DEPLOYMENT IN PRACTICE
Start with one real process.
A local trial is the opportunity to check the workflow, network and devices against your factory’s needs.
Configure your factory
Create processes, routes, fields, employees and skill-based permissions.
Run a trial job
Test worker contributions, quality decisions, labels and production visibility.
Plan data protection
Use backup/restore and agree ownership of backups and local IT operations.
Questions before a local trial.
Does production need public internet?
No. The product is LAN-first and public internet is not required for production operation. Discuss any commercial/licensing requirements separately before deployment.
Can Admin use another factory PC?
The shared factory system is accessed across LAN/Wi-Fi, so permitted roles can use suitable connected devices.
Does it replace our ERP?
Factory Flow focuses on execution, quality and traceability. Your existing ERP continues to handle the broader business. ERP-specific connections need separate assessment.
What hardware should we use?
Exact Windows, hardware and network requirements should be confirmed for the product build and your expected workload before committing to a deployment.
Is there a cloud production database?
The stated deployment model keeps the shop-floor data on the factory’s local Windows PC/server.
