Mechanical DownTime App
Introduction
Section titled “Introduction”The Mechanical DownTime (MDT) application is a mobile solution designed to monitor, report, and escalate machine failures in manufacturing environments. It provides real-time visibility into machine status, response times, and maintenance activities.
Key Features
Section titled “Key Features”- Real-time machine status monitoring
- Failure escalation workflow
- Maintenance response tracking
- Performance statistics and reporting
- Notification system for machine issues
User Interface Components
Section titled “User Interface Components”Dashboard
Section titled “Dashboard”
The dashboard provides an overview of:
- Number of down machines (currently showing 4)
- Average response time (currently 0:0:0)
- List of machines requiring attention with their:
- Machine number
- Line information
- Unit number
Machine Failure Escalation
Section titled “Machine Failure Escalation”
The escalation screen allows users to:
- Select the affected unit (with code and description)
- View line information (code and machine number)
- Mark escalation time for the failure
Reports
