Alba — Morning Brief Agent for Plant Managers

Alba collects the night's shift reports written in Vietnamese, translates and checks them, and delivers a Japanese-ready brief with flagged items and the original text by 7:30.

How it works

How Alba works

The problem

  1. Every night 14 line leaders write shift reports in Vietnamese, on LINE WORKS, forms or paper. The Japanese plant manager cannot read them directly.
  2. A coordinator spends 2 hours each morning translating and compiling, so the manager sees last night only at 13:30.
  3. Safety incidents and repeat stoppages are retold through several people, and the original wording is lost.

What it does

  1. 01Alba reads every report overnight, whether LINE WORKS, a Google Form or a photo of a handwritten log, into one template.
  2. 02It translates with the plant glossary, so “die jam” or “locating pin” reads the same every day.
  3. 03Flagged items show the original Vietnamese beside the translation, with buttons to acknowledge, ask or assign.
  4. 04The coordinator reviews the draft in about 12 minutes, and the brief reaches the manager by 7:30.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to what companies usually ask before they start.

Ask anything else in 30 minutes
What if Alba misreads a handwritten figure?
Fields below the confidence threshold (85% by default) are held for a person to re-read and are not counted until confirmed.
Do line leaders need training?
No. They keep reporting through LINE WORKS, forms or paper. Only the reviewer needs a short walkthrough.
Does it work with our software?
It connects to kintone, LINE WORKS and Google Workspace. Other systems are assessed in the AI Workflow Assessment.
Is our data safe?
Your data stays in your own systems and accounts; iPlus keeps none. It is not used to train models.
What does it cost each month?
The setup is a one-time fixed price. Monthly costs are API usage, paid directly to the provider, and hosting; at about 420 reports a month the API is under 40 USD.
How long until it runs?
About 4 to 6 weeks after the assessment, including two weeks alongside the current process.
What happens if we stop using it?
You keep your data and templates. Line leaders report as before, so nothing depends on Alba to keep working.
Can we start small?
Yes. Start with 3 to 5 lines and extend to the whole plant once the figures match.
