Live Panel Tracking in Infurnia's MES Portal

Infurnia's MES (Manufacturing Execution System) portal offers comprehensive live panel tracking for your work orders, ensuring real-time updates on the manufacturing status of each panel. Here’s how you can utilize this feature effectively:

Creating and Tracking a Work Order

  1. Create a Work Order:

    • Log into your Infurnia MES portal.

    • Go to the Work Orders section.

    • Create a new work order by adding the design link and naming the work order (e.g., "Test for Panel Tracking").

    • Click Create.

  2. Verify and Enable Units for Manufacturing:

    • Check each modular unit panel-wise.

    • Verify the units to ensure they are correctly annotated and ready.

    • Enable the units for manufacturing by selecting the verified units.

  3. Generate Panel Labels with QR Codes:

    • Navigate to the Outputs section.

    • Select Panel Labels.

    • Turn on the QR Code option.

    • Download the panel labels, which will include a QR code on the top right of each label.

  4. Panel Listing and Tracking:

    • Go to Panel Listing to see all the panels categorized by cabinets (e.g., C1 with 7 panels, C2 with 7 panels).

    • The tracking status will show the progress of each panel (e.g., not started, in cutting, edge banding, CNC, rejected).

  5. Real-Time Panel Tracking:

    • Go to the Work Orders section and flip to the Tracking section.

    • Select the station (e.g., panel cutting, edge banding, CNC) where the panels are currently being processed.

    • Each station should have a computer system and a QR scanner.

  6. Scanning Panels:

    • Select the station you are working in (e.g., panel cutting).

    • Scan the QR code on the panel label.

    • The panel details will appear, showing the work order name, panel type, and current status.

    • Continue scanning panels to update their status.

    • If a panel is damaged or has defects, select the reject option, provide a reason (e.g., "damage"), and proceed.

  7. Monitoring Panel Status:

    • After processing panels in each station, return to the Work Orders section.

    • Check the updated status of each panel in the Panel Listing.

    • The cumulative data for all panels will be displayed, showing the number of panels not started, in cutting, edge banding, CNC, and rejected.

Example Workflow

  • Creating a Work Order:

    • Create a work order named "Test for Panel Tracking" with two cabinets.

  • Panel Verification and Enabling:

    • Verify and enable units for manufacturing.

  • Generating QR Code Labels:

    • Generate panel labels with QR codes and download them.

  • Tracking Process:

    • Panel Cutting:

      • Select the panel cutting station.

      • Scan the panels as they are cut.

      • Update status, reject damaged panels if necessary.

    • Edge Banding:

      • Select the edge banding station.

      • Scan the panels after edge banding.

    • CNC:

      • Select the CNC station.

      • Scan the panels post-CNC process.

  • Reviewing Status:

    • Monitor the status of each panel in the Panel Listing.

    • Check cumulative data for an overview of panel statuses.

By following these steps, you can efficiently track the live status of panels throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring real-time updates and better management of your work orders in Infurnia's MES portal.
