Neptune DXP - Open Edition LTS 22 (2022)

A production order is assigned to an operator by the shift manager at the plant

In a synchronous way, the operator gets their app updated without manual synchronization of data by the operator

If there is an issue on the production line and the production system stops, this event is subscribed by Neptune ( via the Redis server ), and the operator, the manager, and the maintenance people know, on any device

Firebase libraries have been updated.
