Key Features

Custom Frappe app `ecosire_ai_manufacturing` installed into your existing bench via `bench get-app` / `bench install-app`, compatible with ERPNext v15 and v16
`Sensor Reading` ingest DocType with whitelisted REST endpoints for PLC/SCADA/IoT gateways, MQTT bridges, or scheduled CSV drops — no third-party data lake required
Predictive-maintenance models trained on your historical `Asset`, downtime, and maintenance-log data, writing `Failure Risk Score` records per asset on a scheduler cadence
Remaining-useful-life (`RUL Estimate`) DocType per critical asset, surfaced inline on the native `Asset` form via client script with a color-coded indicator
AI schedule and sequence recommendations that weigh predicted asset availability against the existing Production Plan and `Job Card` order, delivered as accept/ignore `Schedule Recommendation` records
Real-time anomaly detection on `Quality Inspection` and `Job Card` yield/scrap via doc-event hooks in `hooks.py`, flagging out-of-envelope values on submit
Failure-risk scoring model that correlates telemetry drift with historical failure events, exposed as a sortable/ filterable Frappe report and workspace dashboard
Alert routing through Frappe Notifications, email, and optional webhook when a risk score crosses a configurable threshold, with assignment to the right maintenance role
`scheduler_events` (hourly and daily) registered in `hooks.py` for telemetry pull, model inference, and scheduled retraining — no external cron to babysit
Explainable predictions: every risk score and RUL estimate links back to the contributing signals and records, so planners and auditors can see why
DocType-level permissions and Frappe role profiles scoping maintenance engineers, production planners, and plant managers to the right records
Whitelisted Python methods (`@frappe.whitelist()`) exposing scores, recommendations, and RUL to external dashboards (Power BI, Grafana) over the authenticated REST API
Native Frappe workspace, number cards, and dashboard charts for a plant-manager view of asset health, open risks, and recommendation acceptance rate
Configurable model thresholds, retraining cadence, and metric envelopes managed through a `Predictive Maintenance Settings` single DocType — tunable without redeploying code

About this Product

Mid-large manufacturers running ERPNext have clean transactional data — Work Orders, Job Cards, BOMs, Quality Inspections, downtime logs — but ERPNext core has no notion of what will happen next. Production planning is capacity- and lead-time-driven, not risk-aware: the Production Plan solves for material availability, not for the workcenter that is three shifts away from a bearing failure. Maintenance lives in the Asset Maintenance schedule as fixed calendar intervals, and quality is a pass/fail Inspection after the fact. When a critical machine fails mid-run or a yield drift goes unnoticed for a week, that intelligence was sitting in your data the whole time — ERPNext just isn't built to model it. This is exactly where teams bolt on spreadsheets, Power BI exports, and tribal knowledge.

ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe app (ecosire_ai_manufacturing) that installs into your existing bench and adds a predictive layer directly on top of your ERPNext manufacturing documents — no data migration, no parallel system. We model the app as first-class DocTypes: a Sensor Reading ingest DocType (tag, asset, metric, value, timestamp) fed via the Frappe REST API and whitelisted ingest methods, plus Failure Risk Score, RUL Estimate (remaining useful life), Maintenance Recommendation, and Schedule Recommendation DocTypes that reference the native Asset, Workstation, Work Order, and Job Card records. Role profiles and DocType-level permissions keep the maintenance team, planners, and plant managers scoped to what they should see, and the whole thing is Frappe Desk-native — list views, reports, dashboards, and workspaces your users already know.

Technically, the intelligence runs through scheduler events and doc events rather than a black box. hooks.py registers scheduler_events (hourly/daily) that pull recent telemetry and Work Order history, run the trained models, and write scored predictions back as records. Server scripts and doc-event hooks on Job Card and Quality Inspection submit trigger anomaly checks in real time — a yield or scrap value outside the learned envelope raises a flagged record and routes an alert. Client scripts surface the risk scores and RUL estimates inline on the Asset and Work Order forms, with color-coded indicators and one-click drill-down. Failure-risk scoring uses your historical downtime and maintenance records; schedule recommendations weigh predicted asset availability against the existing Production Plan and Job Card sequence so planners get a ranked "sequence this instead" suggestion they can accept or ignore. Models are trained on your own data during the build, retrained on a scheduler cadence, and every prediction is explainable back to the contributing signals — no unauditable scoring.

