Integrated planning, production & inventory — on Web and Windows
The Problem
Manual entry, spreadsheet-style software (operators typing in large volumes of data by hand), the absence of Android handheld devices for capturing and verifying data, human error, and the lack of real-time control and data accuracy all waste resources and cause financial loss.
Mechanized data capture
Automatic weighing and data scanning with Android handheld devices
Human-error control
Validation of operator-entered data before it is committed
Web-based management console
Real-time online control of inventory and the production line
Approvals via Telegram
Approve production, sales, purchase and gate-out requests through Telegram
Integration with other software
Read and send files to accounting software and machine-data systems
Traditional methods were built for small workshops. Fabrica Pro brings integration, accuracy and real-time control to large textile operations.

How It Works
Each product is assigned a unique serial that is printed as a barcode on its label on the spot. Several products of the same code form a larger pallet or bundle, for which a separate barcode is generated.
Automatic weighing and product-code controlAll warehouse documents are processed via handheld scanners by scanning the pallet or product barcode. The storekeeper cannot change the weight, code or specifications of scanned products; once scanning is complete, the system reports these values back to them.
Mechanized goods-in and goods-outAll trims and raw materials the factory needs are recorded in blocks, along with the arrival date of each batch. The procurement and purchasing system for trims is also part of this module.
Precise reorder-point management for trimsEach production machine is assigned a serial as a barcode, and at the end of every shift its actual output is recorded with an Android handheld. After scanning a machine’s barcode, settings such as speed, operator and product code are shown to the user; once production is recorded, efficiency is calculated and stored.

Shift efficiency summary
In 9 minutes the spinning shift lead scanned the barcodes of 96 machines and entered each machine’s output weight. The system calculated the efficiency of each machine and of the whole hall and produced the report.
