Custom Workflows, Reporting & Alerts
Our team builds the reports, alerts, Andon boards and operator workflows your plant needs beyond the standard set, and changes them as your operation changes.
Plants run on the reports people read
Take the report that runs the morning meeting, the one the division manager reads before breakfast and that decides where the engineers go today. Off-the-shelf software usually produces something close to it, and close means someone re-keys it into a spreadsheet before the meeting.
10in6 ships with 30+ standard reports, and they cover most daily needs. We configure the rest for you: your KPIs, your layout, your distribution list, your Monday-morning "Big 5 downtime reasons" review.
Reports, alerts, boards, and workflows
Custom Reports & Dashboards
- Your KPIs, over whatever mix of data and time period you need
- Automated delivery by email at shift end, daily, or weekly
- Built on the same SQL Server database BI tools can query
Alert Logic
- Limit, trend and rate-of-change triggers, plus an alert when a line stops sending data
- Sent to email, SMS or the Andon board
- Routed by line and shift to the person who handles it
- Passed up to the next level when nobody acknowledges
Andon Boards & Displays
- Real-time production status, OEE, and active alerts on wall-mounted screens
- Display rotations that mix production data with HR announcements, quality notices and one-point lessons
- Custom screen layouts and operator views per line
Workflow Configuration
- Enforce specific process steps in the operator's flow
- Custom entry screens matched to how each line works
- Bridges into process controls and error-proofing when a workflow needs teeth
Duty Relief Program traceability and reporting
For Canadian manufacturers operating under the Duty Relief Program, custom reporting connects CBSA transaction data, supplier lots, production batches, scrap, and export records into the four monthly Excel reports needed to support DRP recordkeeping: Diversion, Import Summary, Inventory, and Sales & Export.

Reporting & alerts questions
- Are custom reports a separate project, or part of the service?
- Most report requests are handled through the ongoing service relationship: you tell your 10in6 project manager what you need, and it gets built or adjusted. Larger builds, like a multi-system compliance reporting package, are scoped up front. Either way, nobody on your team has to learn a report builder.
- Can we build our own reports on top of 10in6 data?
- Yes. All production data lives in a structured SQL Server database you can query, and BI tools like Power BI can connect directly. Many customers use 10in6's automated reports for daily operations and their own analysis on top for special projects.
- What kinds of conditions can trigger an alert?
- Almost anything the system can see: a threshold being crossed, a trend moving toward a limit, a rate of change, or the absence of data, such as a line that should be reporting but isn't. Alerts deliver by email, SMS, or Andon board, and route to specific people, teams, shifts, or lines.
- What happens if nobody responds to an alert?
- Escalation rules take over. If an alert goes unacknowledged for a defined period, it escalates to the next person or level you've configured, so a critical condition doesn't sit unread in someone's inbox at 2 a.m.
- How fast can a new report or alert be turned around?
- It depends on scope, but many requests never become a formal project: your project manager makes the adjustment or points you to an existing report that already does what you need. There are 30+ standard reports out of the box, and customers are often surprised how much is already there.
