Schedule of a bakery that starts at 3 am with mixer, proofing chamber, ovens, cooling tunnel and packing

A schedule that starts at night

There are no working-hour limits, so jobs can start at 3 am and the schedule shows all 24 hours. Short batches of 30 to 90 minutes sit side by side on each machine.

Orders from several customers

Give each batch its customer and deadline: the market chain, the café or the school canteen. Taktcell warns you if a batch is planned to finish after its deadline.

When equipment stops

If the cooling tunnel fan stops, the packer reports it from the phone. The tunnel shows as broken, and the people whose batches depend on it are notified.

Notes on every batch

The baker notes that the dough was wetter and the proofing was shortened. The next shift and the manager can read it in the job’s history.
