Production tracking

We build production tracking around your route: a scan at the work area, an item route with versioned rules, discrepancies with reasons, access to work areas and dispatch. Our basis is a working prototype of finished-goods tracking at a plant, connected to the plant's accounting system.

Animation: an item travels along a conveyor through three work areas, and the scanner arch lights up at each; a second item doesn't match its route and slides into a conflict tray, while the first reaches the dispatch container.

When you need it

Situations that bring people to us for this service.

  • Paper sheets between work areas

    Movement of products relies on paper and verbal agreements.

  • Accounting sees the shift late

    The accounting system learns about the shift's result when it's too late to fix anything.

  • Discrepancies are explained verbally

    An item ended up in the wrong place — and the reason is found by talking to people.

  • No signal on the shop floor

    The network drops, and operations aren't recorded or are recorded twice.

What's included

  1. Production route analysis

    Work areas, operations, roles and checkpoints — together with the people on the shop floor.

  2. Scan at the work area

    The accounting system accepts the operation or returns the reason for rejection — and the person sees it at once.

  3. Item route

    The system knows which work area the item should reach next; route rules are versioned.

  4. Conflicts with reasons

    A route mismatch is recorded with a reason category instead of getting lost.

  5. Access to work areas

    Staff are assigned to a work area by an approved request; only those assigned can change records.

  6. Dispatch

    A shipment with containers, a vehicle and a route sheet, a check before departure and a controlled return to loading.

  7. Gatehouse

    Entry and exit through a guard's screen or by scanning a QR code on a tablet at the entrance.

  8. Offline work

    Scans are stored on the phone and sent as soon as the connection returns — none counted twice.

What you get

  • A description of the route, operations and roles
  • A prototype at one work area
  • A staff app and a production manager's panel
  • A link to the plant's accounting system
  • A pilot on the shop floor, plus support

The project path

From the first conversation to daily use

Every step ends with a decision: go on or stop. We don't start the next one until the previous one has given its answer.

  1. 01

    Getting to know the task

    You describe the process and what gets in the way. We reply by email with questions and arrange a call.

  2. 02

    Discovery

    We study the process with the people who work in it and write down what the system must change and how we will check it.

  3. 03

    Prototype

    We build a working prototype of the key scenario to test the idea on real data rather than on polished screens.

  4. 04

    Pilot

    We run the system in your real environment with agreed outcome criteria and a deadline. After the pilot we decide together whether to go further.

  5. 05

    Launch and growth

    We bring it to daily use: reliability, access rights, links to other software, documentation, support. Then we develop it based on user feedback.

Questions about this service

Will this replace our accounting system?

No, it complements it. In the plant case study the app exchanges data with the plant's accounting system: staff, barcodes and operations sync.

Can we start with one work area?

Yes. First a prototype at one work area, then a pilot, and only after that do we decide together whether to extend it.

What if there's no network on the shop floor?

Work doesn't stop: scans are stored on the phone and sent as soon as the network is back. A rejection shows up on the screen — it isn't lost.

Do you work with other manufacturers?

Yes: two projects for manufacturers — clothing and gift packaging — are in development now. They are under NDA, so the site shows only the industry and stage.

Have a project with no ready-made solution?

Describe it in a few sentences: how things work today and what gets in the way. We reply by email with questions on the next business day.
