Key Benefits
Consistent Execution With Standard Work
Standardized processes are in the workflow so teams can execute, verify, and improve in real time with audit‑ready tracking.
Every single operator, every shift, every team on site follows the same validated workflows. Consistency creates quality — and audit-readiness.
GxP Compliant Daily Execution
Built-in audit trails, electronic signatures, and version control meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EMA Annex 11, and GAMP® 5 requirements — out of the box.
No More Information Silos
Data from ERP, MES, LIMS, and other systems is integrated into one shared, real-time view. Your teams see the big picture, not just a snapshot
Visual Rounds: Gemba Walks, SPC, Process Confirmations
Digitize Gemba Walks, Statistical Process Control checks, and process confirmations. Capture observations with context — photos, timestamps, notes, and location data.
Mobile, Self-Configurable Checklists
Run checklists directly on the shopfloor and on any mobile device. Configure and update checklists without IT support, no revalidation required for layout changes.
Features
AI-Powered Deviation Insights
SAMI surfaces high-variance steps, recurring deviations, and execution patterns from your documented checklist data — enabling data-driven continuous improvement.
Full Built-In Traceability
Every action is logged with user, timestamp, and context. Full traceability for inspections and internal audits.
Visual Rounds With Photo Capture
Document observations during Gemba Walks, Satistical Process Control Checks or process confirmations with photos, notes, and automatic timestamps. Link findings directly to improvement workflows.
More Features
Execution & Tracking
Operators run mobile checklists (6S, line clearance, e‑logs), link anomalies to CAPAs or maintenance, and handoff to QA/QC with a complete history, ensuring no duplicate entry.
Workflow Management
Leaders can review results in real time, adjust or update standard work templates quickly, and have automated actions whenever a defined condition occurs.
Template Management & Scheduling
From standardized tasks to production plans, schedules and resources are in the same system supervisors use to coach and escalate.
Analysis & CI
Deviations from standard processes surface instantly; high‑volume records become automatic KPIs (OEE waterfalls, loss trees) instead of laborious manual counts—fueling daily improvement.

Standard Work is
Part of Shiftconnector®
Standard Work is not an isolated tool, but an integral part of the Shiftconnector® Intelligent Operations Platform.
Together with pillars such as Visual Management, OEE & Performance Reporting, or Continuous Improvement, it creates a continuous flow of information — from individual tasks to strategic decisions.
360° connectivity seamlessly integrates ERP, MES, and process historians into a common operational context.
A Look Into the Engine Room
Shiftconnector® integrates into your existing IT landscape, making it even more intelligent and efficient.
360 ° Connectivity
Fragmented OT/IT systems—MES, LIMS, QMS, ERP/CMMS, and historians—force teams to reconcile data by hand, slowing decisions and weakening traceability.
Shiftconnector® Intelligent Operations Platform unifies these sources into one audit‑ready operational timeline, giving production, quality, maintenance, and engineering the right information, at the right time.
SAMI – Shiftconnector® Artificial Manufacturing Intelligence
Critical production knowledge is documented, but buried in logs, reports, and systems? The problem: When issues arise, finding the right information takes too long.
SAMI makes your documented knowledge instantly accessible. The AI-powered assistant understands your production context and retrieves relevant information in seconds - from the root-causes of incidents to proven solutions.
