How does the system connect to ERP?

Production orders are typically pulled from your ERP (SAP, Oracle) via API integration or file export. Completed production orders and actual material consumption are pushed back to the ERP. The specific integration method depends on your ERP - mention it in your prompt.

How do operators use the system on the shop floor?

Operators access job cards on ruggedized tablets or monitor stations at each work center. They scan the production order barcode, record start/end times, enter quantity produced and scrapped, and complete quality inspection checklists.

A routing is the sequence of manufacturing operations and work centers a product goes through in production. Each routing step has a standard setup time and run time per unit. The system uses routings to schedule production orders and track WIP progress.

Build a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with AI - in Hours

ProjectCode generates a complete, production-ready Manufacturing Execution System (MES) from a single natural language prompt. In hours instead of months, you get a React frontend, NestJS REST API, PostgreSQL database, and authentication - fully integrated, live-previewed, and deployed to a URL you own.

The Challenge

Why building a Manufacturing from scratch is hard

Building a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing manufacturing-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Manufacturing needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Manufacturing with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Production order management from ERP to shop floor

Work center scheduling with capacity and availability planning

Bill of materials (BOM) and routing management

Real-time WIP tracking with operator job cards

Quality control with inspection plans and defect recording

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) monitoring

Material consumption and inventory management

Production reporting: output, scrap, efficiency by shift and line

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Manufacturing follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for manufacturing workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated manufacturing modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all manufacturing entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live manufacturing status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Manufacturing

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

production_orders (id, product_id, bom_id, routing_id, planned_qty, actual_qty, status, planned_start, actual_start, planned_end, actual_end, workspace_id)
work_centers (id, name, type, capacity_per_shift, current_utilization, status, oee_target, workspace_id)
quality_inspections (id, production_order_id, operation_id, type, sample_size, defects_found, pass_fail, inspector_id, inspected_at)
bom_items (id, bom_id, component_id, quantity, unit, scrap_factor, is_critical)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Manufacturing

Overall Equipment Effectiveness is the gold standard manufacturing productivity metric. OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality. Availability is uptime vs planned time; Performance is actual output rate vs ideal rate; Quality is good units vs total units produced. The system calculates OEE in real time from downtime logs, production counts, and quality inspection results.
