Vellrix Systems / OpActs Production

Production issues need owners.
And a record.

Stop assigning fixes through scattered emails, whiteboards, and verbal handoffs. Connect production events to clear ownership, documented action, and follow-through across every shift.

FROM EVENT TO RESOLUTION ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
PRODUCTION / LINE 02

One stop. The whole story.

The signal, the response, and the work that followed.

Downtime event flagged

Connected production source reports a stop beyond the defined threshold.

Acknowledged with context

Shift lead records repeated jams at the infeed.

Follow-up assigned

Maintenance owns the inspection, with a due time and clear next step.

Action completed

Guide adjusted. Work performed and outcome documented.

Event + owner + context + action + timing + outcome
ONE WORKFLOW.
ACROSS YOUR PLANT.
Production Maintenance Quality Shift leadership Continuous improvement
Close the follow-through gap

“I told someone”
is where the
trail goes cold.

The issue was real. The conversation happened. But by the next shift, who owns it, what was tried, and whether it was resolved can be hard to reconstruct.

Give the work a home that lasts longer than the conversation.
01

The email gets buried.

A request is sent, but the owner, due date, and final outcome are scattered across replies.

02

The whiteboard gets erased.

Today's issue disappears from view, along with the context the next investigation might need.

03

The verbal handoff loses detail.

“Maintenance knows about it” leaves the next shift guessing what was assigned and what still needs doing.

01 / ALERT

Surface the event.

Flag the production exception that needs attention.

02 / ACKNOWLEDGE

Capture the context.

Record what happened while the details are fresh.

03 / ACTION

Assign the next step.

Give the work an owner, priority, and due date.

04 / CLOSE

Keep the history.

Document completion and retain the response for review.

Where OpActs goes to work

The problems your plant
keeps chasing.

Start with a recurring issue and define what should happen next. These example workflows are configured around your data, rules, and team.

01 / DOWNTIME & REPEAT STOPS

The line is running again.
Is the underlying issue closed?

A restart can leave follow-up unfinished. Capture the reason for the stop and assign the work needed after production resumes.

Signal
Downtime exceeds a defined threshold.
Response
Supervisor acknowledges the event and records the cause.
Record
Maintenance follow-up, owner, due date, and completion context.
02 / SCRAP & QUALITY LOSSES

The report shows the loss.
Who owns the response?

Bring waste and quality exceptions into a consistent review process, with the explanation and corrective action connected to the original event.

Signal
Scrap or rejects move above your target.
Response
Production or quality reviews the exception and adds context.
Record
Assigned action, work performed, and documented outcome.
03 / SENSORS & PROCESS CONDITIONS

A reading crossed the limit.
What happened after the alert?

Connect available machine and sensor events to a human response, with a record of who checked the condition and what they did.

Signal
Temperature, pressure, vibration, or another value crosses a defined limit.
Response
The responsible person investigates and records findings.
Record
Inspection, adjustment, or follow-up action with ownership.
04 / OUTPUT & PLAN VARIANCE

The shift missed its target.
Don't lose the explanation.

Capture the operational reason behind a missed target and turn the next step into assigned work that can be reviewed.

Signal
Production output falls outside your defined expectation.
Response
The shift lead records the constraint and assigns follow-up.
Record
The variance, explanation, responsible person, and action status.
05 / SHIFT-TO-SHIFT CONTINUITY

The shift ends.
The ownership shouldn't.

Keep unresolved issues, assigned actions, and operating context visible so the next team can pick up the work.

Carry forward
Open issues and the context behind them.
Keep clear
Who owns each action and when it is due.
Review
What was completed and what still needs attention.
Connect the plant you actually have

Many sources.
One accountable workflow.

Bring production events together from the systems, equipment, and people already running your plant. Start with an available source and expand from there.

MES & production systems

Counts, downtime, cycle times, scrap, and performance exceptions.

ERP & operational data

Production reports, orders, schedule variances, and inventory exceptions.

PLCs, SCADA & machines

Available states, alarms, counters, and process values, with an edge gateway where needed.

IoT sensors & monitoring

Available condition readings and threshold events from connected devices.

Databases, files & exports

SQL data, CSV and Excel files, and scheduled production reports.

People & shift context

Operator observations, acknowledgement context, and assigned follow-up.

Connections may use file transfers, database access, available APIs, or edge gateways. Compatibility, setup, and refresh timing are scoped to each source. OpActs works alongside your existing systems.

Build the foundation for AI

Start building the history
you'll wish you had.

AI ambitions raise a practical question: what will your plant actually have to learn from?

Production metrics tell part of the story. The missing context is often what happened next: who responded, what they found, what they did, when they did it, and what followed.

A future AI tool cannot recover operational context that was never recorded.

OpActs helps capture that history as work happens. It supports a foundation for future analysis and AI initiatives. Readiness also depends on data quality, consistency, access, and the use case.

THE CONTEXT WORTH KEEPING
Event What happened, where, and when?
Context What did the team observe or identify?
Ownership Who acknowledged it and owned the next step?
Action What work was assigned and performed?
Timing When was a response needed and completed?
Outcome What result was documented?

Capture it today. Build on it tomorrow.

Start with one production problem

Choose the issue that keeps coming back.
Give the response a system.

We'll map the data source, the people responsible, and the path from event to completed action.

One line. One workflow. A practical place to start.
