Industry 4.0 is at the centre of all professional debates. Today’s industry leaders recognize the major contribution digitization has made to factory traceability and productivity. MES, CMMS, Visual Management...
Companies now have many tools at their disposal to transform the way they manage their operations. However, industrial SMEs (or SMIs) are somewhat left behind by Industry 4.0: the software solutions available are often too cumbersome for a medium-sized company to implement without incurring a certain level of risk in the process.
So how can an SME successfully begin its transformation towards Industry 4.0? Let’s find out.
Maintenance, Quality: Odoo, Your Driver to Operational Excellence
In Odoo V13, released in October 2019, reliable manufacturing processes are at the heart of the software’s innovations. Among the major advantages Odoo offers SMEs, you can now enter a BOM (bill of materials) directly in Odoo and manage your production by editing the OFs (production orders).

Improve Quality Control With Odoo
How do you set up quality control processes that are both scalable and efficient? Just like it does with maintenance, Odoo also helps you improve the visibility of your quality control operations. During manufacturing, or at the final inspection stage, you can plan the necessary checks to be carried out, and communicate, in real time, any observations or sticking points that need to be brought to the attention of your production teams.
PLM, Traceability: Improve Communication in Your Workshops for Better Responsiveness
A good flow of information across a factory's shop floors is a real driver of industrial performance. You know this, and so does Odoo, which is why its modules fit perfectly with this approach.
This is especially true with the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module. A true control tower for your production, Odoo's PLM brings together all the documents needed to monitor your production in an ergonomic interface. When several teams are involved in tracking a product, data is published directly in the interface. This way, everyone can view and update the documents, with real-time tracking each time a new version of a document is available.
For maintenance, operators and technicians can send checks directly to the maintenance teams through requests made on the load station tablet. When the maintenance team responds to the request, the relevant departments are immediately informed. Odoo’s Kanban view dashboard also offers additional value when it comes to monitoring these operations.
