Shop-floor Capture & Daily Production Report
Production, downtime and rejection captured from the floor, DPR on WhatsApp every night.
Captures production output, downtime, rejections and manpower from operators (WhatsApp/tablet/voice) or machine counters, and auto-generates the Daily Production Report with OEE, plan-vs-actual and reasons for loss.
Nightly
auto DPR to WhatsApp
Live
OEE & plan-vs-actual
60–80%
less manual logging
The impact
A reliable daily production report and live OEE without paper logs or someone compiling Excel at 9 PM.

Who it's for
- Plants compiling the DPR by hand in Excel each night
- Owners flying blind on real OEE and loss reasons
- Factories wanting shop-floor data without complex MES
- Operators who won’t use anything beyond WhatsApp/tablet
What you get
- WhatsApp/tablet/voice capture of output, downtime and rejection
- Machine-counter/PLC count integration where available
- Auto-computed OEE and plan-vs-actual by line/shift
- Nightly Daily Production Report to WhatsApp and dashboard
- Downtime and rejection loss-trend analysis
The pipeline
How it works, end to end.
Every step is built, benchmarked, and wired into your stack. Here is exactly what happens.
Capture at source
Operators log output, downtime, rejections and reasons via WhatsApp/tablet/voice, or counts come from machine counters/PLC.
Validate
The AI sanity-checks entries (impossible counts, missing downtime reasons) and prompts for fixes in real time.
Compute metrics
It calculates OEE (availability × performance × quality), plan-vs-actual and top loss reasons by line/shift.
Generate DPR
A Daily Production Report is auto-built and sent to owner/managers on WhatsApp and dashboard each night.
Trend losses
Recurring downtime and rejection causes are trended so improvement projects target the real bottleneck.
Human checkpoint
Supervisors confirm the shift log; corrections are tracked and feed the next day’s plan.

Before & after
What changes once it ships.
DPR hand-compiled at 9 PM, arrives next afternoon
Trustworthy DPR auto-sent to WhatsApp every night
Real OEE loss (30–40%) invisible and uncosted
Live OEE exposes the true bottleneck to fix
Operators skip clunky logging, data is patchy
Capture via WhatsApp/voice, so the data actually flows
Why it matters
The business case
In most SME plants the DPR is compiled by hand in Excel at 9 PM, arrives the next afternoon, and is too unreliable to act on, so genuine OEE losses (often 30–40% of capacity) stay invisible and uncosted. That hidden loss is effectively a machine you paid for and don’t use. Capturing output, downtime and rejection at source and auto-building a trustworthy DPR with live OEE every night exposes the real bottleneck, and even a few points of OEE recovered on a costly line is lakhs of extra output without new capex.
FAQ
Shop-floor Capture & Daily Production Report: your questions, answered.
Do operators need to learn new software?+
No. They can report on WhatsApp or a simple tablet form, even by voice in their own language. There’s nothing complex to learn, which is why the data actually gets entered.
What is OEE and will this calculate it?+
OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) combines availability, performance and quality into one health number for a machine or line. The system computes it automatically from captured production, downtime and rejection data.
Can it read machine counters instead of manual entry?+
Yes, where counters/PLC tags exist we read counts directly and only ask operators for context like downtime reasons, reducing both effort and errors.
What does the Daily Production Report contain?+
Plan-vs-actual output, OEE, downtime with reasons, rejection/rework, and manpower, by line and shift, delivered to your WhatsApp and dashboard each night, so you start the next day informed.
Can we link this to costing and despatch?+
Yes. Production and rejection data can feed costing (actual vs standard) and signal finished-goods readiness for dispatch, connecting the shop floor to your Tally and order flows.
