Tasks are often linked to a customer, order, production type, project, or cost center. That is why companies need efficient task assignment and reliable data on the progress of task execution. When an employee has access to a computer, this is relatively simple. A greater challenge arises with teams performing physical work in large facilities, without constant access to a computer workstation. In such situations, TIMATE cards can support work organization, task assignment, and the recording of information needed for further analysis and settlements.
The TIMATE system can be used wherever tasks can be arranged in a defined order. A list of upcoming tasks can be sent automatically to the TIMATE card. Once one task is completed, the next one can appear on the list. On the card display, the employee sees a shortened list of tasks together with the basic information needed to start work.
An employee can start a selected task with a single button and mark its status as “in progress.” After completing it, they move on to the next task, while the previous one receives the appropriate status, for example “completed.” Depending on work organization, it is also possible to temporarily pause a task or mark it as requiring a further decision. Information about task execution progress, its completion time, and status can be transmitted to the system — to the extent resulting from the organization of the process.
A shortened task description can be displayed both on the C3 card screen and on the smaller C2 card screen.
A brief task description is displayed on the card screen, for example the order number and scope of activities. After bringing the card close to an NFC-enabled smartphone, the employee can receive a more detailed task description as well as additional materials, such as instructions, technical documentation, or a list of steps to complete. Depending on the implemented configuration, they may also browse the task list and perform selected actions without needing to use a computer.
Data on task completion times and their statuses can be transferred to controlling systems, reporting systems, or systems supporting customer settlements. The TIMATE system provides an API that helps integrate this information with other solutions used in the company.
If you already use a system for handling tasks, orders, service calls, or routes, or if you are choosing a new solution, see how the TIMATE API works for integration with such systems.
