Integrated manufacturing system for managing master data and Andon schedules.
Tech Stack
Key Features
- Master Data Management
- Andon Scheduling Engine
- Middleware Integration
- Hybrid Desktop/Web Architecture
- Real-time Production Sync
The Challenge
The client needed a reliable way to manage complex master data and synchronize production schedules with their physical Andon line system.
Constraints & Scale
Required seamless integration with existing Andon line middleware and a robust desktop interface for factory operators.
System Architecture
Hybrid architecture utilizing a Windows Forms desktop application for the operator interface, communicating with a Laravel-based Web API. Data is persisted in SQL Server to ensure consistency and reliability.
Key Tradeoffs
Chose a Windows Forms desktop app for the factory floor to ensure compatibility with existing industrial PC hardware, while using a modern Laravel API for the backend logic to allow for future web-based extensions.
Measurable Results
Successfully deployed the system, resulting in accurate production scheduling and real-time synchronization with the Andon display boards.
Project Details
Developed a comprehensive Master Data Management (MDM) and Andon scheduling system for a client at WINTEQ. The solution bridges the gap between administrative planning and the factory floor by integrating a desktop application with a web-based API. The system allows for the precise management of master data and the creation of production schedules, which are then synchronized with the Andon line middleware. This ensures real-time visibility of production status and efficient handling of line stoppages.
