# Introducing Factory Playback

Your factory has a story, now you can go back and see how it unfolded.

## What is Factory Playback?

**Factory Playback lets manufacturers rewind and replay production as it actually happened.** It syncs factory camera video with the events Tulip already records, on one searchable timeline.

When a defect, stoppage or delay happens, teams can watch what caused it instead of piecing it together from logs and memory.

## How it works

Factory Playback connects camera video to the operational data Tulip already captures, so every record becomes a moment you can replay.

### Capture

Tulip apps and connected machines already record what happens at each step: the station, work order, machine state and quality result, down to the second. That operational context is what makes video searchable.

### Sync

Video from IP cameras, often ones you already have, is lined up with those events on one timeline. It's stored and analyzed on an NVIDIA GPU server inside your plant, so raw footage stays on-site.

### Replay

Click a failed test, alert or machine stop to jump to that moment in the video, with what came before and after. Or search in plain language, like "every rework on Line 2 last week.

## Don't piece it together, play it back.

**Downtime & Throughput**

### Why did the line stop?

Go back to the minutes before the stop. See what the machine, the material and the people were doing.

- What changed before the stop
- Was the next input available
- Where did waiting begin

**Traceability**

### What happened before the part failed?

Start at the failed inspection. Step back through what led to it, then forward to how the team handled it.

- Review the prior steps
- Failed inspection
- Inspect the response

**Safety & Standard Work**

### Where did the process drift?

Find the moments someone entered a restricted zone, worked without PPE or skipped a step. Review them without scrubbing hours of video.

- Review missing PPE
- Restricted-zone entry
- Deviations from standard procedures

**Movement Preview**

### Where does the time actually go?

Use floor trails and replay to measure travel, queues and handoffs, without a stopwatch and clipboard.

- Travel time
- Queue time
- Cycle variation

MADE FOR HOW WORK HAPPENS

## Built for real operations

### Process adherence at the station

A replay of how operators move through each step of building a robot. Shows where waiting and variation cost time, and what to rebalance.

### Scrap and downtime root cause

Every build compared against reference video of the same operation. Ensures the work was done the same way, not just signed off.

### Guide Operators, Enforce SOPs

A searchable record of every deviation across production and the warehouse. Confirms standard work and catches drift before it reaches downstream.
