Key Takeaways
-
Don't Settle for "Mobile-Friendly": A responsive website isn't an app. You need a Native App that uses the phone’s camera, push notifications, and local storage.
-
Offline Mode is Mandatory: Factories have WiFi dead zones. If the app spins and crashes when the internet drops, it is useless. The app must buffer data and sync later.
-
The Camera is the Sensor: The biggest advantage of mobile is the camera. Use it to scan QR codes for asset ID and record video clips of machine failures.
-
Push > Pull: Desktop software requires you to check it. Mobile apps alert you. The best OEE apps push "Line Down" notifications to your pocket instantly.
