How can we see where every production order stands at any time, without paper travellers and spreadsheets?
For Plant and production managers
In short
With your own shop-floor application that tracks every order across all stations, from the warehouse through assembly to final inspection. Operators report progress by scanning, and planning sees bottlenecks immediately. With Creavity, production describes its own process, AI agents build the application, and IT approves it.

The situation
A plant with several departments – pre-treatment, warehouse, assembly, test bay – ran its orders on paper travellers and lists. Where an order stood was only known by asking around, and bottlenecks often showed up once a delivery date was already at risk.
The solution with Creavity
One person from the plant built the application step by step with Creavity, without a development department of their own. Today it covers:
- an order overview with the material flow across all stations
- picking status by barcode scanner
- electronic shelf labels
- bills of materials and a fixed sequence of operations
- staff planning per shift
- analysis of queue and idle times
The result
A plant-wide application with roles and permissions. Built in about two months and more than 700 iterations by a single person from the business side.
From a real project on Creavity, described in general terms: no customer, system or department names. Figures marked "expected" are the business unit’s own estimates, not measured results. Updated: .
More questions
Do we need our own development team for a shop-floor app like this?
No. In this case one person from the plant built the application. The AI agents handle architecture, code and tests; IT reviews and approves it before it goes into operation.
Does it work with scanners and tablets on the shop floor?
Yes. The application runs in the browser on tablets and terminals, and barcode scanners work like a keyboard. In this case electronic shelf labels were connected as well.
