Work order and routing tracking
Track every job through each operation and work center, from raw material release to finished part.
Discrete
Track work orders and machine performance across complex assembly.
Discrete manufacturers and job shops run complex fabrication and assembly work where every job is a little different. Essembi tracks work orders and machine performance without forcing your process into a rigid template.
Where Essembi Pays Off
Where Essembi pays off on your shop floor.
The specific ways discrete manufacturers put Essembi to work, from the work order to the shop floor.
Machine and cell performance monitoring
See real time OEE, downtime, and cycle time by machine, cell, or work center.
In process and final quality checks
Run first article inspection, in process dimensional checks, and final inspection tied directly to each work order.
Scan to confirm correct material and tooling
Scan components, tooling, or fixtures to confirm they match the work order before production starts.
Setup and changeover tracking
Track setup and changeover time by job and machine to find where changeovers are eating capacity.
Multi cell production scheduling
Keep jobs in sync across cells and work centers, and easily push back production on delayed jobs.
Before Essembi
Machine downtime nobody can explain after the fact
A cell sits idle between jobs or a machine goes down mid run, and without a record of what happened and for how long, that lost capacity just disappears into the shift with no way to fix it.
With Essembi
Idle time and downtime visible by machine and cell
Essembi tracks performance and downtime by machine and cell in real time, so lost capacity gets identified and addressed instead of quietly repeating job after job.
Everything Included
Every capability, included, down to the details.
No add-on modules, no separate logins, and no ceiling to grow into — every plan includes the full platform.
Production
- OEE Tracking Real time availability, performance, and quality by line, shift, and job.
- Production Scheduling One calendar for jobs, changeovers, and maintenance, not three disconnected systems.
- Unlimited Sensors on the Line A sensor after every key machine, not the one or two most platforms limit you to.
- Machine & PLC Integration Pull data directly from the equipment you already have on the floor.
- Bulk Scale Weight Capture Track bulk production rooms through connected scales, not a clipboard.
- Scan to Confirm Material Scan incoming material or components to confirm they belong on the job before production starts.
- Changeover & Centerlining Set and hold consistent machine set points by product and line, and track changeover time by job.
- Automatic Downtime Capture Stops are logged and associated with the right component automatically, no manual entry required.
Quality & Safety
- Customizable Quality Forms Build the exact in process checks your product and process require.
- CAPA & Corrective Actions Structured corrective action from root cause to verification, tracked to closure.
- Digital Batch Records An accurate, timestamped record of the process as it actually happened.
- Safety Incident & Near-Miss Tracking Capture incidents and near-misses in the same platform as production and quality.
Maintenance
- Work Order Management Create, assign, and track work orders from any device on the floor.
- Preventive & Corrective Maintenance Scheduled PMs and reactive repairs, tied to the assets that need them.
- Asset Health Tracking MTTR, MTBF, and maintenance cost by asset, not buried in a spreadsheet.
Workforce
- RFID Labor Tracking Badge on, badge off labor costing by job and formula, no tablets or logins required.
- Connected Workforce & Huddles Shift huddles, recognition, and skills tracking built into daily workflow.
- ERP Work Order Integration Jobs flow in from the ERP you already run, instead of getting re-keyed by hand.
AI
- AI Production Summaries AI reads thousands of data points a shift and tells you what actually matters.
- AI OEE Analysis AI reviews the components behind a score and explains what drove it, with suggestions to improve.
- Ask AI Any Question Plain language questions about your own data, answered in seconds, with follow ups.
- AI Pre-Job Briefing Operators get job history, downtime patterns, and trends to watch before the job starts.
Platform
- Native Dashboards & Drill-Downs Built in analytics and trend analysis, no separate BI tool required.
- Device Agnostic Runs on any device on the floor, phone, tablet, or laptop, not just an iPad.
- Vision & Camera Integration Tie camera footage directly to the moment a quality or safety event occurred.
- Advanced Customization Configured around how your process actually runs, not a rigid template.
- Cloud-Native SaaS No servers to manage and no expensive on-prem infrastructure to maintain.
