The problem

Assigning work is still manual and disconnected from workforce data

Supervisors spend too long matching people to jobs without the data to make the best decision.

Assignment planning is slow and manual

Supervisors spend 20 to 30 minutes before every shift working out who goes where, then redo it each time attendance or priorities shift.

Intuition-based decisions leave output on the table

With thousands of ways to match workers to jobs, manual choices rarely land on the assignment plan that would produce the most throughput.

Ineligible work drives rework and scrap

When ineligible workers perform the job, quality issues and avoidable costs follow.

AI job assignment

Build the best shift plan in minutes

Covalent uses AI to prioritize open work and match each job to the eligible worker best suited to run it. This gives supervisors a ready-to-review plan before the shift begins.

  • Rank jobs by urgency, progress, and production impact
  • Match workers using eligibility, availability, and proficiency
  • Surface coverage gaps and recommend eligible backups
  • Adjust assignments and publish the final plan to the floor

Job eligibility and gating

Keep unqualified workers off restricted work

Covalent turns certifications and skills into live eligibility for every worker and job, then sends that decision directly to your MES.

  • Determine eligibility from current qualifications
  • Remove access automatically when a certification or skill expires
  • Block MES buy-offs from workers who are not eligible
  • Integrate with MES platforms like Solumina, Siemens, and SAP to enforce eligibility at the point of work

I love that this system gives us a one-stop-shop for job assignment planning, instead of having to go through multiple sources to pull one-off pieces of data today.

Absenteeism and worker turnover can run very high. Being able to rely on data to make assignment decisions can help us react to last-minute no shows more easily.
