Digitise shopfloor operations with Odoo. PySquad builds real-time shopfloor tracking, work order management, and production monitoring systems for factories.
Results depend on scope, integrations and adoption.
The operating context
A clearer view of the whole operation.
Shopfloors drive production, but manual logs and disconnected systems limit visibility and control. Without real-time data, it becomes difficult to track progress, manage operators, and respond to issues quickly.
Where friction builds
Why shopfloor operations lack visibility
Production data is often recorded manually, leading to inaccuracies and delays. Supervisors lack real-time visibility into work order progress and machine status. Operator performance and labour hours are hard to track, while scrap and rework reporting is inconsistent. Without integration between machines and ERP, communication gaps slow down decision-making.
Current approach
Record production updates on paper or spreadsheets
Track work orders without live production status
Capture labour hours manually
Review downtime and scrap after production
Operational impact
Production status becomes outdated quickly
Supervisors identify delays too late
Downtime causes remain difficult to analyze
Operator and machine performance lacks reliable data

Our approach
We implement a digital Odoo-based shopfloor system that connects operators, machines, and management. Our approach ensures real-time updates, accurate tracking, and better coordination across production.
How it connects
The complete workflow, in one view.
Make an informed decision
Is this the right fit?
The right solution starts with the right operating requirements.
Odoo Shop Floor is used to manage manufacturing and work orders directly from the production floor. Operators can view assigned work, start or complete work orders, record production time, and update progress from workstation-friendly screens connected to Odoo Manufacturing.
Can Odoo track work orders and operator time in real time?
Yes. Operators can sign in to Shop Floor, start work orders, and track the time spent on each operation. Supervisors can use this data to compare planned and actual production time and identify delays across work centers.
Can Odoo Shop Floor track machine downtime and OEE?
Odoo can support downtime and OEE-related tracking through manufacturing data, work-center performance, and configured machine or IoT integrations. The exact level of automation depends on how machine status, downtime reasons, production counts, and quality data are captured.
Can Odoo connect with machines, PLCs, or IoT devices?
Yes, Odoo can be integrated with machines, PLCs, IoT gateways, or middleware when the equipment exposes compatible interfaces or protocols. This can be used to capture machine status, production counts, downtime, or other shop-floor signals, but the integration scope depends on the available hardware and data access.
What is the difference between Odoo Shop Floor and MES software?
Odoo Shop Floor focuses on executing manufacturing orders, work orders, operator activities, and production updates within Odoo Manufacturing. A full MES usually goes deeper into machine connectivity, detailed OEE, downtime analysis, traceability, quality execution, and real-time production control. Odoo can be extended toward MES-style workflows when those capabilities are required.
