Open the right shop traveler
Identify the work order and materials
An operator can scan or select the manufacturing work order, then identify the raw material, purchased component, lot number, or serial number used at the current station.
The identifier opens the related form or record for the operator. Scanning the label does not itself advance the work order or change an inventory quantity.
Document the work while it is in progress
Record each production step as work happens
Build the mobile form around the steps on the shop traveler. The operator records the work performed, material or component used, station, and job details the production office needs.
Material or component
Record the lot or serial identifier tied to the current production record.
Work completed
Enter the result, note, and supported evidence for the step before handoff.
Keep the check with the work order
Capture quality checks and test results
Use the form for a dimensional check, product test, intermediate inspection, or final inspection. Record the measured value, result, finding, and supported photo or signature where the process calls for them.
Enter the reading
Keep a numeric result with the current work order and production step.
Record the condition
Choose the result and describe a finding that needs production review.
Keep the test result
Attach the supported result to the submitted production record.
Hand the job to the next station
Move the work order to its next step
After the operator records the work and required quality check, the form can follow the defined production workflow to the next step or person.
The next operator sees the job information made available for that step. When the record is submitted, production or office staff can review the completed steps and results.
