Manufacturing Client — On-site DX Story

Multi-process shop-floor production, Visualized with kintone

ProLine is an on-site production management solution built as a custom plugin on the no-code platform kintone — recording per-process work completion, output by time slot, and workers on the spot, matching parts by QR, and exporting daily reports and aggregations to Excel/CSV in one click.

An on-site DX story: extending kintone over 7 months to solve the challenges of "invisible progress, tedious aggregation, matching errors, and manual reports."

CLIENT
About the client

A manufacturing client with a multi-process production floor.

The manufacturing client operates production lines that finish products through multiple processes. Quickly grasping on-site progress, output, and quality and turning it into improvement was the challenge.

Building on kintone, a no-code platform already in use, we added shop-floor-specific production management features as a custom plugin. Without a large-scale platform overhaul, we achieved on-site DX in a short time.

CHALLENGE
Shop-floor challenges to solve

From paper and manual work to real-time visibility.

Progress is invisible

Process progress was shared via Paper & verbal channels, so it could not be tracked in real time.

Aggregation is tedious

Aggregating output and workers by time slot relied on Manual work and was slow.

Matching errors

Part mix-ups and matching errors stemmed from Visual checks.

Manual reports

Daily reports & forms went through Manual transcription, so double entry was a burden.

ARCHITECTURE
Architecture built together

Extending kintone to build four areas.

We built on-site entry, process/output logging, QR matching, and report export as a kintone custom plugin. Without a large-scale platform overhaul, we achieved on-site DX on top of a no-code platform.

IMPACT
Value for the shop floor

Records become improvement data as-is.

Progress is visible

Process and output can be grasped in real time, so delays are noticed early.

No more aggregation

Automatically aggregated by time slot, eliminating manual tallying.

Prevent errors

QR matching prevents part mix-ups before they happen.

Reports in an instant

Daily reports and aggregations can be exported to Excel/CSV in one click.
