Work-in-Progress Visibility
InThing delivers comprehensive intelligence for work-in-progress across manufacturing and assembly operations, giving teams a live view of jobs, bins, parts, tools, and travelers as they move through each stage.
The platform turns fragmented handoffs into real-time operational awareness, helping upstream and downstream teams understand what has arrived, what is delayed, what is waiting, and what needs action next.
See every moving piece in context
Work-in-progress is rarely just material on a line. It is a dynamic flow of jobs, containers, components, equipment, and process documents that must stay synchronized to keep production moving.
Kitting
Create location hierarchy for Production Line - line number, workstation, etc. Create different classes (categories) of materials, tools and equipment
Assembly
Assemble kits of materials for specific work order Tag the 'traveler' documents and associate it with the work-order
Pick for Production line
Use Visium Mobile on a Passive RFID handheld reader to find: Materials matching the line-item specification Fulfill production work order and goods issue transactions
Delivery to Workbench
Get an automated record of delivery Detect wrong work order materials and alert supervisors Job delays due to missing items, alerts
Worker Productivity
Time spent at assigned workbenches/areas Total cycle time association to work order and line item Work order completion time and delays
01 / Observe
Capture Movement
Continuously monitor work-in-progress entities as they enter, exit, queue, and advance across manufacturing stages.
02 / Understand
Build Operational Context
Combine location, stage, timing, and workflow context so teams know exactly what each job or asset is waiting on.
03 / Act
Drive Downstream Action
Share actionable intelligence to downstream operations so planners, supervisors, and line teams can respond before delays compound.
Real-time intelligence for downstream operations
As materials and work units move through fabrication, kitting, assembly, test, and pack-out, the platform shares live signals with downstream teams. That means fewer blind handoffs, faster response to shortages or delays, and better coordination between production, material handling, quality, and fulfillment.
Typical outcomes
- Reduced time spent searching for WIP, tools, and associated travelers.
- Earlier detection of stalled jobs, missing parts, and stage bottlenecks.
- Better sequencing and readiness for downstream operations.
- More reliable execution through real-time, shared operational truth.
