System and method for remote observation in a non-networked production facility

A hub device for coordinating mobile devices within a production facility, comprising:

• a user interface;
• a set of charging locations configured to charge a set of mobile devices;
• a chassis configured to mount to a wall within the production facility;
• and
• an integrated computational device configured to:
• via the user interface, receive a first set of user credentials associated with a first operator, the hub device charging the set of mobile devices;
• access a first operator schedule defining:
• a first scheduled manufacturing operation;
• and
• a first observer of the first scheduled manufacturing operation, the first observer characterized by a first set of observer credentials;
• detect disconnection of a first mobile device in the set of mobile devices from a first charging location in the set of charging locations, the first mobile device associated with a first device ID;
• at a first time, in response to detecting disconnection of the first mobile device from the first charging location, associate the first device ID with the first operator;
• and
• at a second time after the scheduled manufacturing operation, in response to detecting a direct connection of the first mobile device to the hub device based on the first device ID:
• upload a first video feed from the first mobile device to the hub device;
• and
• transmit the first video feed from the hub device to the first observer based on the first set of observer credentials.
