SYSControl — Industrial Production Planning System

SYSControl is a robust, high-performance platform for real-time management and monitoring of industrial cutting and fabrication processes at SYSteel Group. The system focuses on data integrity, instant synchronization, and a premium industrial interface.

Modules

Monitor Panel

• Real-time global production status visualization
• Automatic execution time calculation and delta vs. estimated time
• Visual urgency indicators and connection status

Production Management

• Detailed control of each production process
• Drag & Drop for priority reordering
• Subtask management with full traceability
• Urgency numbering with weekly auto-numbering (YYYY-WNN-#)

Drawing Preparation

• Interface optimized for technical preparation flows

Admin Panel

• Password-protected access control
• Data import/export tools (JSON backup)
• Visibility configuration and new job creation

Capacity Planning

The system includes a Capacity Traffic Light in the Admin Panel that calculates daily workload for each machine (Plasma, Laser, Thor, Profile):

• Intelligent calculation: Sums estimated time from main orders and all corresponding sub-orders per machine
• Work modes: Normal shift (8h / 480 min) and Double shift (16h / 960 min), configurable per machine and day
• Visual alerts:
  • OK (< 80%)
  • Almost Full (80–100%)
  • Overloaded (> 100%)
• Card drill-down: Click capacity rates to expand a list grouped by Production Order
• Quick reallocation: Move any job to a specific new working day with one click
• Fast insertion: Assign new subtasks to day capacity directly from a formatted list (HH:MM)

Technical Highlights

Real-Time Engine

WebSocket-based synchronization via Socket.io ensures all terminals see instant updates. A self-sanitizing re-indexing algorithm prevents ordering collapse in simultaneous task operations — a critical reliability feature for production floor use.

Data Integrity

• Automatic database migrations and structural validation on every startup
• Absolute date keys (YYYYMMDD) in all temporal logic to prevent month overlap bugs
• Referential integrity safeguards for archived orders

Security

• Admin panel protected by password
• PassMaster key required for database transfers
• All API endpoints protected against unauthorized access

Technology Stack

• Backend: Node.js, Express
• Real-time: Socket.io
• Database: SQLite3 (with automatic migrations)
• Frontend: Vanilla JS, HTML5, CSS3
• Excel Integration: SheetJS (XLSX)

Versioning

Currently at v0.1.14.1 (Beta phase). 14 minor versions shipped, each adding new capabilities: subtasks, capacity planning, urgency alarms, real-time monitoring, security hardening, and the interactive capacity semaphore.
