SEE THE PRODUCT IN ACTION
A line is behind.
What happens next?
Follow four actual product views: from a production gap to the evidence, recovery options and the human decision. Screens show a demo environment; recommendations are reviewed against current records.
The Factory Constraint Map
Bring shared materials, affected lines and downstream exposure into one view. Follow the evidence before choosing a response.

WHY MAGICWAND?
Connect the plan,
the factory floor
and the next decision.
See how production performance, material readiness, workforce coverage and delivery risk affect each other—then review a response with the evidence in view.
01 / THE CONNECTED FACTORY
The whole shift.
A connected operating view.
MagicWand connects the records and workflows behind production, so the plan, the floor and the next action share the same context.
See production as it happens
Follow line output against the shift plan. Review machine state, open issues and source-level confidence from the Live Line Board.
Live production monitoring ↗Plan work around reality
Schedule work orders across lines and shifts. Bring capacity, maintenance, employee planning and the order backlog into view.
Production planning ↗Keep the details connected
Track material availability, reservations, lots and bills of materials alongside quality issues, packaging and dispatch workflows.
Material readiness ↗02 / FACTORY INTELLIGENCE
From “we’re behind”
to “here’s what’s next.”
Understand the shift-end outlook, trace the production gap and review the interventions that could help recover it.
↗
See risks before the shift ends
Shift Outlook surfaces expected output, likely missed orders and scenario ranges, with confidence shown.

What is MagicWand?
MagicWand is a web-based manufacturing execution system (MES) with factory intelligence tools. It brings production monitoring, work orders, scheduling, materials, quality and recovery workflows into a connected operational view.
Who is MagicWand designed for?
Factory owners, production managers, supervisors and operators who need clearer visibility into production performance and the constraints affecting delivery.
Can MagicWand make production changes automatically?
Factory intelligence workflows prepare recommendations and proposals for human approval. The approval queue separates proposed changes from executed actions and records their outcomes.
How does MagicWand help with production delays?
The line board compares actual output with the shift plan. Forecasts surface possible shortfalls, loss and constraint views explain contributing evidence, and recovery tools rank options for review.
Does MagicWand replace our ERP?
MagicWand focuses on manufacturing execution and factory operations. Its enterprise connectivity interfaces are intended to work alongside other systems; the integration approach should be assessed against your ERP and factory environment.
SEE YOUR NEXT SHIFT DIFFERENTLY
