We are excited to announce the release of MATICS Version 4.2, introducing new capabilities designed to strengthen operational governance, improve quality control workflows, and enhance production monitoring.
This release focuses on improving shift management through a structured Shift Handover workflow, enhancing Quality Control processes with second-signature verification and Cockpit integration, expanding Rules automation for production monitoring, and further aligning the Cockpit experience with machine-level views.
These enhancements help production teams maintain operational continuity across shifts, improve quality compliance, and enable faster decision-making directly from the production monitoring interface.
Key Highlights of Version 4.2:
Shift Handover
A new structured shift handover process ensures that open operational items such as tasks, service calls, QC activities, and machine events are reviewed before responsibility is transferred to the next shift. This improves operational continuity, strengthens accountability between teams, and ensures that important production information is not lost during shift transitions.
QC Enhancements & Second Signature Verification
Quality Control workflows have been enhanced with the ability to initiate QC actions directly from the Cockpit interface. In addition, QC tests can now require a second signature verification, allowing team leaders or QA personnel to review and approve test results before completion.
Rules Enhancements
New rule capabilities expand automation options for production monitoring. The Production Progress Threshold rule allows automation to be triggered when production reaches any defined percentage of the unit target. The From Job Activation rule has also been enhanced to support multiple trigger options based on job activation timing and machine production time.
Cockpit Alignment
Cockpit widgets, layouts, and interaction logic have been further aligned with machine-level views and the MATICS Design System. This ensures consistent navigation between monitoring dashboards and machine screens while enabling faster drill-down to operational events.
