Deadlines
Next hand-off against its time.
From every stop to the fix.
Albini Groundtruth reads stops, changeovers and starved stations, checks them against your schedule, and turns each gap into a fix.

The problem
The line knows more than the report.
Stops, waits and changeovers happen between the bookings.

Events · proposed
The line tells you before the report does.
Your MES records what was booked. Groundtruth sees the stop nobody logs, then proposes the fix.

- 10:41:30 · Line 2 · Stopped
- 11:20:00 · Station 3 · Starved
- 11:22:40 · Cell 4 · Tugger waiting
Exampleline.stopped
Line 2 has stopped three times since 10:00.
Tell maintenance before the fourth, with the three stop times in hand.
Examplechangeover.long
Line 1 is past its changeover slot.
Stage the next order's material now, before the delay reaches the order behind.
Exampletugger.waiting
A tugger waits at Cell 4 while Station 3 is starved.
Send the tugger to Station 3, before the line has to slow.
