AI Production Changeover Workflow Agent

How Cassidy automates changeovers using AI

Step 1: Trigger on schedule change or lot transition

The Workflow activates when ERP or MES signals a schedule change, rush order, SKU switch, or planned maintenance window—automatically pulling the changeover matrix and production constraints.

Step 2: Generate optimized sequence and pre-staging tasks

Cassidy analyzes the upcoming product mix, proposes an optimized changeover sequence to minimize total setup time, and creates kitting and staging work orders for materials, tooling, and labels.

Step 3: Verify readiness across systems

The Workflow checks MRP availability, confirms calibration status in CMMS, validates parameter sets, and ensures skill coverage on shift—flagging gaps before the line stops.

Step 4: Deliver context-aware digital work instructions

Cassidy serves step-by-step eSOPs tailored to the specific asset, SKU, and crew configuration—including parallel-operator choreography, mandatory scans, and visual verification checkpoints.

Step 5: Enforce quality and compliance gates

Human-in-the-loop approvals capture e-signatures for line clearance, first-piece inspection results, and SPC baselines—creating a complete audit trail with timestamps, user IDs, and media evidence.

Step 6: Analyze and recommend improvements

After each changeover, Cassidy logs step-level times, identifies internal vs. external task splits, benchmarks against previous runs, and surfaces kaizen recommendations to compress future changeovers.
