We’ve made it even easier for our Pulse users to organize their downtime reasons! The downtime topic admin page now supports sorting, so you can quickly arrange parent topics and their nested downtime reasons in the order that best fits your workflow.
Drag and drop the topics in prefered order in admin page:

We’ve made it easier to organize and manage downtime reasons in Pulse! Previously, downtime reasons could be linked to specific machine types. With our latest update, you can now create parent topics and nest downtime reasons under them, linking these topics to machine groups instead of types.
Key improvements:
Downtime reasons are now organized under parent topics, making it easier to navigate and select the right reason. Topics are linked to machine groups, providing more flexibility and better alignment with your operational structure. The admin setup page has been updated to support this new structure, allowing you to create and manage nested topics and group links. In the UI, downtime reasons are now displayed under tabs for each parent topic, making selection faster and more intuitive.
We’re excited to introduce a major upgrade to the Machine States timeline feature in Pulse! The familiar timeline is now called the Resource Activity Timeline, providing a more comprehensive and flexible view of your resource’s operations.
| Timeline Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Machine State | This line shows the status of your machine over time. |
| Work Order | A new line displays active work orders, making it easy to track production alongside machine states or alone. |
| Machine Program | Another new line shows which machine program is running, giving you deeper insight into operations. |
You can also report downtime reasons directly by clicking on the Work Order timeline.
Dynamic Timeline Lines: The timeline will automatically display only the relevant lines for each resource. If a machine doesn’t have state or program data, those timelines are filtered out, so you always see the most useful information for your context.
We’ve streamlined the downtime reporting widget to make it faster and easier to use! Previously, you had to choose a recent machine state or set a start time before reporting a downtime reason. Now, you simply select the downtime reason and start the timer.
Key improvements:
We’ve enhanced the material list in our UI to provide even greater clarity and traceability. Previously, material lines with consumption from multiple locations were grouped together, making it harder to see exactly where materials were used. With our latest update, these lines are now split by location, so each entry clearly shows how much was consumed and from where.
A list of locations with available stock can be viewed in the expandable detail panel. If there has been consumption, the consumed location is marked with a green indicator.
You can now find the planner responsible for the material line, with a link to Teams and Email, by clicking the user icon.
After many customer requests, we’re excited to introduce Order notes, a simple way to keep track of important information directly on your orders!
After several requests from both customers and our own team, the Ignos.io suite now lets you open any navigation link in a brand-new browser tab! 🥳
Here’s how to do it:
Here's a quick demo:
Try it out yourself, and let us know what you think!
We will also soon be upgrading our tabs to display more context at a glance, making it even easier to switch between them.
Here's a sneak peek:
We've introduced a new frequency type for Inspect Schemas: FirstAndLast.
This option is simple to use – it requires documentation of only two sequences in a production series. Once the first and last measurements are documented, the dimension will turn green, and no further documentation is required for that dimension.
We recommend using this as intended: document only the first and last items in the series. However, since we don’t control the order of your production, the system accepts documentation of any two sequences, whether they’re first, last, or otherwise.
We’ve also adjusted how rows are ordered in Schemas and Instances.
Previously, new rows were added at the bottom, requiring users to scroll or search to find the most recent additions.
Now, the newest rows appear at the top of the list, making them quicker and easier to access.
Take control of your downtime management with two updates to the Downtime Reasons feature in Pulse, designed to give you greater flexibility and control over managing downtime reasons.
We're excited to introduce the Downtime Duration widget, now available for Pulse users in Workspace! This new tool provides a quick, at-a-glance view of reported downtime reasons and their total duration, based on your selected resource and time range. Easily configure a static resource in the widget settings (located in the top right corner) or dynamically use the resource selected in your Workspace. Gain insights to reduce downtime and boost efficiency with this intuitive new feature!
