Shopfloor Production & Inventory Tracking System
How an auto-component manufacturer replaced paper job cards with industrial touchscreen terminals, boosting Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by 45% and eliminating inventory discrepancies.
Paper-based tracking left management blind to production bottlenecks.
Dynacraft manufactures precision CNC-machined components for major automotive tier-1 suppliers. Daily manufacturing operations relied on handwritten paper job cards moved manually from one lathe station to the next.
Production managers had no way of knowing how many units were finished until end-of-day tally sheets were compiled. Machine downtime, tool breakage, and scrap quantities were under-reported, creating severe delivery delays.
Critical Bottlenecks Before Solution
- ✕Physical job cards frequently lost or damaged on messy shopfloor stations
- ✕Raw material stockouts discovered only after CNC machines were already setup
- ✕Inability to trace defective batches back to specific heat numbers or machine operators
- ✕Massive lag in reporting daily shift productivity to enterprise customers
Rugged tablet terminals with barcode scanning and live machine telemetry.
Pixility deployed a lightweight, industrial-grade web terminal running on ruggedized Android tablets mounted at each CNC workstation, coupled with barcode scanner guns.
Operators scan the work order barcode to log cycle start, pauses, tool replacements, and inspection passes. Raw materials are automatically deducted from digital inventory upon scan, while managers monitor shift output live from their phones.
Architectural Highlights
- Offline-capable Progressive Web App maintaining operational state during factory network drops
- High-density database optimized for sub-millisecond barcode lookups across 50,000+ parts
- Live WebSocket telemetry broadcasting active machine status across factory floor TV monitors
- Automated quality inspection gate enforcing mandatory tolerance checks before batch advancement
Modules deployed into production.
Workstation Operator Terminal
High-contrast, glove-friendly touchscreen UI built for harsh factory environments.
Raw Material & Warehouse Module
End-to-end inventory management tracking raw metal bars, cutting tools, and finished goods.
Live Factory Control Tower Dashboard
Executive digital wallboard displaying live machine statuses, shift outputs, and quality yields.
“Before Pixility, I had to walk the factory floor for 2 hours every evening just to know our daily output. Now I open the dashboard on my phone and see exact production numbers in real time. It's revolutionised how we work.”
