set Up a Hall Plan Display.

Receive Scheduled Reports That Were Missed

After a delivery problem, the Watchmen team can manually resend the latest scheduled weekly report for the last completed week, the latest scheduled monthly report for the last completed month, or both. Only recipients missed by the failed delivery receive it; anyone who already received the report gets no second email. Redelivery is not automatic, and customers cannot start it themselves.

Administrators can also open Report archive to check delivery counts and download a ready report. Follow Download and Update Reports.

Fixes

Receive Report Emails with German Subjects

Scheduled report emails with German subjects, for example subjects containing umlauts, could fail to send and now arrive.

Read Company Priorities on Hall Displays

Hall Plan kiosks could not read the company's priority levels. Shared displays now use those levels for order and operation priorities, as the signed-in views do.

Release period: October 9–10, 2026

New Features

Plan Work Without a Connected Sensor

Use Machines → Work centers to review running and planned orders at workplaces without an AVA. You can select these workplaces for orders and assignments. Their cards show work instead of sensor KPIs; they do not count toward machine states or analytics.

Administrators choose Kind → Work center during setup or in the machine configuration. Converting an existing machine removes its AVA assignments and stops KPI calculation. Review the confirmation before Unassign and switch. Follow Add a Machine or Work Center or Configure a Machine.

Find and Update Your Reports in One Archive

Administrators can now open Report archive from the archive button next to the Timeline / Trend switch at the top of the Reports pages. Open Reports in the side menu to find Weekly, Monthly, and Export reports in the archive. Other users do not see the archive. Filter by period, machine, or source, check whether a report is Ready, and download the available file. Scheduled reports can be delivered by email; the archive shows the delivery count.

Select Rebuild with current data to check an existing report against current production records. If nothing changed, the archive tells you. If rebuilding fails, the previous version remains available. A report that takes longer to create appears in the archive when ready. Other users should try the export again later. Follow Download and Update Reports.

Improvements

See When an Active Shift Is Waiting to Start

Waiting for the next active shift explains why no active shift is running yet. The next shift begins automatically at idle, production, or preparation. Until then, planned shifts from the assigned group are shown; this does not switch the machine back to scheduled shifts.

In Machine History, select the shifts you want to review. Charts follow your selection, and shift details show the times. Choose Whole day for the full day. Follow Review Machine History.

Switch Between Planning Queues and the Timeline

Use the view switch in Assignment Planner or Assignment Gantt to move between queues and the timeline. Review dates in the timeline and return to the planner to change assignments. Follow Plan Machine Assignments.

Fixes

Compare Shifts with Correct Cycle and Energy Figures

Live-shift cycle counts could appear empty while cycles were counted in the previous shift. The comparison now places cycles in the correct shift. Shift energy totals now follow the company's local shift times; previously, they could cover a different time window. This also corrects energy totals in Machine History.

Release period: October 7–8, 2026

New Features

Let Shifts Follow Machine Activity

Administrators can now open the machine configuration and select Shifts → Active shift. A shift starts automatically when the machine begins idle, production, or preparation. Set Minimum shift length, Stop that ends a shift, and Maximum shift length to control its end. Before the minimum is reached, a shorter stop such as lunch stays within the shift as off time. After the minimum, the first stop ends it. At the maximum, a new shift starts even if work continues; the limit is 24 hours.

Switching on removes scheduled shifts from today onward, but keeps shifts already recorded today. The assigned shift group stays in place and is unused. Switching off ends the running active shift immediately and creates scheduled shifts from the group from today. Some alert rules do not fire for these machines; review their notices. Follow Configure a Machine.

Confirm a New Email Before Your Sign-in Address Changes

Open Profile → Change email, enter New email, and select Send verification. Open the link sent to the new address and select Confirm email change. Keep using your current email until confirmation, then sign in with the new one.

While confirmation is pending, use Resend after the displayed wait or Cancel change. Administrators can also request changes for users who are not operators from user management; the user must still confirm the new address. Follow Change Your Email Address.

Improvements

Recognize the Product Running on Each Machine

In the Hall Plan display settings, choose Product information → On to show the active order's product image, product name, and operation sequence (#) next to the machine image. The product must have an image. Order names and positions help you identify the work.

With Off, or without a product image, the operation sequence appears in the order card instead. Order and operation priority always appear in the order card. You can also click the state-pattern icon to see examples. Follow Set Up a Hall Plan Display.

Release period: September 19–28, 2026

New Features

Catch Missing Production Entries with the PDA Assistant

The PDA Assistant warns about production without an order, forgotten running orders, missing downtime reasons, and stale live data. Administrators enable it in the machine configuration under PDA Assistant → Enable warnings on this machine and choose each warning's delay, severity, and sound.

On the PDA page, select View all warnings to review the issues and available actions. Snoozing hides and silences a warning temporarily; it returns if the problem remains. Follow Run Data Acquisition or Configure a Machine.

