Manufacturing and chemicals
Production, quality and dispatch systems that connect the shop floor to the ERP, and documents that satisfy a customer audit.
What we build for manufacturing
Most plants already have an ERP that nobody enjoys using on the floor. The useful work is usually a focused system for production, quality or dispatch that people will actually use, feeding the ERP rather than replacing it.
Traceability is a data model decision
Linking raw material lots to batches and to the customers who received them has to be designed in at the start. Added later, it can only cover the period since it was added, which is the period a recall will not be about.
Typical engagements
The systems Tankar builds for manufacturing and chemicals, as deliverables rather than adjectives.
- Production and job tracking against work orders, with batch and lot traceability
- Quality inspection and non-conformance records tied to the batch they belong to
- Inventory, dispatch and consignment systems with barcode or QR scanning
- Distributor and customer portals for orders, documents and order status
- Plant dashboards drawn from machine or operator data, with alerts on defined thresholds
- Integrations with ERP, accounting and e-invoicing systems
Compliance notes
The rules that shape a build in this sector and how they are handled in the system rather than in a policy document.
| Requirement | How we build for it |
|---|---|
| Batch traceability | Chemical and regulated manufacturing needs a record that links raw material lots to finished batches and on to the customers who received them, so a recall is a query rather than an investigation. That link is designed into the data model at the start. |
| Safety data sheets and hazard labelling | Products classified under GHS need current safety data sheets and correct labels for the destination market. The document is versioned against the product and the market, so the sheet issued with a shipment can be reproduced later. |
| GST e-invoicing | Indian sellers above the notified turnover threshold report invoices to the Invoice Registration Portal and carry an invoice reference number and QR code. Dispatch documents and invoices are built against that flow, including credit notes. |
| ISO 9001 quality records | A quality management system needs evidence, not intentions. Inspections, non-conformances, corrective actions and their approvals are stored as records with owners and dates, so an audit is an export. |
