Production & MES

Real-time control of every machine

Machine counters stream into Prodex over MQTT and become live dashboards, OEE scores and automatic downtime records. No clipboards, no end-of-shift surprises.

πŸ“ˆ

Live OEE per machine

Availability, performance and quality calculated continuously from counter data, with reference vs. actual cycle time and cavity tracking.

πŸ›‘

Automatic downtime

A machine that stops counting opens its own downtime record. Operators classify it later with a 4-level reason taxonomy and foreman RFID sign-off.

🚨

Special alerts

Quantity exceeded, last pallet, cycle overrun, missing cavity, running without a work order β€” filtered views and pulsing andon alerts.

πŸ“Ί

Andon TV screens

Unauthenticated full-screen boards tuned for Android TVs: stopped machines with reasons, alert zones, daily KG and OEE β€” refreshed continuously.

πŸ”Ž

Work-order deep dive

Per-order analysis: KPI cards, cycle trends against reference, downtime breakdowns, operator work time and linked quality approvals.

πŸ“„

Production reports

TEEP waterfall from total capacity to realized output, daily production vs. plan, and fully transparent OEE and capacity calculation details.

πŸ”¬

Stops, in full detail

Performance analysis shows everything technicians recorded in the second step: 3rd and 4th category levels, the detailed description, the spare-part cost and the parts consumed with quantities β€” plus who opened the stop and who completed its detail, as separate columns.

🚦

Live work-order states

Running green, stopped red, and the cases worth arguing about in amber: should be running but the machine is idle, should be running but the machine is on another order, or the planned window has passed unfinished.

♻️

Waste with a reason

Scrap and raw-material waste are both entered with a reason code and an operator behind them, posted as proper consumption documents and listed on one page with product / raw-material filters and Excel export.

Shop-Floor Kiosk

A touch terminal at every machine

Operators run their entire shift from a rugged touch kiosk: no keyboard, no passwords, no paper. Every action is gated by an RFID badge tap, so every transaction knows exactly who did what β€” and technicians use the same terminal to record stops, maintenance and the parts they fitted.

  • Production entry in boxes β€” the ERP factor converts to pieces, capped by what the counter actually produced
  • QR-verified production for clean-room items β€” single-use QR codes block mislabeling atomically, with an authorized PIN or badge bypass for the day the printer dies
  • Label printing β€” WYSIWYG label designer, silent printing, reprint archive with full audit
  • Stock-shortage guard β€” missing components pop a detailed modal and WhatsApp the warehouse team with a screenshot
  • Recipe, work-order queue and downtime tabs β€” everything an operator needs, in their language
  • Language on the spot β€” a flag next to the clock switches the kiosk between TΓΌrkΓ§e, English and Deutsch, remembered per terminal
  • The plan, on the machine β€” a full-screen work-order view with a touch list per machine and a zoomable timeline with day markers and a now line
  • Counter resets that cannot lie β€” resets are rebased in the database rather than trusting the device to hear the signal, so a missed reset never invents production

The whole plant, on one wall

Public, login-free TV boards tuned for 24/7 Android TV displays. Stopped machines with their downtime reasons, alert zones, daily kilograms, yesterday's OEE and personnel needs β€” visible from across the hall.

  • Alert zones β€” quantity exceeded, last pallet and cycle overrun, each machine color-pulsing by state
  • Physical andon buttons β€” supervisor and quality calls from the machine, paged to the right people by shift
  • WhatsApp snapshot β€” ask the assistant for "andon" and get a live screenshot of this board
