Mobile Usage

OpSee is fully responsive and works on tablets and phones. Operator screens in particular are optimized for touch interaction, making it possible to classify downtime events directly on the shop floor without a desktop computer.

OpSee on a tablet in portrait mode

Any modern tablet or phone with a web browser works. Recommended:

  • Tablet (10" or larger): best for the Downtime Screen; enough screen space to see the event table and reason panel side-by-side in landscape mode
  • Phone (6"+): usable for quick lookups; reason panels open as bottom sheets

Standard browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) are all supported. No app installation is needed; OpSee is a web application.

Using the Downtime Screen on a Tablet​

  1. Open the browser and navigate to your OpSee URL
  2. Go to Production → OEE → Downtime
  3. Tap an event row: the reason selection sheet slides up from the bottom
  4. Navigate the reason tree by tapping categories, then specific reasons
  5. Add a comment if needed, then tap Save
  6. Swipe down or tap the handle at the top of the sheet to close it

Tip: Add OpSee to the Home Screen​

To make OpSee behave like a native app:

On Android (Chrome):

  1. Open OpSee in Chrome
  2. Tap the three-dot menu → Add to Home screen
  3. Confirm — an icon appears on your home screen

On iOS (Safari):

  1. Open OpSee in Safari
  2. Tap the Share button (box with arrow)
  3. Select Add to Home Screen
  4. Confirm — an icon appears on your home screen

When launched from the home screen, OpSee opens in a standalone window (no browser address bar), giving a clean fullscreen experience.

Shop-Floor Device Tips​

  • Use portrait mode for the navigation sidebar experience; landscape mode is better for viewing the event table
  • Brightness: increase screen brightness for readability in brightly lit factory environments
  • Session: OpSee sessions are long-lived (set by your administrator). You typically won't need to re-login during a shift. See Session and Login
  • Cleaning: the interface works with gloves that support capacitive touch (most modern touchscreen gloves)
