Manufacturing
Automation for manufacturing operations
Production runs on information moving fast and accurately between the office and the floor. In most plants that movement is still a person, a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group.
The problem
Where the time goes
Orders re-keyed three times
A customer PO arrives by email, gets entered into Tally, copied into a production plan, then messaged to the shop floor. Every copy is a chance for a wrong quantity or a wrong date.
Supplier documents read by hand
Invoices, delivery notes and test certificates arrive as PDFs and scans. Someone opens each one, checks it against the PO, and types the numbers into the system.
Production reports built every morning
Output, rejections and dispatch numbers get pulled together by hand into a sheet that could have been waiting in the inbox before the shift started.
Nobody knows status without asking
Where an order actually is depends on who you ask and which WhatsApp group it was last mentioned in.
In practice
What we would build
- Customer POs read from email and pushed into your ERP or production sheet automatically
- Supplier invoices matched against purchase orders, with only mismatches flagged for a human
- Daily production and dispatch reports compiled and sent before the shift starts
- Order status updates pushed to WhatsApp when the stage changes, without anyone typing
- Low-stock and delayed-dispatch alerts raised automatically instead of noticed late
