Key Features
Kiosk-style operator touch terminal as a tablet-optimized AL page — scan or select a released production order and run operations without leaving the floor
Production order start/stop that posts to native Prod. Order Routing and Capacity Ledger Entries so run/setup time and WIP stay accurate
Real-time component consumption posting through the Consumption Journal — no end-of-shift batch keying
Machine and labor time capture written to Capacity Ledger Entries against the correct work/machine center
Drag-and-drop visual production scheduling board that reads live work/machine center load and reschedules operations across resources
Live OEE calculation (availability x performance x quality) computed from the same captured shop-floor data
Scrap and downtime reason-code capture feeding output variance and OEE quality figures
Barcode / QR scanning support for orders, items, lots and serial numbers via the touch terminal
Power BI and Power Platform ready — OEE, scrap and throughput exposed through the BC OData/REST API and surfaced in Dataverse
Dedicated permission sets for operators, supervisors and planners following least-privilege BC security
Job queue entries for background OEE rollups and shift summaries so terminals stay responsive
Built entirely on table/page extensions and event subscribers — your BC upgrade path and base manufacturing logic remain intact
About this Product
Business Central ships solid manufacturing master data — production orders, routings, work and machine centers, output and consumption journals — but the shop floor still runs on paper travelers, end-of-shift batch entry, and a planner staring at a spreadsheet. This app closes that gap.
Why Choose Manufacturing Shop-Floor & MES for Business Central
Kiosk-style operator touch terminal as a tablet-optimized AL page — scan or select a released production order and run operations without leaving the floor
Production order start/stop that posts to native Prod. Order Routing and Capacity Ledger Entries so run/setup time and WIP stay accurate
Real-time component consumption posting through the Consumption Journal — no end-of-shift batch keying
Machine and labor time capture written to Capacity Ledger Entries against the correct work/machine center
Drag-and-drop visual production scheduling board that reads live work/machine center load and reschedules operations across resources
Live OEE calculation (availability x performance x quality) computed from the same captured shop-floor data
ECOSIRE builds a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) layer directly on your Business Central tenant as a per-tenant AL extension (not a generic AppSource download). Operators work from a kiosk-style touch terminal — a custom AL page optimized for tablets — where they scan or select a released production order, hit start/stop on operations, post component consumption, and record machine and labor time. Every action writes through native BC objects (Capacity Ledger Entries, Item Ledger Entries, Prod. Order Routing) via table and page extensions plus event subscribers, so your costing, inventory, and WIP stay correct with zero double entry.
Planners get a visual scheduling board that reads work/machine center load and lets you drag operations across resources and time. OEE is computed live from the same captured data — availability, performance and quality — with scrap and downtime reason codes feeding dashboards you can surface in BC or push to Power BI through the BC OData/REST API and Dataverse.
Because it's build-to-order, we scope the workflow to your plant — discrete or process, barcode or manual, single or multi-site — install it into sandbox first, validate against your real orders, then promote to production. You own the tenant; ECOSIRE owns the build, the permission sets, the job queue jobs, and the ongoing support. Honest lead times and a real human behind every update.
What you get
- A per-tenant AL extension (.app) built for your Business Central version, installed first to your sandbox then promoted to production
- Configured operator touch terminal pages mapped to your work centers, machine centers and routings
- Visual scheduling board configured against your plant's resources and shift calendars
- OEE, scrap and downtime reason-code setup with live dashboards (and optional Power BI dataset via the BC API)
- Role-based permission sets for operators, supervisors and planners, plus job queue jobs for background rollups
- Source code handover, deployment notes, an operator quick-start guide and a post-go-live support window
Who this is for
Production / Operations Manager
Owns plant throughput and on-time delivery. Wants real-time visibility into what each order and machine is doing right now, live OEE, and scrap trends — instead of reconstructing the day from paper travelers the next morning.
Production Planner / Scheduler
Sequences released orders across work and machine centers. Needs a drag-and-drop board showing true load so they can rebalance around breakdowns and rush jobs without overloading a resource or breaking BC's capacity ledger.
Shop-Floor Operator / Supervisor
Runs the machines and reports the work. Needs a fast, low-friction touch terminal to start/stop operations, post consumption, scan lots and log scrap — without learning the full Business Central client.

Frequently Asked Questions about Manufacturing Shop-Floor & MES for Business Central
+How long does delivery take, and how is the app installed?
This is build-to-order, not an instant AppSource download. After a short scoping call we typically deliver in 3 to 6 weeks depending on plant complexity (number of work centers, barcode vs. manual capture, process vs. discrete, multi-site). We build the AL extension, install it into your Business Central sandbox first, validate it against your real production orders and routings, then promote the signed .app to your production tenant during an agreed window. You keep full ownership of the tenant throughout.
+What happens with ongoing support and Business Central updates?
ECOSIRE supports the extension after go-live. Because it's built on table/page extensions and event subscribers rather than modifying base objects, it survives Microsoft's monthly service updates and major version upgrades cleanly. When Microsoft ships a new BC major release, we recompile and re-test the extension against the new runtime in your sandbox before it reaches production. Bug fixes during the support window are included; new features or scope changes are quoted separately. You also receive the source so you're never locked in.
+Will this corrupt my costing, inventory or WIP in Business Central?
No. Every shop-floor action posts through native BC manufacturing objects — Prod. Order Routing, Capacity Ledger Entries, the Consumption and Output Journals, Item Ledger Entries. The terminal is a faster front end for the same postings your accountants already trust, so standard/actual costing, WIP and inventory remain the single source of truth. We never write directly around the ledger.
+Does it work for process manufacturing, or only discrete?
Both. We scope the capture workflow to your plant during build-to-order. Discrete shops get order/operation start-stop and component scanning; process shops can capture batch consumption, yield and scrap against the same production order and routing structures. The OEE and scheduling board logic adapts to either model.
+Can we get the data into Power BI or the Power Platform?
Yes. OEE, scrap, downtime and throughput are exposed through the Business Central OData/REST API and can flow into Dataverse, so you can build Power BI dashboards or trigger Power Automate flows (for example, alert a supervisor when a line's availability drops). We can deliver a starter Power BI dataset as part of the engagement if you want it.
