Production Workflow

We engineer custom Production Workflow and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to digitize the factory floor. By replacing chaotic paper trails and generic spreadsheets with a structured, automated workflow engine, we enable sign fabricators to track complex jobs from initial design approval to final quality assurance.

Architectural Overview

The physical manufacturing of commercial signage involves multiple disjointed disciplines—welding, CNC routing, electrical wiring, and vinyl plotting. Our software creates a unified digital thread that binds these stations. We deploy ruggedized touch-terminal interfaces directly to the factory floor, allowing fabricators to interact with CAD schematics and log labor hours without returning to a central office.

Core Capabilities

• Digital CAD/CAM Routing Automatic ingestion of AutoCAD, CorelDraw, and Illustrator files. The system securely routes the correct layer files directly to the respective machine operators, ensuring version control on the floor.
• Machine OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) Integration with IoT sensors on CNC routers and channel letter benders to automatically track machine uptime, maintenance cycles, and true operational costs.
• Algorithmic Scheduling Utilizing constraint-based programming to automatically shuffle the production queue when a machine goes down or raw materials are delayed, keeping the shop running at maximum theoretical output.
• Client Portal & Status Webhooks Automated milestone webhooks that trigger SMS or email updates to enterprise clients (e.g., "Your pylon sign has entered the electrical wiring phase"), drastically reducing inbound status inquiries.

Technology Stack

Our MES platforms are built with robust Python/Django backends utilizing Celery/Redis for background job processing and API webhooks. The factory-floor interfaces are developed as Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) using Vue.js, optimized for touch interaction on ruggedized industrial tablets running on local Intranet networks.
