— Production

Plugnotes, specialist in digitizing production.

Dozens of industrial companies trust Plugnotes to digitize their production lines — quality control, traceability, non-conformities, batch tracking — connected to their ERP in real-time.

— Challenges

What slows down your operations
production today.

‹›
01
Unreliable paper entries

Paper control sheets, manual entries, logbooks — production data arrives late, incomplete, or illegible in your ERP. Non-conformities are only detected after the fact.

02
Disconnection between shop floor and ERP

Your ERP manages your production orders and stock. But what actually happens on the line — stoppages, scrap, end of batch — doesn't automatically get there. Manual re-entry, delays, errors.

03
Customization impossible in ERP

Odoo Studio or BC developments sometimes cover part of the need, but remain rigid and risk breaking during updates. Your specific processes deserve more flexibility.

— Plugnotes & Middleware

Why Plugnotes instead of a homegrown or manual integration ecosystem?

Many companies cobble together import/export scripts or continue using Excel. Plugnotes + middleware offers the robustness of a maintained solution, field features that no script can match, and a turnkey SFTP infrastructure.

01
QC forms configurable per workstation, without IT
No SFTP server to install, configure, or maintain. Plugnotes hosts the server, generates the files, and uploads them automatically. Your ERP connects and imports. Zero IT intervention.

No IT
02
Complete traceability: batch, lot, operator, timestamp
Each control is timestamped, associated with the operator, lot, and Odoo or BC product reference. Complete traceability of production operations, usable in your ERP without re-entry.

03
Non-conformities detected and alerted in real-time
As soon as an operator enters an out-of-tolerance value, Plugnotes triggers an alert — email, notification, ticket in your ERP. Non-compliance is addressed immediately, not at the end of the day.

04
Offline mode — no line interruptions
Your operators enter data without WiFi — in the back of a warehouse, cleanroom, ATEX zone. Data synchronizes with your ERP as soon as reconnected. No workflow interruption.

Auto Sync
05
Production data synchronized in your ERP
Batch ends, counts, machine stops, shift ends — synchronized in your Odoo or BC production module after validation. Zero re-entry, reliable data.

Annotated photos attached to production records
A product defect, a line anomaly — the operator photographs and annotates directly from the tablet. The photo is attached to the record in your ERP. No lost photos.

— Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about Middlewares

What is the difference between a direct API connection and middleware?

A direct API connection links Plugnotes to your ERP without an intermediary — fast and real-time. Middleware adds an intermediate layer (Zapier, Plugnotes SFTP, SFTP) that can transform, filter, or route data. Middleware is preferable when your ERP does not have an accessible API or when your IT policy imposes network restrictions.

Can Plugnotes send files to an SFTP server (FileZilla)?

Yes. Plugnotes can export your validated data to an SFTP server in CSV, XML, or JSON format. Your ERP then imports them according to its own schedule. This is the recommended solution for ERPs without APIs or restrictive IT environments.

Are Zapier and Power Automate supported?

Yes. Plugnotes has native connectors for Zapier and Power Automate. You can trigger actions in over 5,000 applications as soon as a form is validated in Plugnotes, without any development.

Do you need a developer to set up an integration via middleware?

For Zapier and Power Automate, no — setup is visual. For Plugnotes SFTP, setup is guided, or you can contact our certified integration partners.
