Order & Drawing Received
Auto-ingestion of customer inquiry email and 2D/3D CAD drawing attachments into secure storage.
Mechanical & Operational Workflow Narrative
The manufacturing lifecycle begins the instant a customer emails an inquiry or Request for Quote (RFQ) to the company's designated Mail or Microsoft 365 inbox. BreitFlow's background Ingest Bot continuously polls incoming mail, identifies engineering drawing attachments (.pdf, .dwg, .step), saves them into the tenant's isolated directory (/uploads/tenant/drawings/), and registers a draft RFQ ticket. The system extracts customer identity, RFQ reference number, part name, material grade, and target batch quantities.

The +5mm Raw Stock Allowance Engine
Why precision engineering machine shops order +5mm oversized stock and how BreitFlow automatically routes round vs. square components to appropriate beds.
The Engineering Rationale
In high-tolerance manufacturing (defense, aerospace, turbines, and railway locomotive parts), ordering raw steel bars at exact finished drawing nominal dimensions results in immediate part rejections.
Mill-delivered bar stock inherently contains mill scale, surface decarburization, micro-cracks, and roundness runout. Ordering +5.0 mm extra cut allowance guarantees that machinists can chuck the billet into the lathe or clamp it onto the milling bed and turn off a sacrificial 2.5mm radius skin.
Routed automatically to Lathe Chuck / CNC Turning Center (e.g. Jyoti DX 200). Shaves outer diameter concentricity.
Routed automatically to Milling Bed (e.g. Ace Micromatic VMC). Faces datum parallel surfaces.

Machine Bay QR Placards & Mobile Traceability
Connecting physical CNC machines and operators to the cloud ERP through printable QR code placards posted near bay stations.
Physical Station Placard
Every machine (e.g. Jyoti DX 200 CNC Lathe in Bay 1, Ace Micromatic VMC in Bay 2) is issued a standardized, high-contrast QR code placard. Pasted directly near the operator control pendant, it allows any tablet or smartphone to bind to that active bay.
Live Step Start, Pause & Resume
Operators tap Start Step when clamping raw stock, log observations, and tap Complete Step to advance the project. If tool breakage occurs, operators tap Pause, select standard reasons (Tool Wear, Re-setup, Awaiting QC), instantly alerting the manager.
On-Screen CAD Blueprint Viewer
Eliminates greasy, torn paper blueprints on the shop floor. Operators click Diagram PDF directly from their terminal to inspect 2D engineering drawings, nominal tolerances, surface finish Ra callouts, and quality inspection guidelines.
Tailored Workspaces for Every Shopfloor Role
Dedicated interfaces designed specifically for executives, production managers, shopfloor machinists, and customer procurement teams.
Executive Oversight
Real-time incoming RFQ/order influx streams, spindle machine utilization rates, inward supplier expenditures, and projected job delivery timelines.
Shopfloor Operations
Multi-item PO triage, 13-step Job Card master, Machine Queues & Hourly Variances, Operator Performance logs, GRN inwards, and Step 13 deliveries.
Machinist Terminal
Defaults to "My Assigned Jobs", station selector, CAD blueprint viewer, 1-tap Start/Pause/Complete buttons, and live comments broadcast.
B2B Self-Service
Direct client drawing submission, quotation approvals, order milestone tracking, and signed Delivery Challan PDF downloads.
