Product changeovers and tool changes
The same sequence on every shift, with the settings shown on screen instead of remembered.
Changeovers, setting and cleaning done the same way by every operator
A lot of machinery incidents happen outside normal running, while someone is setting, cleaning, clearing a blockage or changing a tool. Subtilitas puts the safe way to do those jobs on the machine itself, with a photo of each guard, isolator and setting.
Where it helps on the shop floor
Clearing blockages
Isolate first, every time, with the isolation points photographed on the guide.
New operators
Agency and new staff can follow the steps on day one while a supervisor checks the result.
Shared tablets
Leave a tablet by the line. Operators pick their name from a list and enter a PIN if you want one.

Questions from manufacturing teams
See pricing, or read about Subtilitas for maintenance, demolition, renewables and shipyards.
Can one machine carry several guides?
Yes. One machine can carry several guides, such as the changeover, the daily check and clearing a blockage, and the operator picks the job after scanning.
Can operators share a tablet on the line?
Yes. Leave a tablet by the line. Operators pick their name from a list and enter a PIN if you want one, so each sign-off is still in their name.
