never miss a problem on your shop floor again
without alerts, small problems become big roadblocks
On a busy shop floor, problems rarely announce themselves. A machine goes down, an operator gets stuck, or a quality check fails. But if no one sees it in time, you lose valuable hours, waste materials, and risk late shipments. Without a reliable alert system in place, issues are often discovered too late:
✘ Critical problems go unnoticed until it's too late
✘ Delays cascade from one job to the next
✘ Operators waste time waiting for supervisor decisions
✘ Small issues escalate into missed deadlines or rework
✘ Teams are constantly reacting instead of preventing problems
With real-time visibility, digital checkpoints, and built-in alerts, Quantum helps your team stop errors before they start. Whether a machine goes down, orders go off track, assets expire or non-conformances interrupt, Quantum makes it easy to keep your shop in focus and prevent problems.
alerts with Quantum
Move beyond production surprises to knowing what's happening on the floor as it happens.
real-time notifications
Stay ahead of the problems with instant alerts that go directly to the right people. Instead of waiting for someone to notice an issue on the shop floor, Quantum immediately flags it, whether it's downtime, a late job, or a failed inspection. Notifications are visible on dashboards, devices, and within workflows, so no one loses time chasing down updates.
configurable triggers
No two shops are alike. Quantum let's you decide what's alert-worthy for your team. Triggers can be set for production delays, failed inspections, low materials, downtime and more unique to your process. Get alerts directly in Quantum or emailed in intervals. This flexibility ensures you're not overwhelmed with noise, you only get alerted to what impacts production.
cross-team visibility
An alert isn't helpful if it dies in one person's inbox. Quantum makes alerts visible across teams, ensuring operators, supervisors, and managers can all see what's happening. Problems can be acknowledged, escalated, and resolved collaboratively, keeping everyone aligned and reducing the chance of bottlenecks.
what's possible with Quantum
proactive problem solving
Instead of discovering issues after they've caused delays, your team gets real-time visibility into what's happening as it happens. This reduces downtime, prevents rework, and helps production stay on track without hiccups. When problems are caught and resolved before they impact delivery, your customers see the difference, translating directly into stronger relationships and repeat business.
continuous improvement
Alerts provide the data you need to respond effectively, not just "something's wrong", but context around the job, operator, and machine involved. Over time, alerts data highlights recurring issues and bottlenecks. By analyzing patterns like frequent machine downtime, repeated quality failures, or specific materials running short, you can address root causes and strengthen your process permanently.

a single system for production operations
Quantum is a powerful, data-driven manufacturing execution system (MES) platform that helps you control production from the shop floor so you can run your business. By digitizing and connecting your manufacturing operations, Quantum enables you to:
- Increase visibility into every stage of production
- Reduce costly delays and rework
- Drive efficiency with paperless workflows
- Gain real-time control over inventory, quality, and scheduling

production control
Manage every job on your shop floor on-time without opening a spreadsheet or tracking down a routing. Control the flow of production with job control, priority rules, and live feedback from the floor. Whether you have one big job or 1,000s all at once, Quantum keeps everything running on time and in order.
With Quantum, supervisors don't waste hours chasing down updates or reporting jobs manually, changes work their way through the system automatically. Production stays aligned with delivery commitments, even when urgent jobs or last-minute changes hit. The result: fewer delays, smoother workflows, and higher on-time delivery rates without overwhelming your supervisors. A piece of mind knowing every job is tracked, controlled, and completed profitably.
digital work instructions
Deliver step-by-step instructions directly to operators, customized by part, shift, or line. Attach videos, images, diagrams, text and alternate instructions. Quantum ensures standardized processes and faster training with dynamic, visual documentation. Instead of relying on outdated paper packets or institutional knowledge, operators always have the most current version of instructions at their fingertips. Updates push instantly to the floor, eliminating confusion, wasted work, and costly rework.
Operators work with greater confidence and accuracy, which reduces scrap, accelerates onboarding, and keeps production consistent across every shift. Quantum transforms training and compliance from a burden into a strength.
process tracking
Manage every step of the processes you are running on your shop floor, whether it's a simple routing, a job packet or a complex set of integrated process steps. With Quantum, your team always knows the status of each order—no spreadsheets, no guesswork. Every handoff, approval, and milestone is tracked in real time. Managers can quickly spot bottlenecks, operators know what's next, and leadership has full visibility into progress and profitability.
That means better visibility, faster problem-solving, and the ability to hit deadlines without relying on manual updates. Quantum ensures nothing gets lost in the shuffle, even on your busiest production days.
product & process setup
Design your products and build the processes to manufacture them from simple job steps to complex, multi-stage routings. Whether you need basic work instructions or detailed engineering-driven workflows, this is where production begins. Setups that once took weeks can be digitized, tested, and launched quickly in Quantum. Your engineering team can define processes once, then scale them seamlessly across parts, job, and lines.
Quantum ensures that every new product launch or process update starts right the first time, cutting down trial-and-error costs and getting you into production faster. Consistency and repeatability becomes built-in, not an afterthought.
quality control
Demand complete compliance with your processes and your audit requirements. Reallocate work automatically or on-demand with the touch of a button. Capture quality checks, specs, and nonconformances as they happen. Quantum helps enforce quality gates and instantly flags issues—before they hit the customer. Because Quantum integrates quality checks directly into production workflows, quality becomes proactive instead of reactive. Issues are flagged early, so teams can respond immediately rather than after defects pile up.
This reduces rework, improves customer satisfaction, and protects your reputation while making audits simple and stress-free. Quantum ensures quality isn't just inspected, it's built into everything you produce.

alerts
Ensure every member of your shop can communicate with the right team(s) without wandering around. Get real-time alerts for production delays, tool expirations, missed scans, and more. Send alerts or just leave notes for future shifts. With Quantum, your team can act fast—before small issues become big problems. Instead of relying on radios, sticky notes, or word-of-mouth, Quantum keeps communication instant, visible, and logged. Operators, supervisors, and leadership all stay aligned without stepping away from their work.
Instant communication means fewer bottlenecks, quicker recoveries, and a more connected shop floor that runs smoothly across every shift. It's like having a built-in notification system for your shop floor.
production insights
Get an immediate view of the work on the shop floor and its progress towards completion. Make your factory smarter with tools from design through automated data capture. Get the data you need when and how you need it with the touch of a button. Quantum does all the heavy-lifting for you as you do your daily work, gathering real-time data from every corner of your shop, turning it into actionable insights you can use to reduce waste, improve flow, and maximize throughput.
