Know what every station on the line is doing.
Model your lines, stations and machines once. Gudz schedules work orders around changeovers, shows WIP at every station, and records scrap, rework and maintenance where they happen, down to the serial number of each unit.
Live WIP
Units waiting and in progress at every station, updated as operators log them.
Changeovers in the plan
Changeover time sits between runs, so the schedule matches the clock.
Scrap logged at the source
Damage, rework and scrap are recorded at the station, with a reason.
A serial for every unit
Each unit carries a serial that records its route, checks and repairs.
From work order to finished unit
The plan and the shop floor share one record, so supervisors see the same numbers operators enter.
- 1
Work order raised
From a sales order, a production plan or a supervisor on the floor.
- 2
Scheduled on a line
Runs are slotted by line capacity, with changeover time between them.
- 3
Material issued
The store issues coils, blanks, parts and tools against the work order.
- 4
Station by station
Operators log good units, rework and scrap on a tablet at each station.
- 5
Checked and serialised
Each unit gets a serial number and passes QC before packing.
- 6
Into stock
Finished units are received, and the run closes with its actual times.
Inside Factory
The whole line on one screen.
Each station shows what it's working on, what's waiting and how fast it's going. When welding slows and units pile up in front of it, the supervisor sees it in the first hour, not at the end of the shift.

A schedule that allows for changeovers.
Plan work orders across lines and shifts. Gudz adds the changeover time between runs and blocks out preventive maintenance, so the plan reflects what the line can actually make.
- Changeover time added between runs
- Preventive maintenance blocked into the plan
- Capacity per line and shift, in units
Defects recorded at the station that found them.
Operators mark each unit good, rework or scrap, with a reason, and every check lands on the unit's serial record, so a repeat fault shows up by station and shift.
- Rework sent back to the right station
- Every unit traced by its serial number

The order of stations each product passes through, with standard times.
Scheduling
Work orders planned by line and shift, with changeover time between runs.
Live WIP
Units waiting, in progress and done at every station, as operators log them.
Rework and scrap
Damage, rework and scrap recorded with a reason at the station that found it.
Serial numbers
A serial on every unit, with its route, checks and repairs attached.
Preventive maintenance
Service plans for every machine, with checklists, spares and history.
Job work and gate passes

Gudz AI in Factory
Ask why the line is behind, and what to do next.
Hyperion reads work orders, station logs and maintenance records and answers in plain words, and Workflows tells the right supervisor when something needs a decision.

Questions about Factory
How is Factory different from Manufacturing?
Manufacturing plans material: BOMs, MRP and production orders. Factory runs the shop floor: lines, stations, machines, schedules and what happens to each unit. Plants with assembly lines usually use both, on the same record.
Do operators need a computer at every station?
No. Operators log output, rework and scrap on an Android tablet or handheld, usually by scanning the unit's serial label. One device can serve more than one station.
How does scheduling handle changeovers?
You set the changeover time for each line and product. When two runs follow each other, Gudz adds that time between them and moves the rest of the plan along, so the schedule matches what the line can do.
