Manufacturing scan capture

Scan work orders, lots, and components on the production floor. Route values to MES, ERP quality modules, or webhooks for traceability and QC logging. Each scan POST feeds middleware that builds lot genealogy and audit exports - Scan2Flow does not host WIP dashboards.

Shop floor digital data capture

Manufacturing scan flow

Capture at line side without deploying a custom shop floor app. Operators scan at each station; your MES or ERP middleware records the chain.

  1. 1

    Scan work order or lot

    Operator scans batch or WO barcode at station - camera, wedge, or manual entry.

  2. 2

    Record step or QC

    Webhook logs pass/fail, component scan, operator ID, and timestamp in your receiver.

  3. 3

    Sync ERP or MES

    Middleware updates production, quality, or traceability records - buyer audit trail stays in your systems.

Integration pattern

Often paired with QC and asset workflows:

  1. Use separate workflows per line or inspection type.
  2. Return HTML pass/fail UI from API display actions.
  3. Hold shipments on QC fail via ERP or Shopify tags.
  4. Link to quality control Shopify page for pack-out QC.

FAQ

Does Scan2Flow run offline on the line?

Scan2Flow is browser-first. Offline persistence depends on your receiver or PWA strategy; verify for your site.

Does Scan2Flow provide WIP dashboards or line balancing?

No. Scan2Flow sends scan events. Your MES, ERP, or middleware builds WIP visibility and alerts from those events.

Can scan chains support buyer audit or traceability?

Yes, when your receiver logs each scan with station, operator, and lot context. Scan2Flow is the capture front end; audit exports live in systems you control.
