Enterprise Manufacturing Workflow Management and Collaboration Platform

The client faces difficulties in streamlining communication, collaboration, and data sharing among engineering and manufacturing teams. Current tools lack real-time communication capabilities, granular permission controls, and integrated error monitoring, resulting in inefficiencies and operational bottlenecks.

A mid-sized manufacturing enterprise seeking to optimize team collaboration, data sharing, and process transparency across multiple factory sites and engineering teams.

• Develop a scalable web-based workflow management system that facilitates real-time collaboration among manufacturing teams.
• Implement role-based user permissions and invitation mechanisms to ensure secure and controlled access.
• Enable instant messaging, notifications, and thread management to improve communication efficiency.
• Integrate error monitoring tools and reliable email services for troubleshooting and system notifications.
• Deliver the application within a three-month timeframe while maintaining high quality and system stability.
• Provide comprehensive technical documentation and deployment support to ensure smooth integration with existing IT infrastructure.

• User account management with signup, login, password reset, and admin controls.
• Role-based invitation and user management to facilitate team onboarding and access control.
• Permission matrix to define granular user rights across different system modules.
• Thread management interface allowing users to create, edit, delete, and filter discussions.
• Real-time notifications and updates via WebSocket support for instant communication.
• Search functionality for quick retrieval of threads and tags.
• Integration of error monitoring tools for proactive issue detection.
• Email notification services for alerts and system communication.

• Error tracking and monitoring: Sentry or equivalent
• Email delivery: SendGrid or MailGun
• WebSocket servers for real-time updates

• System scalability to handle increasing user load and data volume with minimal latency.
• High system availability and uptime to support 24/7 manufacturing operations.
• Robust security measures for role-based permissions and data privacy.
• Code coverage exceeding 50% with comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end testing to ensure system stability.

Anticipated to significantly improve communication efficiency and operational transparency within manufacturing processes, leading to faster decision-making and reduced downtime. The project aims to deliver a stable, reliable system within three months, enabling the client to better coordinate engineering workflows and enhance productivity without exceeding budget or timeline constraints.
