Capture the event once—where the work happens
Replace late, ambiguous production updates with a short event form that knows the order, operation, event type, quantity, reason, time, person, and review path.
The form is not a generic grid of text boxes: identifiers are generated or selected, event types use controlled choices, quantities are numeric, and evidence appears only when the event requires it.
Start with Jodoo’s Free plan for up to five users. No credit card required.
- Fast event selection
- Validated quantities and reason codes
- Review path for holds, scrap, and downtime
Give each production event a clear business meaning
The same form can collect multiple events when their required facts and review rules are explicit.
Start / resume
Order, operation, person, time, line or station
Validate readiness or prior hold disposition where required
Progress / output
Good quantity, remaining context, time, person
Update order progress and expected completion
Scrap
Scrap quantity, reason code, affected operation, evidence
Route by threshold, reason, product, or repeat occurrence
Downtime
Start/end or minutes, reason, equipment context, evidence
Notify the responsible owner and track recovery
Quality hold
Affected quantity, issue, severity, evidence, quality owner
Prevent release until disposition is recorded
Use the shortest control that preserves reliable data
Field type is part of product quality.
Select the order
Use a lookup, dropdown, scan, or context-passed record—not a blank text field for a known identifier.
Choose the event
Use clear radio choices for frequent events and reveal only the fields relevant to that selection.
Validate the facts
Use numeric inputs, dates, required reason codes, range checks, and conditional evidence.
Record the person and time
Prefer signed-in identity and captured timestamps where policy permits; allow correction with traceable review.
Prevent bad production data before it reaches the dashboard
A clean dashboard cannot repair inconsistent events after the fact.
Identifier control
Order and operation references match an authoritative source and remain unique.
Quantity control
Units are explicit; impossible negatives, duplicate submissions, and quantity conflicts are handled.
Reason control
Controlled codes support analysis, while notes capture context without replacing the code.
Timing control
Event time, entry time, shift, and timezone rules are distinguishable.
Review control
Thresholds and sensitive events reach a qualified owner with an auditable decision.
Correction control
Edits preserve who changed what, why, and which downstream records were affected.
Use forms, scans, integrations, and machine data for different jobs
The fastest method is the one that produces reliable data with the least unnecessary work.
Mobile or kiosk form
Reasons, evidence, human decisions, low-frequency production events
Too many fields, shared identities, and poor glove/device ergonomics
Barcode scan
Fast lookup of order, operation, item, asset, or location
Duplicate labels, ambiguous codes, and missing validation after the scan
ERP / MES integration
Existing orders, completions, material moves, and approved master data
Latency, retries, mapping, conflict resolution, and ownership
Machine / IoT source
High-frequency state, count, cycle, and condition signals
Industrial reliability, edge buffering, semantics, and the need for MES/SCADA depth
Collect only what the next decision needs
Start from events and actions, not from a long list of possible fields.
What production data should be collected?
Collect the minimum facts needed to understand progress and act: authoritative order and operation, event type, good and scrap quantities, downtime, reason, time, person, evidence, and review status where applicable.
Can Jodoo scan barcodes?
A scan can identify the relevant order, item, asset, or location before the user completes the event. The workflow should validate the scanned value and write it into the correct record field.
Can the form change by event type?
Yes. Conditional logic can show quantity fields for output, reason and minutes for downtime, or evidence and disposition fields for a quality hold.
Should machine data be entered into Jodoo directly?
High-frequency telemetry usually belongs in an industrial data or MES layer. Send summarized events or actionable exceptions to Jodoo when human ownership and workflow are required.
Make every production event useful beyond the input form
Connect validated operator updates to order status, monitoring thresholds, exception ownership, schedule feedback, and management review.
Test event capture with an operator and a supervisor
Open the populated form, submit normal and exception events, and confirm that the right queue, owner, and production order update without duplicate entry.
