How to retrieve the operator’s data?

The main objective of the Astn’go solution is to help you to monitor and improve production in your plant.

In this improvement process, the operator plays a central role since he is in charge of entering the data into Astn’go and ensuring their accuracy. These data are used in the creation of reports for managers and leaders. These reports are the basis of your analyses to find areas of improvement using Astn’go software.

The consistency and accuracy of the data entered by the operator is time saved for managers to avoid correction or data entry. This time can be used by managers to implement continuous improvement actions in your workshop.

A simple and intuitive human-machine interface

The operator’s primary mission is to meet the production targets set by the shop manager. The question then arises: how to find the necessary time to combine the consistency of the entries and the production objectives?

Astn’go answers this problem with a simple and intuitive software. The interfaces offered to the operator are designed to limit the time spent on data entry.

The solution is designed with streamlined visuals and actions, leaving room for the key indicators and alerts necessary for the smooth running of production. The information is pushed to the operator, he does not need to search for the information he needs to ensure a good production and a good input of the requested elements. The visual alert system warns him when he has to perform an action.

An ergonomic terminal

The ergonomics of the operator’s workstation will also be a determining factor in the time spent on data entry.

If the operator has the appropriate equipment for his environment, it will be easier for him to enter data on Astn’go. An operator who has to move regularly in his work environment must have a mobile data entry device. A means allowing him to carry out the data entry without constraints or obligation to return to his workstation. In this case, the operators are generally equipped with a mobile tablet with sufficient autonomy not to be limited.

If the operator has a fixed workstation, the means of production can be equipped with a touch panel with an articulated arm. The arm makes it easier for the operator to move around, so that he is not hindered during handling and allows him more flexibility in his mobility. The touch screen allows the operator to save time on data entry with a simplified navigation and data entry requiring only a few clicks. The panels proposed by Astn’go have screens that can be adapted to all environments.

Astn’go is a web solution. Therefore, it does not need to be physically installed on your workstations (operator, manager or director). An internet connection is sufficient to access the application.

The web solution has the advantage of reducing the hardware and software interventions of your services on the stations. The demand for resources (RAM, processor, storage space) is much lower with a web solution than with a heavy client installed on your workstations.
