Shop-floor terminal for material issue and production entry

A floor terminal usable with gloves, on modest hardware, without a reliable network.

  • Touch-first floor interface
  • Local store with sync
  • Material issue against job
  • Production receipt

The problem

Production staff had to walk to the office to record issues and receipts, so entries happened in batches hours later and the stock position was always behind reality.

What we built

We built a shop-floor desktop application with large touch targets and a local data store, recording issues and receipts at the point they happen and syncing to the server continuously.

Modules delivered

  • Touch-first floor interface
  • Local store with sync
  • Material issue against job
  • Production receipt
  • Wastage entry
  • Works without network

What changed

What the delivered system does differently from the process it replaced.

  • Transactions are recorded where the work happens
  • The stock position reflects the floor within moments
  • Work continues through network interruptions

Built with

The stack chosen for this build.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
