About the service
I set up automatic technology card printing for a production workshop — a document with assembly stages, operation parameters, tools, and tolerances for a specific batch. Instead of an operator searching for the current version of the card on a shared drive or printing yesterday's revision, the card comes out of the printer automatically as soon as a new batch starts on the line.
I link the print trigger to the production accounting system: opening an order or scanning a batch barcode automatically triggers printing without human involvement. The card template pulls data directly from the process database — sequence of operations, cycle time, tolerances, materials — so the paper always has the current version, not an outdated export from a spreadsheet.
I separately solve the versioning problem: if a technologist changes the process — adds a control operation, changes a tolerance or tool, the system automatically picks up the change, and the next printed card already matches the new version, while the old one goes out of circulation. I set everything up turnkey: printer and station connection, template matching your card format, logic to trigger by batch event and a log showing which version was printed, when, and for which batch.
What's included in the work:
— analyzing card format and tech process database structure
— print trigger by ERP/MES event, barcode, or manual
— template for your fields and paper format
— automatic outdated version replacement
— test run on a batch and handover with instructions
