Understanding The Problem & Our Approach

The Challenge

The manufacturing plant operated with disconnected systems for production, inventory, and quality - causing 30% waste in materials and frequent production delays.

Legacy Systems Scalability Issues Data Silos

Our Solution

We implemented a full Odoo 17 Manufacturing ERP with BOM management, MRP planning, quality control workflows, IoT machine monitoring, and real-time production analytics dashboards.

End-to-End Technical Workflow

Steel order to MRP explosion, raw material procurement, work order execution on the shop floor, quality gates, and customer delivery.

01

Sales Order to MRP

Customer order triggers MRP explosion of Bill of Materials; Odoo auto-raises purchase orders for raw materials.

Input: Sales Order
Output: Purchase Orders + WOs
02

Production Scheduling

Work orders scheduled on rolling mills and furnace work centres with capacity constraints and shift plans.

Input: Work Orders + Capacity
Output: Production Schedule
03

Shop Floor Execution

Operators log work order progress via touch-screen terminals; machine OEE recorded against shift targets.

Input: Operator Log + Sensor
Output: Completion Record
04

QC & Dispatch

Steel coil/bar quality checked against certifications (mill test reports); passed stock dispatched with COC.

Input: Quality Results
Output: Mill Test Report + Delivery
How We Work

Our Development Process

A battle-tested methodology that turns complex challenges into elegant, high-performance solutions.

1

Process Audit

Comprehensive audit of manufacturing processes, pain points, and system requirements across all departments.

2

Module Architecture

Odoo module selection, custom module design, data migration planning, and integration architecture.

3

Implementation

Phased rollout of Manufacturing, Inventory, Quality, and IoT modules with employee training.

4

Go-Live & Support

Production cutover, parallel run validation, performance optimization, and ongoing support.

Built-In Capabilities

Key Features Delivered

Every solution we build comes packed with enterprise-grade features that ensure reliability, performance, and scalability.

Bill of Materials

Multi-level BOM management with version control and cost rollup calculations.

MRP Planning

Material Requirements Planning with automated procurement suggestions.

Quality Control

Inspection workflows with statistical process control and non-conformance tracking.

IoT Monitoring

Real-time machine data collection via IoT sensors for OEE tracking.

Production Analytics

Custom dashboards showing throughput, efficiency, downtime, and yield metrics.

Inventory Optimization

Automated reorder points, batch tracking, and multi-warehouse management.

Engineering Deep Dive

System Design Highlights

Key architectural decisions, data flow optimizations, and security patterns implemented for enterprise performance.

Multi-Level BoM Management

Odoo supports phantom and kit BoM types for complex steel product assemblies with version control and variant management.

Lot/Serial Traceability

Full upstream/downstream traceability from raw material heat number to finished product lot enables rapid quality recalls.

Scrap & Yield Tracking

Scrap entries per work order feed into yield analytics, identifying process bottlenecks and optimising material consumption.

Technology Stack

Built With Modern Technologies

We carefully selected a cutting-edge technology stack to ensure maximum performance, maintainability, and future-proof scalability for this project.
