Week 28 | 2026
This release introduces three new features: Schedule Capacity planning, Manual Downtime logging, and Reason Trends analysis. It also brings enhancements to the Trend Viewer, Pulse Chart, and Operator Tablet.
New Features
Manual Downtime
Operators can now log downtime manually from the tablet, with a mandatory reason. This is useful for stations where downtime is determined by an operator rather than an automatic signal, or where a machine is still running but under investigation. While a manual downtime is active, all production and utilisation recording is blocked to keep reporting accurate. Rollout is controlled per account via a feature flag.
Schedule Capacity
A new page that shows whether stations are under or over-scheduled at a glance. Accessible from the main menu, it provides a weekly overview with colour-coded capacity cells and CSV export. This feature is currently in development and may be refined based on feedback.
Reason Trends
A new charting capability in the Trend Viewer for analysing Downtime and Non-Production reasons over time. Includes filtering by individual reason, with searchable tree-select for easy navigation.
Improvements
Work Order Search — The Gantt Chart and Schedule List now support searching by work order reference. Toggle between filter mode and search mode to quickly find schedules by their work order ref.
Trend Viewer
Grouped metrics — Metrics are now organised in a searchable tree-select dropdown with icons on group headings, making it easier to find the right metric
OEE enhancements — Updated OEE metric display and axis labelling
Station selection limit — Selection is now limited to 5 stations, with a clear message explaining the limit
Pulse Chart
Grouped metrics — The metrics menu now uses a tree-select dropdown, consistent with the Trend Viewer
Sidebar guide — Removed an outdated reference to retrospective scheduling
Operator Tablet
Station list legend — Added colour indicators to the station list for quick visual reference
Unreported downtime icon — Re-instated the unreported downtime indicator on the tablet
Station details on reason screen — Station information is now shown when providing a downtime reason
PPC Override for Ad-Hoc schedules — Ad-hoc schedules now support parts-per-cycle override
Header styling — Standardised font sizes, spacing, and border radius across tablet headers
Trend Viewer & Pulse Chart
Multi-select — Replaced the close button with a clearer "clear selection" action in metric dropdowns
Production by Schedule
Back button — Added a back button to return to the Schedule List with filters preserved
Downtime Analysis
Percentage bars — The downtime analysis treetable now displays percentage bars for easier visual comparison
Station & SKU Naming
Station Code and Name — Now displayed consistently across all areas of the platform
SKU Code and Name — Now displayed consistently across all areas of the platform
Schedule Upload
Error messages — Clearer, more descriptive error messages when uploading schedules fails
Bug Fixes
