Makerspace software + machine access
Pass the training.
The machine turns on.
Training, waivers, machine access, maintenance, inventory and staff schedules share one record. Members use the app to get on a machine. Staff use it to keep the floor running.

Sound familiar?
How most shops run today
Inventory runs out mid-class. A machine breaks and nobody knows its history. The one person who knows the training is out sick.

The same week in MakerOps
A new member goes from sign-up to first cut. Nobody chases paperwork.
Each step writes to the same record, so the next one already knows what happened.
-
Monday
Signs the waiver, takes the course
On their phone, before they reach the shop. Slides, video and a quiz.
-
Wednesday
Passes the checkout, gets the credential
Staff sign off the in-person session. The credential is on the member's record straight away.
-
Thursday
Scans the machine, the power comes on
The controller checks the credential and the waiver, then closes the relay. No fob, no key.
-
Every day after
Every session lands in the machine's history
Hours, who ran it and any issue they flagged, next to its maintenance schedule.
For the staff
One list of what the shop needs today.
Overdue maintenance, low stock, purchase requests waiting on you and who is on shift. On the desk or in your pocket.
Walk the fleet
Check off every printer of a model in one pass from the app.
Dictate the service log
Say what you did. It drafts the entry and you confirm it.
Reorder before it runs out
Filament and bar stock get flagged at their reorder point.
Swap a shift
Trade from the rota and clock in from your phone.
The app is free for staff and members on every plan.
The MakerOps controller
Training in.
Power out.
It mounts at the machine and shows a code to scan. When the member's training checks out, it switches the power on. When the session ends, the power goes off with it.
