Frequently asked questions

What types of SMED processes can Lumiform support?

Lumiform can be used for a wide range of SMED routines—from tool and die changes in manufacturing to equipment cleaning and preparation in food production. Its flexible form builder lets you tailor workflows to your exact process requirements.

Does the software work offline during setup tasks?

Yes. Your team can complete SMED checklists offline using the mobile app. Once reconnected, all results and actions sync automatically to ensure no data is lost or delayed.

Can I automate follow-up tasks based on checklist answers?

Absolutely. You can configure Lumiform to trigger actions directly from specific responses during a setup. This helps ensure that necessary steps like part replacement or quality checks are followed up without delay.

Streamline every changeover with Lumiform

Every minute during a changeover impacts your overall efficiency. When setup times vary between teams or rely on informal knowledge, SMED processes lose their effectiveness. Lumiform’s SMED software enables you to standardize every step through digital checklists that guide your team with clear instructions, visuals, and mandatory actions.

Whether you’re changing tooling on a stamping line or preparing equipment between food production runs, Lumiform ensures consistency across all setups. The result: faster changeovers, fewer delays, and a reliable workflow, regardless of shift or site.

Practical tools to avoid setup delays

Speed isn’t the only challenge in SMED. You also need consistency, no matter who’s doing the work or when. Lumiform helps you stabilize the entire setup process by turning it into a repeatable routine. With custom response logic, you control what each team sees based on machine type, product, or shift. This reduces unnecessary steps and keeps everyone focused. When a critical step requires action—like re-tightening bolts or cleaning a part—an automatic task is triggered and assigned immediately.

It’s no longer a question of who should do what. Everything is tracked, from photo documentation to follow-up actions. This allows you to gain transparency and better coordination across shifts. Less rework, fewer interruptions, and a smoother changeover from start to finish.

Here are some more of Lumiform’s key features:

  • Response-triggered forms – Automatically launch secondary forms (like quality checks) based on setup answers, with no manual follow-up needed.
  • Scheduler – Plan recurring setups with clear deadlines and assignees, ensuring nothing slips through on high-changeover days.
  • Automatic report generation – Get instant, standardized documentation after every completed setup, ready to review or share without extra work.

Getting started with Lumiform’s SMED software

Rolling out Lumiform for SMED doesn’t require a full system overhaul. By taking a step-by-step approach, you ensure the digital setup process fits your workflows and supports your team from day one. Here’s how to get up and running smoothly:

  1. Map your current changeover steps. Document each part of your setup process, including who does what and where delays usually happen.
  2. Create and customize your digital checklist. Use Lumiform’s form builder to define every step, add visual instructions, and apply conditional logic where needed.
  3. Test with one team and refine. Run a pilot on a single line or shift. Use real feedback to adjust flow, clarify steps, or improve usability.
  4. Train staff and roll out in phases. Introduce the tool gradually to different teams, using short training sessions and live support as needed.
  5. Set up reminders, logs, and auto-tasks. Automate recurring setups, assign follow-ups, and track performance using built-in logs and scheduled actions.

How manufacturing teams are going digital

As production becomes more flexible, setup times matter more than ever. Shorter product cycles and more changeovers per shift mean old-school SMED methods don’t hold up. Teams are shifting to digital tools not just for speed, but for structure. The rise of real-time data, mobile apps, and cloud-based task tracking makes it easier to run lean without losing control.

Instead of relying on one experienced operator, teams use checklists with built-in logic, visuals, and immediate feedback. This shift toward tech-driven processes is already quickly becoming an expectation.
