Problems I Actually Solved

The daily frustrations that drove me to build this

📊 Production Tracking Evolution

The journey from clipboard to traceability
📋
Stage 1

Clipboard

Supervisor walks floor every morning. Writes down readings. Enters into Excel later.

❌ One person bottleneck
📊
Stage 2

Google Sheets

Operators enter their own counts. Goes to spreadsheet. But data gets overwritten daily.

⚠️ No history, no traceability
🤖
Stage 3

Telegram Bot

Same simple input. Every reading saved. Batch created. Track through QC → Warehouse → Ship.

✅ Full history & traceability

📋 Production Planning Evolution

From notebook to real-time Kanban
📓
Stage 1

Excel as Notebook

Machine list in Excel. Manual copy-paste. "Who updated this?" Version conflicts.

❌ Error-prone chaos
📊
Stage 2

Excel + Macros

Formulas and macros. Data from Google Sheets pasted in. Works, but no real-time view.

⚠️ Better, but offline & manual
📱
Stage 3

Visual Kanban

Data pulls automatically. Drag jobs to machines. See all queues. Plan in seconds.

✅ Real-time & effortless

🔔 QC Communication Evolution

From "where's the machinist?" to instant alerts
🪑
Stage 1

The "Check Table"

Part on table → QC doesn't notice. QC checks → hunts for machinist. Machinist on break. Everyone running around.

❌ Chaos & lost time
📟
Stage 2

Restaurant Pagers

Machinist takes pager. QC finishes → pager buzzes. No more running. But local only, no history.

⚠️ Better, but limited
📱
Stage 3

Bot Notifications

Machinist logs in bot → all QC get alert. QC approves → machinist & operators notified. Full transparency.

✅ Instant & tracked

🧭 Process Gates (the "Lazy Manager" part)

Automation that replaces follow-ups, reminders, and "did you do it?" questions
Gate 1

Material is mandatory

If material isn’t issued and registered to the machine, a machinist can’t register setup start. No "we’ll write it later".

Gate 2

QC sees inputs upfront

QC immediately sees what material batch was issued to that machine, and can verify documentation before approving.

Gate 3

Program Vault handover

After setup is completed and sent to QC, the machinist must upload the outgoing CNC program to the database (or write a reason). Otherwise the workflow won’t move forward.

Gate 4

Warehouse warnings

During material issue, the warehouse person gets warnings like "check whether material from the previous job is still on the machine". The system prevents silent accumulation of mistakes.

This is the first software I've seen that was actually designed for how manufacturing people think.

Built by Manufacturer, for Manufacturers

Created from 20 Years of Real Experience

I'm not a software vendor who studied manufacturing. I'm a COO with 3+ years running production and 20 years in the industry — who built this system to solve my own problems.

This project started with zero commercial intent — just a frustration with existing tools that didn't understand how we actually work. Every feature exists because I needed it on my shop floor.

My Philosophy: The Lazy Manager Approach

I believe in systems that force continuity. Not by "telling people what to do", but by embedding the business process so the next step is simply impossible to skip.

  • No issued material → no setup start. If material isn’t registered to the machine, setup can’t begin.
  • QC sees the material + docs immediately. No "where is the certificate?" hunting.
  • No outgoing CNC program handover → no QC send. Upload the program to Program Vault or write a reason.
  • Warehouse warnings on issue. The system reminds what must be checked before repeating mistakes from the previous job.

Implementation (How It’s Rolled Out)

A practical path: from today’s reality to a self-driving workflow

1

Explore

Map roles + "where the process breaks". Decide which steps must be gated.

Day 1
2

Realize

Connect machines + set the core flows (materials → setup → QC → warehouse).

Days 1–3
3

Prep

Configure warehouse segments, Program Vault profiles (ch1/ch2/…), and notifications.

Week 1
4

Deploy

Go live on the floor. The system enforces continuity so managers don’t have to.

What It Does

The features I needed on my shop floor - and built myself

📊

Real-time Utilization

Hourly shift utilization with color-coded thresholds. Compare shifts. Identify patterns and bottlenecks.

⏱️

Downtime Tracking

Automatic downtime detection with idle-time alerts via Telegram. See exactly where time is lost.

📺

TV Mode

Large-screen dashboard for shop floor displays. Auto-refresh keeps data current.

🔧

Setup Time Analysis

Track changeover times. Optimize scheduling. Reduce non-productive time.

👷

Operator Tracking

See who's working on each machine. Track assignments and shifts in real-time.

🔌

Universal Connectivity

FOCAS native for FANUC, Modbus I/O for any machine with a counter signal. Edge Gateway with offline-first architecture.

The Ecosystem

One platform, split into modules — each removes a specific "management load"

🚀 Where It All Started

🤖 Telegram Bot

The daily UI for operators and machinists. Zero "new app adoption" — just a workflow embedded into chat.

📊 Production Tracking Operators enter counter readings directly in chat
🔧 Setup Management Machinists create setups via QR-code or manual input
🔔 Smart Notifications Plan completion, QC requests, setup changes
🧠 AI Assistant Project-aware advisor + on-the-fly translations (RU → HE)
✅ QC Integration Quality control approvals and rejections
📦 Warehouse Tracking Batch location and status tracking

Why Telegram? Operators already use it. No app installation needed. Works on any phone. Instant push notifications.

Web Interface

📋 MES Dashboard

Role-based web UI for planning and operations. This is where managers, QC, and warehouse work.

  • Kanban board with drag & drop — plan jobs across machines visually
  • QC batch processing — approve/reject with full traceability
  • Order management + production reports
  • Role-based views: operator, machinist, QC, warehouse, admin

Decision Support

🧠 AI Advisor (DB-aware)

A project-aware chat: ask questions in natural language, get answers from your production data via generated SQL.

  • Text2SQL — ask "how many parts did we make last week?" and get an answer
  • Understands your database schema + project context
  • Results as tables and charts (bar/line/pie)
  • Feedback loop (thumbs up/down) for AI training
🧠

Ask Anything
