Shop Floor Data Collection

No. Shop Floor Data Collection is built to order. ECOSIRE develops it as a per-tenant AL extension tailored to your routings, work/machine centers, and item-tracking setup, then installs it on your Business Central environment via Extension Management. There is no instant AppSource download — you are buying a built, installed, and supported solution.

Typical lead time is about 2 to 4 weeks from a kickoff call, depending on how many production lines and routing variations you need mapped and whether item tracking (lots/serials) or Dataverse/Power BI integration is in scope. We confirm a firm schedule after a short discovery session reviewing your routings and shop-floor workflow.

Because the extension uses event subscribers and page/table extensions rather than modifying base objects, it survives Business Central's monthly and major updates. ECOSIRE provides a support window after go-live and can validate the extension against each major BC release. You also receive the full AL source in a Git repo, so you are never locked to us.

Yes. Every scan routes through Business Central's standard production journal posting via event subscribers, so output, scrap, and consumption create proper Capacity Ledger and Item Ledger entries. Production order cost and WIP stay consistent with the native engine — no separate ledger or reconciliation step.

Yes. The operator interface is a single-screen Business Central page designed for shared kiosks and tablets in a browser. Rugged handheld scanners and external terminals can also submit scans through the BC REST/OData v4 API into the posting buffer, which a job queue can auto-post on an interval.

Yes. Where your components use item tracking, the consumption capture prompts for lot or serial numbers so postings carry full traceability. Scrap quantities can be captured against your scrap/reason codes and flow into the production order and capacity entries for analysis.
