This week's release is focused on making day-to-day production work smoother for planners, supervisors, and operators. Teams should see clearer scheduling information, better continuity in labor tracking, and fewer workflow interruptions in the ShopPulse Interface.

What's new​

Smoother production and labor workflows​

  • Operators can move through job start and confirmation flows with fewer handoff issues, helping labor tracking stay aligned with machine activity from start to finish.
  • Labor tracking is now more consistently tied to the machine where work is being performed, improving downstream reporting and accountability.
  • For teams managing complex runs, production workflows now better support split and merge scenarios, with clearer run context during execution.

Better schedule visibility and planning confidence​

  • In Dispatch Schedule, selecting an operation in the Unscheduled column now opens work order details directly, so planners can review context faster.
  • Capacity Utilization now reflects queued upcoming work more accurately, which improves planning decisions for the current and upcoming shifts.
  • Corrected part counts submitted through labor workflows are now handled correctly in Dispatch Schedule totals.

ShopPulse Interface usability improvements​

  • Custom tab summaries now preload correctly, so operators can see key information without extra clicks.
  • Error messaging in ERP-related workflows is more readable, making it easier to troubleshoot and recover quickly.
  • In-app status links now route users to their environment-specific status page, making it faster to verify platform health when issues arise.
  • Additional stability fixes reduce edge-case interruptions in active production workflows.

Why this matters​

Taken together, these updates help reduce friction between planning and execution: schedules are easier to trust, operators get clearer context at the machine, and labor data stays better aligned with real production activity. The result is faster decisions on the floor and fewer manual corrections after the fact.
