WhiteGuard™Features
Private Development Preview · v2.0.0-alpha.1
Phase 2 Development Preview
- This is a private development preview and is not for production use.
- Manufacturer-specific procedures, OEM integrations, telemetry connections, and AI assessments are inactive until validated and approved.
- WhiteGuard Phase 2 is not currently an Epson product, partnership, endorsement, approved manufacturer solution, or confirmed Epson API integration.
- Future capability descriptions are development concepts, not active functionality.
Accountability. Evidence. Governance.
WhiteGuard™ Phase 2 turns white-ink maintenance into a daily, timestamped, review-ready habit — all on your device. The active foundation is inherited from WhiteGuard LITE; the Fleet, OEM, and AI capabilities below are planned or gated for this Phase 2 build.
Active Foundation
Today
Know exactly what's due — and prove you did it
- Daily priorities surfaced in one progress view
- Every check-in stamped with a real local timestamp
- Explicit nozzle-check outcome (pass or needs attention) — no tap-to-skip
- Streak tracking that rewards consistency, not volume
- Print Session start/end with live timeline and startup nozzle check
Procedures
Governed guidance that respects equipment authority
- Generic decision-and-accountability checklists, not universal recipes
- Authority metadata: owner, source, revision date, approval status
- Clear Generic Guidance Boundary on every generic procedure
- Model-specific steps only with an approved, governed source
Schedule
See the full cadence — daily now, weekly & monthly ahead
- Daily white-ink habit front and center
- Visibility into weekly and monthly routines
- Configurable reminder time and print weekdays
- Review-ready summary builder from recorded evidence
Review & Escalate
Turn exceptions into an auditable trail
- Exception flags and operator notes on every check-in
- Escalation records with severity and status tracking
- Review-ready summary builder from completion, exception & escalation evidence
- Supervisor routing and scheduled delivery are a planned Phase 2 upgrade
Your Wins
Build the habit with safe milestones
- Streaks that reward showing up daily
- Quick, habit, and long-term achievement milestones
- Verified nozzle-pass wins only from an explicit pass result
- Never rewards cleaning-cycle volume or over-maintenance
Plan Ahead
Protect your printer through absence and relocation
- Extended-absence and printer-relocation planning workflows
- Activation blocked until all authority fields are present
- Physical-action steps come only from your approved model-specific source
- Return-to-service accountability checklist
Inspect Visual Evidence
Document nozzle checks and finished prints on-device
- Camera capture for nozzle, DTF, and DTG inspections
- Photo-quality assistance (brightness, contrast, readability) — not diagnosis
- Structured observations separated into condition, factors, next approved check
- Images and records stay on this device — never uploaded or synced
Resources
Reference topics governed by approved-source rules
- Topics without an approved URL render as non-clickable references
- Approved external links open clearly in a new tab
- No misleading search links or placeholder anchors
- Source-linked cards labeled honestly — never implied OEM approval
Install & Settings
Make WhiteGuard yours — on your home screen
- Installable PWA with home-screen access
- Top or bottom navigation placement — your choice
- Reminder time, print weekdays, and on-device preferences
- All data stored locally on this device
Planned Phase 2
Fleet & Multi-Site Management
Fleet/enterprise work is defined but not yet implemented
- Multi-site, multi-printer oversight and reporting
- Supervisor dashboards and workforce accountability
- Aggregated escalation and review across deployments
- Defined in Phase 2 requirements — not active in this preview
Gated / Inactive
Model-Specific Procedures & OEM Integration
Pending validation and approval — currently inactive
- Manufacturer-locked, model-specific procedure authority
- OEM API and dealer integration paths
- Telemetry connections to supported printers
- Inactive until a validated, approved profile is documented
AI Assessment & Diagnostics
Inactive — requires an approved model profile
- Model-specific AI pass/fail and artwork-to-print comparison
- Trend analysis and technician/OEM reports
- Corrective-action routing from approved sources
- Currently documents observations only — never infers pass/fail or diagnosis
What this preview does not do
WhiteGuard™ Phase 2 does not diagnose equipment, invent corrective actions, perform AI pass/fail, sync to the cloud, or guarantee closed-app push delivery. Model-specific AI assessment, artwork-to-print comparison, trend analysis, technician/OEM reports, OEM API integration, and telemetry require a supported, approved profile and are inactive in this preview. The inherited foundation is local-only and one-printer.
