Industrial Workflows

Use Industrial Workflows to manage different types of tasks in the Industrial Connected Workforce (ICW).

An Industrial Workflow in Industrial Connected Workforce (ICW) refers to a structured process for managing a specific type of an industrial task.

  • Action Management
    Use Industrial Action Management to manage all ad-hoc tasks that don't fit into any of the standard processes. Document activities like following up on a safety incident or updating an Industrial Guided Task (IGT) standard in response to equipment behavior changes.
  • Deviation Management
    A deviation is any type of equipment or work anomaly that has an impact on work safety, performance, or quality. It doesn't necessarily cause a complete outage, but it requires mitigation or resolution. Deviation management is the process of creating, evaluating, resolving, and closing deviations.
  • Breakdown Management
    Breakdown Analysis helps industrial teams investigate and resolve serious equipment failures and process stops. You can either escalate an unresolved deviation or create a breakdown record directly, depending on how the issue is identified. This structured workflow helps timely issue resolution and long-term reliability improvements.
  • Root Cause Analysis
    Use the Industrial Root Cause Analysis to identify the cause of disruptions and help prevent re-occurrences.