Build and Review Alert Rules from Templates

Administrators can open Automator, choose Start from a template, and adapt an alert for slow cycles, scrap, delays, or a missing sensor signal. Nothing is created until you review and save. Review → What this alert will do explains the conditions, recipients, timing, and escalation.

Missing recipients are called out: the alert still appears in Events, but nobody receives an email. Escalation can notify selected recipients when an alert is not handled in time. Open an event to inspect its details. Follow Create an Automator Rule.

Set a Priority for an Individual Operation

In Assignment Planner, select a dashed OP chip to change Operation priority independently of Order priority. Filter by either priority or both; when both filters are set, work must match both.

In Order Upload, Initial operation priority (new operations) supplies a value when the operation priority cell is empty or no column is selected. Leave the initial value empty to use 100. Existing priorities stay unchanged on re-import. See the planning workflow and import workflow.

Improvements

Choose the Right Dates and View for Planning

In Assignment Planner, open the information icon for Assignment Planner Guide to understand filters, sorting, and moving cards. Cards can show Operation Planned Start and Operation Planned End. Use operation dates to sequence individual steps, or order dates to keep an order's steps together.

On the order page, Group by → Operation or Machine changes how you review the work. In Orders & Products, the planned/actual date choice determines whether the date filter searches scheduled or recorded work. Follow Plan Machine Assignments.

See What a Re-import Keeps and What Needs Review

In Order Upload, open What a re-import changes for existing orders to review which values stay and which may update. Empty cells keep existing values. Production history is never changed, and missing rows delete nothing.

Operations with recorded work stay on their current machine and are still imported. Choose Keep both if they should also run on the new machine. Quantities already split across machines stay in place and are marked for planner review. Check the warnings before and after import using the import workflow.

UI-Build commits: 2dbb32c, 3aa62c3, fda9521

Release period: September 15–16, 2026

New Features

Review What an Order Import Will Change

Order Upload now helps you check the impact of an import before confirming it. After uploading your file and reviewing the column mapping and preview, open What this import will change to see counts of new, updated, and existing records across orders, products, customers, operations, and assignments.

Expand the row-by-row details to see which schedules will change, which operations and assignments will be created, and which durations will be recalculated. Confirm the import once you have reviewed the proposed changes.

Resolve Scheduling Conflicts During Import

If an imported operation is already scheduled elsewhere, Order Upload now groups the conflict under its order and explains the reason, such as an assignment that already has recorded production. Review each conflict and choose the appropriate action:

• Move to [new target] to apply the assignment from the file.
• Keep on [current target] to retain the existing assignment.
• Keep both to keep assignments at both targets for parallel work.

Conflicts that cannot be resolved in the import review are flagged for manual resolution in the Assignment Planner. After import, a summary shows which decisions were applied and explains any that could not be applied, for example because production started after your review.

Highlight Important Fields on Planning Cards

In the Assignment Planner or the order operation panel, open Highlight and select the fields you want to emphasize. Fields are grouped by Order, Work Order, Product, Operation, Planning, and Assignment.

Your selected fields are highlighted across the cards, making details such as priority, due date, or customer easier to find when scanning a busy plan.

Improvements

Clearer Operation Notes and Descriptions

Notes and descriptions are easier to read and edit in Work Order Notes and the order timeline. Empty fields now show a visible prompt so you can see where to add information for the next person working on the operation.

UI-Build commits: 07f4c72, 0a96996, 551b5e1

Release period: September 13–14, 2026

New Features

Move Assignments Between Machines and Hall Pools

In the Assignment Planner, drag an assignment card directly from one machine or hall-pool column to another, then choose whether to place it at the start or end of the destination queue. You no longer need to unassign the operation and add it again to change its destination.

Assignments that are already in progress or completed cannot be moved to another column. You can still reorder them within their current queue.

Recognize Sensors That Switch Off with the Machine

If a sensor receives power only while its machine is on, open the machine's Configuration → Basic Info and enable Sensor powered by machine. A missing signal from that sensor is then shown as machine off instead of unknown, helping you distinguish an expected shutdown from an unexplained loss of data.

Improvements

Search Results as You Type

Searching assignments and the pool of unassigned operations in the Assignment Planner now updates results immediately as you type, making it quicker to locate work in long queues.

UI-Build commits: 9183297, 74725eb, 4f395b2, f55cfaa, 346a4fe

Release period: September 9–11, 2026

New Features

Match Priority Levels to Your ERP

Administrators can now define company priority names, numbers, and colors under Admin Panel → Priority Levels. Select Apply preset to use priority numbering for SAP, Epicor Kinetic, or Infor M3, or add, rename, reorder, recolor, and delete levels individually.

Save your changes to use the same levels in Order Upload, the Assignment Planner, and order management. Reset to defaults is available if you want to start again.

Adjust Interval Times Quickly

In Data Acquisition, double-tap an interval's start or end time to open the quick editor. Use the +2m, +5m, or +30m buttons, or their minus equivalents, to adjust the time in small steps. Repeated taps add up: two taps on +5m move the time forward by ten minutes.

The full date/time picker remains available for precise corrections.

