Intelligent Production Planning That Maximizes Machine Utilization and Eliminates Packaging Bottlenecks
Footwear manufacturing involves complex shop floor operations—multiple plants, high-capacity machines, frequent mold and color changes, and strict packaging requirements. Managing all of this manually often leads to idle machines, production delays, and inefficient use of space.
To address these challenges, we designed a cloud-based Shop Floor Automation (SFA) platform that intelligently plans and schedules footwear production across multiple factories in India. The system ensures higher machine utilization, fewer stoppages, and smoother end-to-end production flow.
Eg: Each finished carton must contain specific size assortments (this varies by order):
All required sizes must be produced together. If even one size is missing:
We built a smart, cloud-based SFA platform that automatically maps demand to the right machines while considering all production constraints.
Instantly adjusts schedules when:
Only affected machines are rescheduled—no full-plant disruption
Python, Django
HTML, CSS, jQuery
MySQL
Git
Cloud-based, multi-plant access
Significant reduction in idle time
Optimized production scheduling
Complete box planning eliminates delays
No half-filled boxes blocking floor space
This SFA system transforms footwear production from reactive manual scheduling to data-driven, automated planning. By considering real-world shop floor constraints—machines, molds, colors, RFID, stitching, and packaging—the platform delivers consistent output, reduced waste, and smoother operations.
The Shop Floor Automation platform enables footwear manufacturers to:
It is a practical, scalable solution built for the realities of high-volume footwear manufacturing.
