Real-time shop floor visibility for remote manufacturing managers to eliminate rework and delays.
Remote workers in manufacturing can't scale production effectively without physical presence due to communication barriers causing costly rework and delays.
FloorSync provides live video streams from shop floors with overlaid annotations and voice instructions, allowing remote overseers to guide workers instantly. Workers capture issues via mobile app for immediate manager review and approval. This bridges communication gaps, ensuring production scales without on-site presence.
