Work with Other Operators at a Workstation

You can check in and check out of a workstation independent of another operator working at the same workstation.

Manufacturing plants that have complex manufacturing processes, such as multiple, intricate steps or heavy equipment for work execution, often require co-ordinated efforts of multiple operators at a workstation. When you check in to a workstation, you can see the other operators that are already checked in and working at the workstation.

After checking in to a workstation, you can also check in your team member if they have been assigned to the workstation by the supervisor. To check in another operator, click Check In against the operator name under Operators. If operator assignments are not enforced for your workstation by the production supervisor, then you can click Check In More Operators to search and select an operator to check in.

Multiple operators can work together at a workstation and the workstation independently tracks the time spent by each operator on the work order operation. When multiple operators are checked in to a workstation, any checked-in operator can perform execution actions, such as reporting quantities and material, performing inspections, and accessing work instruction information. All checked in operators at a workstation must be working towards the same work order operation.

An operator can check out of the workstation during work execution if their work is complete. If you are the last operator to check out, you must pause or stop the work execution before you can check out.
