Shop Floor MES Terminal (Tablet Job Execution)

ECOSIRE builds a dedicated Frappe app — a proper module with its own hooks.py, DocTypes, server scripts and client scripts — that sits on top of your existing ERPNext manufacturing data without forking core. The heart of it is a full-screen, touch-first terminal page (a Frappe web/portal page plus supporting client scripts) that binds directly to the standard Job Card and its Job Card Time Log child table. An operator taps Start and we open a time log via the start_job/complete_job whitelisted methods; Pause and Complete write back through the same audited path so your Work Order operation times, for_quantity, total_completed_qty and process_loss_qty stay canonical. Good, scrap and rework quantities are captured on the same screen with large numeric keypads and posted straight to the Job Card, so manufactured_qty and scrap reconcile the moment the operation ends — not at midnight.

Under the hood we add the pieces ERPNext core leaves out. A Shop Floor Downtime Log DocType (linked to Workstation and Job Card) with a configurable Downtime Reason master lets operators tap a reason — changeover, breakdown, material starvation, no operator — the instant a machine stops, which is what makes real OEE reporting possible later. Inline Quality Inspection prompts are wired to specific operations so the terminal refuses to let an operator complete a step until the required tests (against your Quality Inspection Template readings) are entered and pass/fail-recorded. Operator identity is handled by a badge-scan or PIN login that resolves to an Employee/User, honoring Frappe role profiles and permissions so a terminal only exposes the work centers that operator is assigned to. Everything the terminal does travels over the Frappe REST API and whitelisted server methods, secured by the same permission layer as the rest of your site — no bypass of ERPNext's access controls.

Because it is a real Frappe app and not a hacked-in script, it upgrades cleanly with the rest of your bench, supports Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16, and coexists with a scheduler event that can, for example, auto-close orphaned time logs or push a shift-summary. Doc events in hooks.py keep the terminal's writes consistent with any downstream automation you already run on Job Cards.

This is a build-to-order engagement, not an app-store download. It starts with a short scoping call where we map your work centers, operation flow, quality checkpoints and downtime taxonomy to the exact terminal behavior you need. We then build your version, test it on a staging bench against your data, run UAT with your operators, and install it on your production site. Typical delivery is 2-4 weeks from confirmed scope, and you receive the full source code and git repository so you are never locked to us.
