Production control
Every step of production, under controlin our own ERP
We built an ERP specifically for plating. It links every department from receiving to invoicing and takes data straight from the line PLCs.
01Why we built our own
Off-the-shelf systems don’t understand plating
Plating has its own vocabulary — bars, hangers, programs, baths, rework and packing by customer lot. So we designed a system around how our plant really works: data is entered once and flows to every department automatically.
02One continuous flow
From receiving to invoice in one system
Every step references the same job number, building one complete history per lot.

Receiving
Job (SU) opened with parts and quantities

- 5
Bath checks
Analysis every four hours
- 6
QA / NG
5-point thickness and NG records
- 7
Packing

- 8
Delivery
Delivery plan and notes
- 9
Invoicing

03Real screens

Plating Bar Trace
Every plating bar is traced from the PLC, from the first cleaning tank to the oven — with its time in every tank
Chemical trends
Bath concentration against its upper and lower limits — drift shows up before it becomes a problem

05On the floor
At the line, not just in the office
Operators log work on phones and tablets, control-sheet tags follow every part, and PLCs feed the system on their own.
06What it means for you
Our data is your confidence
Every lot is traceable
From the customer lot number we can see which tanks the parts went through, for how long, current, oven temperature, bath results and thickness readings.
Instant status answers
Where a job is, how much is packed, when it ships — sales can answer in seconds.
Quality backed by data
Every check is recorded and approved in the system — not on paper that gets lost.
Faster claim analysis
When something goes wrong, real data from every step lets us find and fix the root cause.
