Production output recorded on clipboards and keyed into the ERP the following morning became live shop-floor capture, giving planners same-shift visibility and cutting scrap.
The situation
Operators recorded output and downtime on paper, entered into the ERP the next day.
Planners scheduled against figures that were always at least one shift out of date.
Quality problems were often detected at final inspection, after further value had been added.
The ERP had an integration interface, but no one had the capacity to build against it.
Our approach
Terminals were specified and tested on the floor. Large targets, high contrast, minimal typing, and no reliance on a keyboard determined the whole interface design.
Shop-floor network coverage was unreliable, so capture works fully offline and synchronises when connectivity returns. Nothing is lost and nothing waits on the network.
We wrote against the vendor's documented API rather than touching the database directly, which kept the ERP supportable and upgradeable.
In-process measurements now trigger alerts when a run drifts toward tolerance limits, so intervention happens during the run rather than at inspection.
The outcome
Planners work from output data that is current within minutes instead of a shift. Earlier detection of tolerance drift reduced scrap materially in the first quarter, and the paper trail between the floor and the ERP has been eliminated along with the transcription errors that came with it.
