Faster Production Tracking

The Challenge

Manual Processes, Zero Visibility

The main challenge was fully digitizing a complex production environment without relying on an off-the-shelf software model. The client was using physical documents and disjointed Excel sheets to manually manage all production paperwork, tracking, and reporting.

  • Manual paper-based tracking causing delays and errors
  • No existing MES system to reference or build upon
  • Complex, multi-step production requiring precise documentation
The Solution

Complete Digital Transformation

Axis Technologies effectively integrated all required customizations and standard MES features into a feature-rich system that digitalized the client's manual processes, providing real-time visibility and control.

  • Digital workflow replication with intuitive operator controls
  • Serial number traceability for complete production history
  • Seamless ERP integration for synchronized operations
Details

Digital Workflow Replication

Using straightforward Start, Pause, Continue, and Complete buttons, the fundamental Work Order Operations were created to accurately replicate the operator's manual actions. This allowed for the automatic logging of the real End Date and the collection of precise real production timings.

Details

Built to Adapt to Any Production

The same architecture—work orders, serials, routings, operations, and BOM-aware flows—is configurable to match discrete, batch, or assembly-style manufacturing, so the platform can scale to different product families and line layouts without replacing the core system.

Details

Unmatched Traceability

Users may quickly obtain the complete history of any product serial number, including all operations, materials, replacement parts, and tools used, thanks to the Serial Card feature, which offers a personalized, one-click traceability solution.

Details

Comprehensive Scheduling and Resource Management

With the help of comprehensive configuration modules for Operators, Work Centers, Tasks, Tools, and Working Hours, the system provides robust scheduling through the Calendar Machine, which determines total machine hours based on quantity, hours, and tolerance, as well as specialized Machine Management and Group Calendar views.

Details

Seamless Integration

The solution created a single, transparent source of truth for all production data by establishing dependable connection with the ERP, handling Work Order Attachments, and guaranteeing that the state of operations and required documents (Documents LN) are synchronized automatically.

With this solution, the client was transformed from a manually tracked, error-prone environment to a digital production system that is effective, accountable, real-time, and ready to scale.