Choose Timeline Detail and Refresh Frequency

Open Data Acquisition V3 settings and use Timeline display → Show intervals in graph to show or hide interval bars. Under Auto-refresh interval, choose how often assignments and hall pools refresh automatically, so you can adjust the display to your working needs.

Sort Queues Manually or by Your Own Rules

In the sort/filter options of the Assignment Planner or Data Acquisition V3, enable Sort by Queue Position to display the order you set by dragging assignments.

Turn it off to sort by fields such as priority or date instead. Choose ascending or descending order for each rule, add further rules to break ties, and drag the rules into the order in which they should take precedence.

UI-Build commits: 85448b0, c22ad83, aabbbd5, 10a187f, 8e1abd1

Release date: September 6, 2026

New Features

Switch Machines from the Top Bar

While viewing a machine's Data Acquisition screen, select the machine name in the top navigation bar. The dropdown lists the other machines you can access, grouped by hall. Select a machine to open its Data Acquisition screen directly without returning to the machine overview.

Distinguish Machine States with Patterns

Enable Accessibility patterns in the machine status legend to add dots for Idle and diagonal lines for Off wherever machine status is shown. These patterns help you distinguish the states without relying on color alone.

Select See how this looks to compare a shift timeline with and without patterns, including a simulation of color blindness.

Plan Work for a Hall Pool

In the Assignment Planner, each hall now has a Hall Pool column alongside its machine columns. Drag an operation into the hall pool, or assign a new operation there, when several machines in that hall could carry out the work and you want to leave the machine choice open.

A readiness badge shows when the operation is ready to be claimed by a machine, so you can plan shared work without choosing a specific machine upfront.

Improvements

Find Assignments and Unassigned Operations

Search directly across assignments and the pool of unassigned operations in the Assignment Planner to locate a particular order or operation in a long queue.

UI-Build commits: 2528d95, 5a49ede, 9fdae8b

Release date: September 3, 2026

New Features

Verify Your Phone Number

On your Profile page, enter your phone number and select Request Code. Enter the six-digit code sent by SMS and confirm it to verify the number on your account.

If the code does not arrive, you can request another after a short waiting period. To change or remove the number, select Remove phone on the same page; you can then add and verify a new number.

Manage AVA Devices in a Dedicated Tab

Open a machine's Configuration → AVA Assignments to select an AVA device and connect it to the machine. If several devices are connected, drag them up or down to set their priority. Device assignments now have their own place in machine setup, making them easier to find and manage.

Improvements

Understand Why Automatic Assignment Failed

When automatic assignment in the Assignment Gantt cannot place an order, a message now explains why, for example when no machine is available. You can use that explanation to review the plan and decide what to change.

UI-Build commits: 117c368, 6d63467, 49932f3, e4a20cc

Release period: August 24–29, 2026

Improvements

More Reliable Machine Setup and Production Tracking

• AVA device setup: invalid or duplicate entries are caught before saving, so you can correct them immediately.
• Data Acquisition timeline: entries for idle and stopped periods update more reliably when you switch quickly between running, paused, and stopped states.
• Order completion: an assignment is marked complete when the produced quantity exactly matches the planned quantity, preventing premature completion.

UI-Build commit: 54e018d

Release date: August 19, 2026

New Features

Review and Correct Uploaded Order Files

After selecting an order file, you can now preview its file name, row and column count, and a sample of its contents before continuing.

Select Expand to edit to open the full file view. You can correct individual values, paste matching groups of values from Excel, and see how many cells you have changed before saving.

• Column headings and row counts remain fixed, so the file structure cannot be changed accidentally.
• Saved corrections are highlighted in the preview, making adjustments easy to review.
• Closing the editor without saving discards unsaved changes and leaves the original file unchanged.

Understand Time-Setting Effects Before Uploading

The upload review now explains when a time value or the Industrial minutes setting changes preparation or production time, and identifies the affected row. This provides a clearer final check before you confirm an upload.

Identify Operations Using Industrial Minutes

Operations that use industrial minutes now show an Industrial minutes label next to their planned times. Hover over the label for a short explanation of the time convention.

Improvements

Choose How Operations Are Ordered

Within a work order, you can now sort operations by sequence number. Select the sort button beside Add operation, then choose Ascending or Descending to review the work in the order that best fits your planning or shop-floor workflow.

Delete Incorrect Time Entries

You can now remove an incorrect recorded time entry from Order Analysis. Open the entry menu, select Delete, review the displayed start and end time, and confirm the deletion.

Deletion is permanent. Once confirmed, Order Analysis and the related timeline immediately reflect the current production record.

• Filter by order tags and priority.
• Review and edit operation or assignment notes from the planner.

ERP Upload Planner

• Import order tags with order data.
• Choose standard or industry-minute interpretation for time fields.
• Limit an import to orders that already have a machine assignment.
• Review upload progress and schedule warnings before confirmation.

Data Acquisition (PDA)

• Operation sequence numbers appear on job chips.
• Starting or stopping production updates the related order status.
• An over-production prompt can help operators review order completion.
