Delayed Quality Feedback
A defect is noticed at the end of the line, but because QA is tracked on paper, it takes hours for the data to reach the station that caused the defect, resulting in 50 more defective cars.

Manufacturing & Quality Dashboards
Real-time visibility for your entire assembly line.
We build custom, secure operations portals for automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers. Stop tracking quality assurance on clipboards and get a real-time digital twin of your production bottlenecks.
- Integrate factory floor IoT sensors for real-time production metrics
- Build tablet-optimized Quality Assurance (QA) apps for inspectors
- Track supply chain logistics and part shortages in one unified dashboard
Blind spots on the factory floor cost millions.
If the plant manager has to wait until the end-of-day report to realize that Station 4 was missing a critical wire harness for three hours, your production line is bleeding money.
Supply Chain Surprises
Assembly halts because a specific sub-assembly didn't arrive from a tier-1 supplier, and the operations team had no early warning system.
Disconnected Floor Data
The robots are generating massive amounts of cycle-time data, but the plant managers have no visual dashboard to actually interpret it.
The deliverables
Secure internal tools for production dominance.
We build the internal software that makes running an automotive assembly plant manageable, secure, and data-driven.
Assembly Line Dashboards
Building real-time TV dashboards for the factory floor tracking Takt time, completed units, and live bottlenecks.
Digital Inspection Apps
Developing fast, tablet-optimized PWA applications for quality inspectors to log defects, attach photos, and route vehicles to the rework bay.
Supply Chain Integrations
Connecting to your ERP (SAP/Oracle) and freight APIs to create a unified view of inbound parts vs outbound vehicle deliveries.
IoT & PLC Integrations
Writing middleware to ingest data directly from the Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) on the robots to visualize machine health.
Featured Operations Build
Replacing manual clipboard QA checks with a real-time digital dashboard.
See how we built a secure operations portal that reduced rework time by 20% for an EV manufacturer.
Factory OperationsNext.js + Tablet PWAs
OEM Assembly Line Command Center
Bringing the clipboard into the digital age.
A rapidly scaling EV manufacturer was struggling with quality control bottlenecks. Inspectors were writing down panel gap issues on paper, which were manually typed into a spreadsheet hours later.
ChallengeBy the time the rework bay received the defect data, the car had already been moved, and the station causing the defect had produced 20 more flawed vehicles.
BuildWe built a custom Next.js QA application optimized for iPads on the factory floor. Inspectors tap the location of the defect on a 2D map of the car, which instantly alerts both the rework bay and the originating station.
ImpactThe feedback loop was reduced from 4 hours to 2 seconds. The immediate alerts allowed the line managers to fix the root cause instantly, reducing total rework time by 20%.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Manufacturing Dashboards.
Answers covering IoT integration, PLCs, and factory floor UX.
How do you get data from factory robots (PLCs)?
We typically use middleware platforms (like Ignition or Kepware) that talk to the industrial PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley) using protocols like OPC UA. We then pull that data into our modern Next.js dashboards via API.
Can these dashboards run on large TVs on the factory floor?
Yes. We design specific "Andon" board views that are highly legible from 50 feet away, highlighting critical metrics like Takt time and station downtime in bright, high-contrast colors.
Are tablet apps better than paper for QA?
Infinitely. A tablet app enforces structured data (you can't skip a mandatory check), allows for photo uploads of the defect, and instantly transmits the data to the database, eliminating hours of manual data entry.
How is the dashboard secured?
Factory data is highly sensitive. We deploy these applications securely, often entirely on-premise or within a strictly firewalled VPC. Access requires strict SSO/SAML authentication and Role-Based Access Control.
Do you replace our ERP system?
No. The ERP (SAP, Oracle) remains your source of truth for inventory and financials. Our dashboards act as the visual, highly-usable layer on top of the ERP, designed specifically for the fast-paced factory floor.
