Short articles to get you and your team running on DOVA. We are a small team and a young product — if something you need is not here, email us and we'll reply (and add an article).
Reading the Production KPI dashboard
A one-minute tour of the main dashboard: location cards, KPI tiles, downtime Pareto, and trend charts.
Understanding OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
OEE is Availability × Performance × Quality. What each factor measures, how DOVA calculates it, and what a good number looks like.
Creating, running, and closing work orders
A work order in DOVA carries status, operator, machine, quantities, and downtime events — from start to close.
Logging downtime with reason codes
Capture downtime at the moment it happens, with a real reason — not at end of shift, not on paper.
Adding users and understanding roles
Invite your team and give each person a role that scopes what they can see and do. Five roles, from Company Admin to Viewer.
Setting up a TV (shop-floor) display
Pair a TV or dedicated browser tab to show live shift progress to the floor — goal vs actual, downtime minutes, top reasons.
Email us and we'll reply within one business day — and turn the answer into an article if it's useful for others.
