Real-Time Data (SMS TECH) And Project Summary

Most tier-1 and OEM manufacturers are still running their high-tech assembly lines on low-tech paper job cards.

This creates massive blind spots, slow defect responses, and heavy administrative waste.

At SMS Technology, we challenge that norm.

Our cloud-based shop floor software digitises your entire production history into live, actionable data. Operators capture offline-ready inspection details, photos, and CAD defect mark-ups straight from their mobile devices, feeding real-time tracking dashboards instantly.

We essentially replace paper clipboards with total process traceability. The result for our clients is faster fault resolution, zero compliance escape risks, and a massive reduction in scrap and carbon waste.

We turn hidden shop floor friction into clear operational control.

Process History Tool Summary

SMS Technology’s Process History tool is a digital platform designed to completely replace paper job cards and history cards on the manufacturing shop floor. It digitises the entire assembly and inspection sequence into live, actionable manufacturing data.

The platform follows a core five-step framework:

Build

Users create custom, controlled electronic forms for End of Line, dispatch, ad-hoc tracking, and faults using diverse inputs like barcode scanning and geolocation.

Capture

Operators input inspection data via mobile apps (iOS/Android) or web browsers, operating fully in both online and offline factory zones.

Analyse

The interface utilises drag-and-drop mechanics to build customised performance charts, filters, and conditional formatting metrics.

Review

High-level dashboards provide instant project overviews, exportable PDF reports, and VIN-level traceability to map a product's full production life cycle.

Train

Built-in long-form and bite-sized videos ensure operators learn process updates independently on the shop floor.

Key Benefits

Complete Product Traceability

Auto-captures timestamps, user identities, duration tracking, and strict form revision controls.

Deep Defect Insights

Maps digital defect hotspots over interactive CAD drawings while maintaining live fault tracking tables.

Sustainability & Efficiency

Drives zero-paper initiatives to reduce manufacturing waste, scrap rates, and print emissions.
