Counting apps tell you what happened at shift end. Tracki8 tells you what's happening right now — every operation, every style, every process — cross-referenced to plan. When something deviates, the right person knows within minutes, with a corrective action ready.
Counting apps record output. Tracki8 understands it — every number cross-referenced to plan, every deviation triggering a downstream action. The difference is not what you see. It's what happens next.
| Counting App / MES | Tracki8 | |
|---|---|---|
| What it tracks | Sewing output only | All 5 factory processes |
| When it updates | End of shift | Real-time, per operation |
| Cross-references plan? | No — standalone counts | Yes — every output vs Plani8 plan |
| Triggers replan? | No | Yes — automatic signal to Plani8 |
| Hardware options | Proprietary system | RFID, barcode, or zero hardware |
| Corrective action | Reports only | Action pushed to right person |
| Multi-process visibility | Not possible | Cutting, Embl, Sewing, Wash — all |
No deployment should be blocked by hardware procurement. Tracki8 runs on RFID, barcodes, or pure software. Mix modes across departments.
Five processes. Three input modes. One structured data layer — all plan-aware, all connected to the FactoryOS intelligence stack.
Not end-of-shift summaries. Signals that reach the right person with context and a suggested action — while there is still time to act.
Not end-of-shift reports. Live signals that reach the right person with the right corrective action. Hardware-agnostic. Connected to Plani8. Live in 12 weeks.