Because this is build-to-order, nothing is a generic download. After a scoping call we confirm which assets are instrumented, what telemetry you can expose (PLC/SCADA/IoT gateway, CSV drop, or REST push), your quality metrics, and your ERPNext version (v15 or v16). We build against that scope, validate the models on your historical data, and deliver an installable app plus the trained pipeline. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope depending on data readiness and the number of asset classes. You get the source, a git repo handover, UAT on a staging bench with a rollback plan, and a post-go-live support window — the app is yours to run, extend, or hand to another team.

What you get

  • Installable source code for your scoped version of the `ecosire_ai_manufacturing` Frappe app, pinned to your ERPNext v15/v16
  • On-bench installation and configuration (`bench install-app`, migrations, scheduler enablement, telemetry ingest wiring)
  • Trained model pipeline built and validated on your own historical manufacturing and asset data
  • Technical documentation: DocType schemas, hooks and scheduler events, REST ingest contract, model retraining runbook
  • End-user guide plus a live training session for maintenance engineers, planners, and plant managers
  • UAT on a staging bench with a documented rollback plan before any production cutover
  • Post-go-live support window for defect fixes, threshold tuning, and questions
  • Git repository handover with full commit history so your team can extend or maintain the app independently

Who this is for

Industry 4.0 / Digital Transformation Lead

Owns the smart-factory roadmap and needs predictive maintenance and AI scheduling running on the ERP of record rather than a disconnected data-science silo. Wants telemetry-to-action inside ERPNext, with explainable models and a clear ROI story for the board.

Maintenance / Reliability Manager

Runs asset uptime and is tired of fixed-calendar Asset Maintenance schedules that either over-service healthy machines or miss failing ones. Needs failure-risk scores, RUL estimates, and routed alerts tied to real telemetry so crews intervene before a breakdown.

Production Planning Manager

Builds Production Plans and sequences Job Cards, and wants schedule recommendations that account for which assets are likely to go down. Needs accept/ignore suggestions inside the existing planning flow, not a separate optimization tool to reconcile.

ERPNext Platform Owner / Head of IT

Responsible for the bench, upgrades, and data governance. Cares that the solution is a clean Frappe app with proper DocTypes, permissions, and REST APIs, that it survives v15→v16 upgrades, and that the source and git repo are handed over so there's no vendor lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions about AI Production Planner & Predictive Maintenance

How long does delivery take?

This is a build-to-order app, not an instant download. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, depending on how ready your telemetry and historical data are and how many asset classes we're modeling. After the scoping call we give you a firm timeline and milestones before any work starts.

Is this an existing app I can just download from the Frappe Cloud Marketplace?

No. ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs, and supports it specifically for your ERPNext setup. There is no off-the-shelf download — the DocTypes, ingest contract, and models are built and trained against your assets, data, and version so the predictions are actually useful on day one.

Which ERPNext versions do you support?

We build for ERPNext / Frappe v15 and v16. During scoping we pin the app to your exact version and branch, and we build with the upgrade path in mind so a future v15→v16 migration is a supported, tested step rather than a rebuild.

How does the AI actually get my machine data?

Through a `Sensor Reading` ingest DocType with whitelisted REST endpoints. Your PLC/SCADA system, IoT gateway, MQTT bridge, or a scheduled CSV drop pushes readings into ERPNext over the authenticated Frappe REST API. If a machine can emit a value, we can ingest it — and where telemetry is thin, models still use your Work Order, downtime, and Quality Inspection history.

Do I own the code, and is there vendor lock-in?

You own it. Deliverables include the full installable source and a git repository handover with commit history. It's a standard Frappe app on your bench, so your team — or any other Frappe developer — can maintain and extend it. We're here for support, not to hold your code hostage.

What about support and updates after go-live?

Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes, threshold tuning, and questions. Beyond that we offer optional ongoing support and retraining plans, plus version-compatibility updates when you upgrade ERPNext. Model retraining runs on a scheduler cadence we configure, and thresholds are tunable by your team without a redeploy.

How are the predictions kept trustworthy and auditable?

Every risk score and RUL estimate links back to the contributing signals and source records, so maintenance and quality teams can see why a flag was raised. Predictions are written as native ERPNext records with full audit trail, permissions, and versioning — nothing happens in an opaque external black box.
