Connects a low production bin to an immediate replenishment task, sending the right worker and directing them to the required supply location.
Make Every Changeover A Guided Process.
Changing a production line from one product to another requires every worker at every station to know exactly what to do. Ithina Maestro puts the right instructions directly at the workstation, guides workers step by step, and keeps the line locked until every required step is confirmed.
Challenges
When Knowledge Lives In People, Changeovers Stay Fragile.
In high-attrition manufacturing environments, the worker at a station may have joined only recently while the instructions still sit on a laminated sheet or clipboard. A single wrong step can create a defect batch, force the line to restart, and bring the supervisor back to every station. The challenge is not simply knowing the procedure. It is making sure the right procedure reaches the right worker, at the right station, during the changeover.
Solution
Put The Changeover Instructions Where The Work Happens.
Ithina connects the physical production environment with its intelligence and execution layer. Sensors, devices and workstation tags provide the physical foundation, while Maestro acts as the central AI decision engine and Ithina Command provides the control layer for human-approved actions.
Capture the operational event that starts the changeover and connect it to the physical workstation environment through Ithina Edge.
Maestro interprets the changeover context and determines the instructions that need to reach each workstation.
The relevant instructions appear on the display tag at each station. Workers complete the required step and confirm it directly.
Every decision, approval and action can be recorded, while Shadow Mode continuously observes decisions, approvals and outcomes to improve Maestro's reasoning over time.
Capabilities
Everything Needed To Run A Controlled Changeover.
Station-Specific Instructions
Maestro automatically sends the right instructions to every workstation tag when a changeover is initiated.
Display-Based Guidance
Each display tag shows exactly what the worker needs to do for that specific changeover, keeping instructions directly at the point of work.
Step-by-Step Execution
Workers complete each changeover step and tap to confirm completion. The next required step then appears automatically.
Complete Station Confirmation
The production line cannot be released until every station has confirmed every required step.
Physical Edge Integration
Ithina Edge provides the physical foundation through connected sensors, cameras, ESLs and displays that connect the operational environment to the intelligence layer.
AI Orchestration & Reasoning
Maestro operates as the central AI decision engine, orchestrating signal flow and handling complex logic across the operational environment.
Human Approval & Guardrails
Ithina Command provides the control layer for human-in-the-loop approval or human-over-the-loop automation, supported by configurable guardrails.
Logged & Auditable Actions
Maestro records decisions, approvals and actions, creating an explainable and auditable operational trail.
How It Works
Changeover Instruction To Line Release.
Start the changeover.
When a changeover is initiated, Maestro automatically sends the right instructions to every workstation tag.
Show the right instruction.
The display tag at each station shows exactly what the worker needs to do for that specific changeover.
Complete the step.
The worker performs the required action and taps to confirm completion. The next step appears automatically.
Confirm every station.
Each station must confirm every required step before the production line can be released.
Release the line.
Once every station has completed and confirmed its steps, the production line can be released without the supervisor having to walk every station again.
Ithina Maestro
One Intelligence Engine. Every Changeover Decision.
Ithina Maestro is the AI engine powering the agentic workflow. It perceives events from the physical edge, analyses context, reasons about the appropriate action, gets approval where required, and executes the action through the connected environment.
For Line Changeover, that intelligence is applied directly to workstation execution: Maestro sends instructions, workers confirm each step, and the line remains unreleased until the required stations have completed the process.
Use Cases
Where Guided Changeovers Make The Difference.
Product-to-Product Changeovers
Guide workers through the exact steps required when changing a production line from one product to another.
High-Attrition Manufacturing
Keep operational knowledge available at the workstation instead of depending entirely on individual worker experience.
New Joiner Execution
Help new workers follow the same changeover instructions used across the stations, supporting the deck's stated outcome: new joiners perform like veterans.
Multi-Station Changeovers
Automatically distribute the relevant instructions across every workstation involved in the changeover.
Step Confirmation
Require workers to confirm each completed step before the next instruction appears.
Controlled Line Release
Prevent production release until every station has confirmed every required step, with no exceptions.
Business Impact
Turn Changeover Knowledge Into Execution Certainty.
New Joiners Perform Like Veterans
Put changeover knowledge directly into the workstation experience instead of relying only on workforce experience.
Every Station Accounted For
Every station must confirm every required step before the production line is released.
Supervisor Walkthrough Eliminated
Maestro Line Changeover eliminates the need for the supervisor walkthrough after an incorrect step or during the changeover process.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Ithina Line Changeover is a Maestro-powered manufacturing workflow that guides workers through the required steps when a production line changes from one product to another.
When a changeover starts, Maestro automatically sends the right instructions to every workstation tag. Each display shows what that worker needs to do for the specific changeover.
Yes. Workers complete each step and tap to confirm it. The next step then appears automatically.
No. The production line cannot be released until every station has confirmed every step.
The deck positions the solution around keeping knowledge in the workstation tag rather than relying solely on the workforce, with the intended outcome that new joiners can perform like veterans.
