Modules

Seven product modules. Start with what hurts most, expand as you grow. Each module works standalone and shares the same data backbone.

Planning

Finite-capacity scheduling that stays honest

Drag-and-drop planning with shift calendars, changeover intelligence, and real-time rate feedback from the floor. Replace the planner's Excel with a living schedule.

  • Timeline & Kanban
  • Constraint-based sequencing
  • Freeze windows & adherence
Explore the planning module
Execution & Visibility

Real-time visibility into what's running and whether you're on track

Live line status, job progress, and gap explanation, so management gets trusted answers without walking the floor.

  • Live line status
  • Progress vs target
  • Gap analysis
Explore the execution module
Performance

OEE-lite with auto-detection and root-cause analysis

Auto-detect downtime from counters, capture reasons in one tap, and see exactly where your output is lost, availability, performance, and quality.

  • Auto downtime detection
  • 1-tap reason capture
  • OEE-lite dashboard
Explore the performance module
Digital Documentation

Digital changeovers, batch records, SOPs, and shift handovers

Replace paper checklists with enforced digital workflows. Every step is timed, every field is required, and every signature is traceable.

  • Changeover & line clearance checklists
  • Digital batch records
  • Shift handover logs
Explore the documentation module
Quality

Structured quality checks, SPC-lite, and deviation management

Move from paper QC sheets to scheduled in-process checkpoints with trend detection, defect coding, and corrective action tracking.

  • In-process checkpoints
  • SPC-lite alerting
  • Scrap & defect codes
Explore the quality module
Traceability & Inventory

Lot traceability, inventory accuracy, and line-side replenishment

Close the gap between ERP inventory and physical reality, from lot capture at batch start to FEFO enforcement and digital kanban at the line.

  • Lot-at-start capture
  • Genealogy graph & recall export
  • Consumption tracking
Explore the traceability module
Costing & Maintenance

Operational batch costing and maintenance-lite

Know the true cost per good unit and connect maintenance actions to downtime events, without full ERP cost accounting or heavyweight CMMS.

  • Batch cost per good unit
  • Cost comparison analytics
  • Work requests from downtime
Explore the costing module
Available across all modules

AI that understands your factory

Frontlink's AI agents work with deep context on your live operational data: orders, telemetry, quality records, inventory movements. Ask in plain language, get answers traced across every module, and let agents take on the legwork.

  • Natural Language Queries
  • Autonomous Task Execution
  • Audit Trails & Safety Boundaries
Explore the AI assistant
Operator Interface

The operator's command centre

A tablet-optimised interface that gives operators real-time visibility into machine performance, material consumption, and quality requirements, without leaving the production line.

  • Real-time Monitoring
  • Custom Screens
  • Downtime Monitoring

Platform foundations

01

Modular architecture

Multi-tenant, config-driven design that scales from one line to a global footprint without code forks. Start with one module and expand when you're ready.

02

Workflow engine

Visual workflow builder for approvals, escalations, and exception handling across plants. Route decisions based on roles, thresholds, and production context.

03

Unified data backbone

Real-time events contextualised in a shared namespace. ERP, machines, and people speak the same language, one PostgreSQL database with row-level tenant isolation.

04

ERP integration

Bi-directional sync with Exact Online and other ERPs. Orders, items, BOMs, and confirmations flow automatically, production reality stays aligned with finance.

05

Offline-first resilience

Edge gateways and the warehouse PWA use store-and-forward queuing. Data is never lost even when connectivity drops, operations continue uninterrupted.

06

High-volume telemetry

TimescaleDB handles millions of sensor readings per day with automatic compression and retention policies. Machine state changes reach dashboards in under a second.
