The Production page in Fabritec allows you to monitor, update, and control all manufacturing activities across your factory.
It provides complete visibility over items in production, user access permissions, and workflow progress β ensuring accuracy, speed, and smooth operations.Production is divided into five main sections:π Where to Find Production
Production β My Production / Items / Undefined Items / Access / LogsEach section provides tools for managing and tracking production workflows.
π My Production#
The My Production tab displays production-ready items that require action or updates.This tab is designed to help production users focus only on items that:Are ready for stage updates
Belong to stages assigned to the logged-in user
It acts as a personalized production workspace, filtering items based on user access and responsibility.
What You Can Do in My Production#
Record production progress
Submit completed operations
Track items assigned to your production stages
Perform bulk updates (if enabled)
This ensures production teams work only on relevant and actionable items.
π¦ Items#
The Items tab lists all components currently in the production cycle.
From here, you can track item details, update stages, export reports, or perform batch operations.Unlike My Production, this view shows all production items across the factory, regardless of user-specific responsibility.#
At the top of the Items page, you will find:Bulk Update β Update multiple items at once
Excel Export β Export the item list in Excel format
PDF Export β Export data as a PDF report
Refresh β Reload the latest data
Clear Filter β Reset all applied filters
Search Bar β Quickly locate items
Columns Menu β Show or hide table columns
You can also switch between:
Items Table Overview#
The table displays all active production items with detailed specifications.Key Columns#
| Column | Description |
|---|
| Phase | The project phase the item belongs to |
| Mark | Unique identifier of the component |
| Category | Item classification (Trusses, Frames, etc.) |
| Type | Assembly or Sub-assembly |
| Operation | Assigned operation (Manufacture, Assembly, etc.) |
| Qty | Number of units |
| Stage | Current production stage (Cutting, Welding, Fittingβ¦) |
| Status | Availability or progress state |
| Profile | Material profile / dimensions |
| Drawing | Linked engineering drawing |
Item Actions#
Each item row includes quick-access actions:Update Stage#
Move the item to the next production stage and record progress.Item Details#
Opens a detailed view, including:Timestamped progress logs
Project & phase information
View Drawing#
Displays the related engineering drawing for accurate production execution.
Bulk Update#
The Bulk Update feature allows you to update multiple items simultaneously β ideal for batch manufacturing.What You Can Update#
Notes or additional details
This ensures consistency and saves significant time in high-volume operations.
β οΈ Undefined Items#
The Undefined Items tab appears only when the system detects production items that do not yet have a defined production route.These items cannot proceed through the production workflow until their operation type, category, and production stages are defined.This tab ensures that all items entering production have a properly configured manufacturing route.
Why Items Become Undefined#
Items may appear in this tab when:The item does not have an assigned production route
The category or operation type is missing
Required production stages are not defined
The item was imported without a complete manufacturing configuration
Undefined items must be configured before they can move into the normal production workflow.
Defining an Undefined Item#
To define an undefined item:1.
Navigate to Production β Undefined Items
2.
Locate the item in the table
3.
Click the Define Route action
4.
Configure the production route details
5.
Save the route configuration
Once defined, the item will automatically move into the production workflow.
Edit Route Window#
When defining an item route, the Edit Route panel opens.This window allows you to configure the production process for the selected item.Configuration Fields#
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Category | Defines the production category (e.g., Trusses, Frames) |
| Operation Type | Specifies the operation such as Manufacture or Assembly |
| Track Item Unit | Enables unit-level tracking for detailed progress monitoring |
| Select from Preset Mark | Allows applying a predefined route configuration |
| Production Stages | Defines the sequence of stages the item will pass through |
After configuration, click Save Route to apply the production workflow.
Batch Definition#
Multiple undefined items can be selected and configured together.1.
Select one or more items from the table
3.
Configure the production route
This helps production planners quickly configure large batches of items.
After Definition#
Once an item route is defined:The item moves to the Production Items list
Production stages become available
The item becomes visible in My Production if assigned to a user stage
The item can proceed through the manufacturing workflow
This ensures every production item follows a controlled and traceable manufacturing process.
π Access#
The Access tab controls which users are authorized to update production stages.
Fabritec ensures that only trained and approved personnel can modify production progress.Users Table#
Assigned Production Stages
Users may be assigned to one or more production stages based on their roles.
Available Production Stages#
Common production stages include:Only users assigned to a stage can update items within that stage.
βοΈ Editing User Access#
Add or remove stage permissions
Restrict or expand user roles
Control who is allowed to submit progress updates
This ensures data accuracy, safety, and proper workflow management.
π Logs#
The Logs tab provides a complete history of all completed production processes.
It allows supervisors and management teams to:Review production activity
Monitor worker performance
Audit production quantities
Analyze inspection outcomes
Unlike the Items tab, which shows current production status, the Logs tab focuses on recorded production executions.
Filtering & Reviewing Logs#
Using filters, you can review production processes based on:Date Range (e.g., review production within specific dates)
This allows for period-based performance analysis and operational audits.
Editing a Log Entry#
Before any quality feedback is submitted, a production log entry can be modified.
You can update:Assigned Workers (Labours)
This ensures correction of operational data entry errors while maintaining traceability.
Deleting a Log Entry#
If a production process was logged incorrectly, and no quality feedback has been recorded, the log entry can be deleted.The item reappears in the Production list
The stage becomes available again for processing
Quantities are restored accordingly
This prevents incorrect production submissions from affecting workflow continuity.
Log Table Overview#
Each row represents a completed production operation record.π Permission Control#
Only users with the following role permissions can access or edit logs:Permissions are managed under User Management β Roles.
β Best Practices#
Update item stages immediately when work is completed
Use Bulk Update for large item batches
Restrict access to maintain production data integrity
Export data daily or weekly for reviews
Refresh frequently to sync real-time updates
Always check engineering drawings before fabrication begins
