Shift Handoff Intelligence

Structured handoffs grounded in production data. Incoming supervisors start with facts, not assumptions.

Shift Boundaries Are Where Context Gets Lost

Every shift transition is an information transfer problem. What failed, what was flagged, what was left unresolved, which machine is running poorly. Verbal handoffs compress and lose detail. Written logs depend on the discipline of the person leaving. The incoming supervisor starts partially blind and spends the first twenty minutes of their shift reconstructing what happened on the prior one.

Automated Shift Summary

EKAS generates a structured shift briefing from confirmed production data: machines flagged, downtime events, OEE vs target, open quality issues, unresolved alerts. Generated from data — not manually compiled.

Supervisor Confirmation

The outgoing supervisor reviews the EKAS-generated summary, adds context where needed, and confirms. The confirmed handoff becomes the incoming supervisor's structured starting point. Information transfer is complete and documented.

Searchable Record

Every shift handoff is logged and queryable. Ask 'What was flagged on second shift three weeks ago?' and receive a grounded, sourced answer — not a search through paper logs.

Before

Outgoing supervisor writes shift notes if time permits. Incoming supervisor asks around to find out what happened. Critical context is lost at every shift boundary. The same problems recur because there is no institutional record of what was tried.

After

EKAS generates the briefing from confirmed production data. Outgoing supervisor confirms. Incoming supervisor starts informed. Every shift boundary is documented, searchable, and part of the operational record.
