Contract Manufacturers Face Compliance Documentation Across Multiple Customer Standards
Running production for multiple OEM customers on the same floor means maintaining compliance documentation for overlapping — and sometimes contradictory — safety and process standards. One customer requires hard hats throughout the floor. Another exempts operators at specific workstations. A third requires documented evidence of PPE compliance at every OEM audit.
Tracking this manually across shifts, zones, and customer production runs is labor-intensive and incomplete. Spot checks capture a snapshot, not a shift-long record. When an OEM audit requests documented compliance evidence, the answer is typically a supervisor's log — not a measured dataset.
Floor utilization is a second gap. Contract manufacturers need to demonstrate throughput efficiency to justify capacity allocation to customers — and to identify where floor productivity is being constrained by zone bottlenecks, coverage gaps, or shift scheduling mismatch.
Misti addresses both gaps with the camera infrastructure already installed in most contract manufacturing facilities — no new hardware, no IT overhaul, operational in under a week.
Three Capabilities Contract Manufacturers Use Most
Zone-Level PPE Compliance by Customer Standard
Configure required PPE per zone to match each customer's production specification. Compliance rates tracked separately per zone, with shift-end audit documentation ready for OEM review.
Floor Utilization by Production Zone
Real-time and historical zone utilization data by shift. Identify where your floor is underperforming relative to capacity plan. Quantify the utilization gap for operations review with customers.
Incident Investigation Without Footage Scrub
When an incident occurs during a customer production run, pull the event log for the relevant zone and time window in minutes. No manual footage review. EHS report closed same shift.
Post-incident investigation time cut from 5.5 hours to 38 minutes
A contract manufacturer running production for three OEM customers deployed Misti across their primary assembly floor. The process quality team had been spending close to a full shift per week reconstructing incident timelines from raw camera footage for EHS documentation and customer incident reports.
After deploying the incident event log, any zone's timestamped event sequence was available in minutes — searchable by zone, time window, and event type. EHS reports now close same-shift, and incident documentation for customer review is generated directly from the platform.
Works with the Camera Infrastructure Already in Your Facility
Contract manufacturing facilities typically have substantial CCTV coverage already installed for security and quality purposes. Misti runs on existing RTSP/ONVIF-compatible IP cameras — no new hardware procurement, no disruption to production schedules.
No New Hardware
RTSP and ONVIF compatible. Works with most commercial IP camera brands including Axis, Hikvision, Dahua, and Bosch.
Live in Under 5 Days
From camera access to first shift report in under a week. No IT overhaul, no MES integration required to start.
On-Premises Option Available
For facilities with OT network segmentation requirements or customer data handling restrictions. On-prem and hybrid deployment supported.
