Synovate

Synovate is an industrial operations management platform designed to monitor, manage, and analyze manufacturing processes in real time.

The system is used by production leaders and operators to track production runs, monitor equipment performance, collect quality control data, and analyze operational efficiency across multiple production lines.

Main Features

Production Run Management

Synovate allows operators to manage production runs, recording information such as:

• Production line
• Shift
• Product being manufactured
• Start and end time
• Target production vs actual production
• Waste generated

This enables supervisors to evaluate line performance and identify operational issues.

Shift Monitoring

The platform provides dashboards and reports that allow supervisors to monitor production performance per shift, including:

• Output
• Downtime
• Waste levels
• Production targets vs results

Quality Assurance Forms

Operators complete dynamic QA forms during production runs. These forms are generated from configurable master data and may include:

• Header fields with general information
• Detail rows for measurements and observations
• Image attachments for quality evidence

Image Management

The system supports uploading and managing images associated with operational records. Images are stored as independent documents and linked to entities such as QA forms or events.

Features include:

• Image previews
• Upload validation
• Thumbnail generation
• Image deletion with synchronization

Master Data Management

Synovate includes configurable master data entities such as:

• Areas
• Lines
• Sublines
• Equipment
• Items
• Shifts

These entities support dynamic attributes, allowing administrators to add or remove fields without modifying the database schema.
