The Challenge on the Shop Floor

Modern manufacturing plants run on precision — every minute of operator time, every machine cycle, and every production order confirmation matters. Yet many facilities still rely on manual time logs, paper-based confirmations, or siloed systems that never speak to their ERP. The result: delayed data, blind spots in efficiency, and supervisors who only discover problems after the damage is done.

Artificio was built to eliminate this gap. Its mobile-first production order management solution connects the shop floor directly to SAP, capturing operation time in real time, triggering smart alerts, and keeping every stakeholder informed — automatically.

Check-In & Check-Out — Two Ways to Capture Time

At the heart of the solution is Artificio's dual-mode time capture interface. Operators can record their start and end times for a production operation using whichever method suits them best.

Both methods trigger the same outcome: the exact check-in and check-out timestamps are recorded by the system and sent directly to SAP for the corresponding production order operation.

Real-Time SAP Integration SAP Connected

Once an operator checks in or out, the data doesn't sit in a local database waiting for a nightly batch sync. Artificio pushes the operation time record to SAP in real time, posting the confirmation against the correct production order and operation.

This live data flow means production controllers and planners always see an accurate picture of where each order stands — without chasing operators for paper forms or waiting for end-of-shift updates.

Tracking Operator Efficiency

With accurate check-in and check-out data flowing continuously, Artificio builds a rich picture of operator performance over time. The platform compares planned operation time against actual runtime for every order and every operator.

• Individual efficiency ratio per operator per shift
• Trend analysis across days, weeks, and production runs
• Machine vs. operator time separation
• Order-level variance reporting
• Cross-line and cross-plant benchmarking
• Progress percentage tracked in real time

Smart Alerts — Catch Problems Before They Cascade

One of Artificio's most impactful features is its proactive notification engine. The system continuously monitors the ratio of work completed against the planned timeline. When an operation starts falling behind, it doesn't wait for a human to notice.

Alerts are sent to the relevant supervisor — by email or push notification — giving them time to intervene, reallocate resources, or adjust the downstream schedule before a delay becomes a missed delivery.

Operation Confirmation & Goods Receipt

Artificio's mobile screens go beyond time recording. Operators and production staff can perform the full range of SAP confirmation activities directly from their device — without needing SAP GUI access.

• Operation confirmation against production orders
• Goods receipt against completed production orders
• Partial quantity confirmations
• Scrap and rework quantity capture
• Yield confirmation with batch tracking
• All screens fully optimized for mobile

Every confirmation posts instantly to SAP, keeping inventory balances, WIP values, and order statuses accurate in real time — without end-of-day data entry bottlenecks.

Quality Notifications — Defects Logged, Teams Notified Instantly

Quality issues on the production floor need to be captured the moment they're discovered — not reconstructed from memory at the end of a shift. Artificio enables operators to create SAP Quality Notifications directly from the shop floor screen, right alongside their production confirmation workflow.

Once a quality notification is created, Artificio immediately triggers email notifications to the relevant personnel — quality engineers, production supervisors, or plant managers — depending on the defect type, severity, or production area. No manual routing, no missed alerts.

Why This Matters for Your Plant

The combination of real-time time capture, SAP integration, proactive alerting, and quality notification creates a closed-loop production tracking system that was previously only achievable with expensive, complex MES deployments.

Artificio delivers it through a mobile-friendly, operator-first interface that requires minimal training — because it's built around the way people on the shop floor actually work. Drag to confirm. Tap to check in. Swipe to raise a quality notification. Everything else happens automatically.

The data flows to SAP. The right people get notified. And production managers finally have the visibility they need to run a leaner, more responsive operation.
