It logs the breakdown to a Google Sheet and posts your team a Slack digest ranking the stations that lost the most time and why, so recurring stoppages get attention instead of going unnoticed.

  • Yesterday's biggest stoppages surface every morning
  • Downtime is broken out by reason, not just total
  • Recurring failures get attention before they repeat

Questions, answered

Will it change anything in Tulip?

No. WebRun only reads the machine monitoring analytics to build the digest. Editing a machine record, a downtime reason, or a station setup stays with your team inside Tulip.

Where does the downtime data come from?

It comes from Tulip's machine monitoring analytics, which record each downtime event with its station, custom downtime reason, and duration, so WebRun totals real captured events rather than estimates.

Can it show which reasons hurt most?

Yes. The digest totals lost minutes by downtime reason as well as by station, so you can see whether changeovers, breakdowns, or material waits are costing you the most time.

Put this on autopilot.
