Use this guide when a colleague has invited you to a Zira site or company and you want to join.

When someone invites you, Zira sends an invitation to your email address. What you do next depends on whether you already have a Zira account.

## Open your invitation email

1. Check the inbox for the email address that was invited.
2. Open the email from Zira inviting you to join.
3. Click the invitation link or button in the email.

If you cannot find the email, check your spam or junk folder, then ask the person who invited you to **ReInvite** you.

## If you are new to Zira

If you do not have a Zira account yet, the invitation link opens the sign-up page with your email already filled in.

1. Check that your email address is correct.
2. Enter your profile details and choose a password.
3. Review the terms and conditions.
4. Click **Sign Up**.

After your account is ready, you are joined to the site or company you were invited to. See [Create Your Account](/docs/getting-started/account-access/create-account) for the full sign-up steps.

## If you already have a Zira account

If you already use Zira, open the invitation link and sign in with your existing email and password.

Once you sign in, the new site or company is added to your account, so you can switch to it from the left sidebar.

## Confirm you joined

After accepting:

1. Open the left sidebar.
2. Look for the site or company you were invited to.
3. Open it to confirm you have access.

Your access level was set by the person who invited you. If you were invited as a **Viewer**, you can view content but not manage settings; as an **Admin**, you can also manage the space.

## If your invite does not work

- The invite may have expired. Ask the person who invited you to **ReInvite** you.
- Make sure you are signing in with the exact email address that was invited.
- If you still cannot get in, contact the person who invited you or your support contact.

It helps manufacturers see what is happening on the floor in real time, measure production and quality automatically, and turn operational data into action. Teams use Zira to monitor lines, inspect products, track throughput, understand downtime, manage follow-up work, and improve performance across sites.

Instead of relying on manual checks, paper reports, delayed spreadsheets, or disconnected systems, Zira brings production visibility, quality inspection, dashboards, data collection, and AI-assisted workflows into one connected platform.

## What Zira helps teams do

Zira helps operations teams answer questions like:

* What is happening on each line right now?
* How much did we produce this shift?
* Where are defects happening?
* Which machines or stations are slowing us down?
* What needs attention from the team?
* How are sites, shifts, and product lines performing against each other?

With Zira, teams can move from delayed reporting to live operational visibility.

## Core capabilities

### Monitor production in real time

Zira dashboards show live operational performance across lines, stations, shifts, and sites. Teams can track metrics such as throughput, yield, cycle time, downtime, quality, labor activity, and machine utilization.

Dashboards help operators, supervisors, plant managers, and leadership stay aligned around the same live view of the operation.

### Inspect quality with AI vision

Zira uses AI vision to inspect products, detect defects, classify results, and capture visual proof automatically.

For manufacturing teams, this means fewer manual checks, better traceability, and faster response when something goes wrong. Instead of discovering quality issues after the shift or after a customer complaint, teams can catch problems closer to where they happen.

### Capture data from the floor

Zira collects structured data from cameras, devices, forms, machines, and custom data sources.

This helps teams replace manual reporting with cleaner, more consistent operational data. Data can be used in dashboards, workflows, tasks, reports, and integrations.

### Organize work by company, site, and channel

Zira keeps operational context organized across companies, facilities, lines, teams, and channels.

This makes it easier for teams to separate work by site or process while still keeping everything connected in one platform.

### Manage tasks and follow-up work

When something needs attention, teams can use Zira to create, assign, and track tasks.

Tasks help teams close the loop on issues found through dashboards, forms, inspections, alerts, or AI-assisted workflows. Instead of insights staying in a report, they become work that can be owned and completed.

### Run AI-assisted workflows

Zira includes AI assistance to help teams move faster.

Depending on where you are in the product, AI can help you ask questions, build or refine dashboards, create forms, set up data sources, route work, understand product features, and open guided workflows such as AI vision or quality-assurance flows.

AI is not a separate tool outside the operation. It works inside the Zira platform so teams can use it in the context of their data, workflows, and goals.

## Common use cases

Teams use Zira for:

* Real-time production visibility
* AI quality inspection
* Throughput and OEE tracking
* Downtime detection and classification
* Defect review and traceability
* Labor and station activity tracking
* Safety and incident review
* Inventory or material movement visibility
* Multi-site operations monitoring
* Forms and structured data collection
* Task management and follow-up workflows
* AI-assisted setup, analysis, and product guidance

## A simple way to think about Zira

Zira helps industrial teams see, measure, and act.

It sees what is happening through cameras, devices, forms, and data sources.

It measures production, quality, downtime, labor, and operational performance in real time.

It helps teams act through dashboards, tasks, workflows, alerts, and AI assistance.

The result is a more connected operation: fewer blind spots, faster decisions, better accountability, and a clearer path from shop-floor events to business action.

## Why teams use Zira

Many operations still depend on manual inspections, after-the-fact reporting, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. That makes it hard to know what is happening right now, where problems start, and what action should come next.

Zira gives teams a live operating layer for the floor.

It helps teams catch issues earlier, compare performance across shifts and sites, reduce manual work, and create a shared source of truth for production and quality.

## In one sentence

Zira is an AI-powered operations platform that helps industrial teams monitor production, inspect quality, collect data, and act faster from one connected system.
