Lightweight MES for cosmetics
Connect formula, batch, equipment and people from weighing to packaging and outbound. Start with the steps where errors actually happen, not with a giant system.
Architecture
Browser/Server architecture on Ubuntu 22.04 with PostgreSQL. The shop floor connects weighing, mixing, packaging, palletizing and outbound stations over Ethernet; multi-level permissions with unlimited users.

Modules
| Module | Functions | Problem solved |
|---|---|---|
| Master data | Materials, formulas, process parameters, suppliers, customers, units | One formula version instead of verbal recipes |
| Orders & batches | Production orders, batch numbers, quantities, due dates, priority | Order-to-batch linkage and progress visibility |
| Weighing station | Batch start, barcode check of material and weight, label printing | Prevents wrong material and over/under weighing |
| Mixing station | Feed check, recipe execution, temperature/time/speed records | Reproducible batches instead of operator memory |
| Packaging traceability | Laser coding error-proofing, product code capture, carton labels | Trace finished code back to batch, material and equipment |
| Palletizing & outbound | Carton label capture, pallet labels, container/pallet check | Blocks wrong or short shipments |
| Reports & permissions | Batch traceability, output/loss reports, users and multi-level roles | Data for audits, complaints and recalls |
Start small
Begin with weighing, mixing and traceability, then expand.
Connect equipment
Integrate emulsifiers, fillers, coders and PLC data.
Expandable
Add OEE, energy, warehouse and complaint modules later.
