MOLI Production Kiosks

where the physical world meets the digital — at every workcenter

An Elo touchscreen running MOLI: a paper airplane job in production, its rev. 2 work instructions, and a calculator

A kiosk that knows the job.

Paper travelers got you here.

MOLI Production Kiosks get you further.

Most software stops at the screen. MOLI connects to everything at the workcenter — barcode scanners, printers, measurement instruments, sensors, stacklights, and the machine itself — while staying fluent with your ERP, MES, QMS, and other key systems.

The right information at the right place, delivered to the right people at the right time — automatically — integrated. That's the MOLI advantage.

What Operators Can Do at Each Kiosk

Job Management

  • View all jobs assigned to this workcenter at current status
  • Transition job status: Start → In Production → Complete / Interrupt
  • Flag jobs with configurable flags (e.g. black flag, quality hold)
  • View associated items with BOM, drawings, and linked resources
  • Scan a traveler, label, or other barcode to load a job instantly
  • View and resolve Production Notifications for this workcenter

Work Instructions & Training

  • Role-specific, revision-controlled Electronic Work Instructions (EWI)
  • Training verifications with e-signature and operator photo capture
  • Configurable-pass-threshold assessments tied to the job or item
  • Skill matrix awareness — only what this operator is qualified to run
  • Safety data sheets and compliance documents always accessible
  • Arbitrary documents, files, photos, videos — no job context required

Forms & Data Capture

  • Smart forms pre-populated with operator, machine, job, and time
  • Barcode, RFID, and camera scan directly into form fields
  • Metrology data from connected USB/RS-232 instruments or sensors
  • Barcode label printing from any form field or job / item record
  • HELP button — one press escalates to the right supervisor
  • All actions logged with who, what, when, and where

Multi-Session Architecture

Operator Sessions

  • Multiple operators can sign in to the same kiosk
  • Log in by badge scan, barcode, keyfob, or employee ID #
  • Load job; status transitions and work instructions
  • Forms, assessments, and training verifications
  • HELP button always present
  • Full MOLI Toolbox access

Supervisor Overlay

  • Tap to enter — operators stay active
  • View and resolve escalations and notifications
  • Job approvals, overrides, sign-offs
  • Explicit Mode limits scope to this workcenter
  • Session drops away automatically on timeout
  • Credential enrollment (e.g. barcodes, keyfobs)

MOLI Production Kiosk vs. a Typical Web App

  • Workcenter context: knows machines, workcenters, jobs, shift, and operators automatically — a typical web app makes the user navigate and select
  • Identity / authentication: Employee ID, barcode, keyfob, RFID — kiosk-optimized single factor, full MFA when required — instead of username/password with no physical credential integration
  • Concurrent user sessions: operators + inspector + FPC + supervisor simultaneously, no logoff required — instead of a single session where switching users requires a full logout
  • Permission scoping: Explicit Mode constrains permissions to the functionality of the specific location — instead of a user carrying full permissions regardless of where they log in
  • Barcode / RFID integration: native — triggers workflows, populates forms, authenticates users, does lookups
  • Label printing (ZPL): direct ZPL to Zebra printers; direct PDF to most IPP/RAW networked printers — instead of browser print only
  • Metrology / instrument data: USB/RS-232 instruments and sensors write directly into form fields or a dedicated interface — instead of manual transcription
  • Edge Connect peripherals: scanner, RFID/NFC, MSR, audio interface, status light — no cables, powered by the kiosk
  • Device management: EloView / Knox MDM included in the MOLI license

Ready for the hands at every station.

Each MOLI station knows who has signed in: an operator's job loads with its documents, and a visitor's host is told they are here. We fit each one to the work and the hands at it.
