Shop floor
Machine operator
Records the routine at the workstation, on large screens with few taps, wearing gloves and at the pace of the line.
I finish the inspection before the next cycle — and I still see my cell in the shift ranking.
A solution that makes sure critical industrial routines are executed, recorded and tracked — in a way that is simple, modern and fast
Critical shop-floor routines need to be completed and tracked in real time.
PMQ+ makes sure critical industrial routines are executed, recorded and tracked — in a way that is simple, modern and fast.

Strengths
Strengths of the solution
Hover over each card to see how it works in practice.
Less paper
A significant reduction in paper used to record the routine.
Less paper
Operations can be recorded on tablets, phones and custom kiosks, placed strategically on the shop floor.
Standardized routine
Routine standardization and shorter execution time at the workstation.
Standardized routine
Create the right routines for each workstation and tune the delay alert triggers — the routine chases the operator before the manager has to.
Traceability
Auditable history by batch, machine, shift and operator.
Traceability
Every record is traceable to the operator's login — username and password or biometrics. Who did it, when, and what they found.
Real-time Digital Visual Management
The cell board updated with every record made at the workstation.
Real-time Digital Visual Management
Follow in real time the routines being performed by operators on TVs, monitors and tablets across the plant.
Real-time notifications
An alert in the team's WhatsApp when a routine goes off standard.
Real-time notifications
Get messages in the WhatsApp group when a routine goes into alert — or a consolidated summary at the end of the shift.
AI analysis
Insights generated from the routine's own data.

01 · The problem
The routine exists in the procedure,
but does it really exist on the shift?
Checklist filled in afterwards, clipboard in the supervisor's office, spreadsheet consolidated on Friday. By the time the deviation reaches the manager, the part has already run.
01
Execution
Routine signed, not performed
A checklist filled in all at once at the end of the shift protects no process at all.
02
Records
Paper that disappears
Evidence filed in a physical folder supports neither an audit nor traceability by batch.
03
Analysis
The engineer became a typist
Hours of tabulation to build the chart that should already be ready.
04
Reaction
Deviation found too late
By the time the indicator closes, the fix has already cost scrap, rework and downtime.
02 · Solutions
Digitized Critical Routines
Enable only what the plant needs. Every routine comes with form, authority level and indicator configured for your process.
Product Visual Inspection Routine
Digital checklists at the workstation, with photo, signature and lockout when the standard is not met.

See the routine Production Logging and OEE RoutineDowntime logging on the shop floor and OEE by shift, line and reason — with no data entry afterwards.
See the routine Preventive Maintenance RoutinePreventive plan visible on the digital board: what is due today, what is overdue and who did it.
See the routine Action Plan RoutineA living 5W2H: every deviation becomes an action with owner, deadline and automatic escalation.
See the routine Root Cause Analysis RoutineStructured Ishikawa and 5 Whys, linked to the originating deviation and to the action plan.

03 · Digital Visual Management
The cell board, updated by itself.
Cell, area and plant screens show the shift's routine in real time: what was done, what is late, which deviation is open and with whom. With no one printing charts on Monday morning.
Board per cell
The shift's routine, open deviations and owner, updated with every record.
Area screen
Adherence, OEE and action plan rotating automatically across screens.
Daily meeting
The agenda arrives ready: what went off standard and who is handling it.
Gamification
Adherence ranking by shift and by cell to engage the people who execute.
04 · Who operates it
Built for the person at the machine — and for the person accountable for the indicator
Each profile sees only their own routine, in their own language. The operator records in seconds; the manager receives the data ready.
Maintenance
Maintenance technician
Gets the day's preventive task with script and asset history, and records evidence in the field from a phone.
I know what's due today without going to the planning office for paper.
Quality
Quality analyst
Follows SPC, deviations and action effectiveness with the data already consolidated, and spends the time on analysis.
The chart already exists. My job went back to interpreting the process.
05 · How we implement
From first routine on the shift in weeks, not quarters
1
Week 1
Routine diagnosis
Together with your team, we map the critical routines and the controls that live on paper today.
2
Weeks 2–3
Tailored configuration
Forms, authority levels, indicators and visual boards built for your plant.
3
Week 4
Pilot in one cell
Operators trained at the workstation, running the real routine with daily follow-up.
4
Ongoing
Scale and analysis
Expansion by area and ongoing data analysis work with the PMQ+ specialist.
06 · Results
What changes on the shop floor
Illustrative scenarios, built from typical applications of the routines.
Auto parts · machining
Paperless process inspection
Workstation checklist digitized in every cell, with photo evidence and lockout on nonconformity. Batch history finally exists for real.
Food · packaging
OEE logged by the operator
Downtime reasons standardized on the workstation screen and OEE by shift visible on the line board — no closing spreadsheet at month end.
Metalworking · maintenance
Preventive with visual management
52-week plan digitized, with work orders in the field from a phone and an adherence board by team. What is due shows up; what is overdue, too.
Industry 4.0
Transparency and visibility: a concrete step in 4.0 maturity
Industry 4.0 maturity models put visibility — knowing what is happening in the process, right now — before analysis, prediction and autonomy. That is exactly the layer PMQ+ builds: every routine performed becomes data, every data point shows up on the board, and the plant starts seeing itself in real time. Without that foundation, no AI or automation can stand.
- 1 Visibility What is happening on the shop floor, now — without waiting for the closing.
- 2 Transparency Why it is happening: cause, owner and history linked to the deviation.
- 3 Predictive capability What is going to happen: trend and alert before the part goes out of specification.
