Manufacturing software that starts at the machine, not the office
Udoox Production brings your shop floor, your planning, your quality checks and your job costs together in one system — so you can see every machine as it runs, hold your delivery dates, and know what each job actually earned.
Why factories run on Udoox Production
Whether you run a machine shop, a job shop, a press line or a process plant, these are the reasons owners move across.
You see the shift while it runs
Output, stoppages and quality are on screen as they happen, not in a report a week later.
Fewer hours lost to stoppages
Every stop carries a reason, so the pattern is visible and the top three causes are obvious.
Quality evidence ready for an audit
Checks, readings, gauges and traceability are recorded as the work happens, not written up afterwards.
Jobs that keep their margin
Real material, hours and scrap against the quote while the job is still open, so an overrun is caught on day two.
Delivery dates you can promise
Planning knows the changeover, the tool and the operator, so the date you give is a date you can meet.
Operators can use it with gloves on
Big buttons, few steps and no keyboard, so the floor uses it properly instead of working around it.
The features your shift runs on
What the floor needs during a shift, and what the plant manager needs at the end of it.
Operator terminal
Badge in, pick the job, start, pause with a reason, record good and scrap, and call for help — all on one screen that works offline.
Machine performance
Availability, speed and quality combined per machine, per shift and per product, with the six big losses split out.
Quality control
Control plans per product and operation, readings judged against tolerance, sampling for incoming goods and full traceability.
Planning and scheduling
Finite capacity scheduling that respects changeover times, tools and operator skills, with a plan you can compare before applying.
Maintenance and tooling
Preventive schedules by calendar or by meter, breakdowns raised from the floor, spare parts and tool life in strokes.
Job work and costing
Material sent out on a proper challan with a return clock, and the real cost of every job against what you quoted.
Machines connected directly
Where a machine or a meter can be read, counts, cycle times and stoppages come straight off it. Where it cannot, the operator enters them on the terminal — either way the figures land in the same place.
Enquiries and quoting
Price an enquiry from the drawing, the material and the operations, turn an accepted quote into a work order, and compare what you quoted with what the job actually cost.

AI that sees a problem before the shift does
Included with every Udoox Production system. Most of it needs no key, no internet and nothing to set up — it simply starts telling you what needs your attention.
Meter trends read against failure history, so a machine is serviced before it stops you.
Machine, product, shift, operator and tool age scored together to flag a job that is likely to go wrong.
Which factor really separates the good runs from the bad, instead of five people guessing.
Downtime patterns per machine and shift that a daily report would never show you.
A process drifting towards its limit, flagged while it is still inside it.
What happened this shift, in words, from the numbers — for the supervisor to edit and send.
More output from the same shift
Here is where plant owners notice the difference first.
You can see the shift while it runs
Output, stoppages and quality are on screen as they happen, not in a report a week later.
Downtime you can do something about
Every stop carries a reason, so the pattern is visible and the top three causes are obvious.
Quality you can hand to an auditor
Control plans, readings, gauges and traceability are recorded as work happens, not written up afterwards.
Jobs that do not quietly lose money
Real cost against the quote while the job is still open, so an overrun is caught on day two.
Dates you can promise
Scheduling that knows the changeover, the tool and the operator, so the date you give is one you can meet.
From a machine shop to a process plant
Udoox Production is set up for the way each kind of plant makes things, so a foundry and a packaging line are not forced into the same screens.
Overview of manufacturing software
What manufacturing software is, what a plant should expect from it, and how Udoox Production handles it.
See It in ActionWhat is manufacturing software?
It is the system that runs production: what to make, on which machine, in what order, how it went, whether it passed and what it cost. Accounting software tells you the result; this tells you the shift.
What does Udoox Production do?
It covers the operator terminal, machine performance, quality, planning, maintenance, tooling, traceability, job work and job costing in one place, so the floor and the office read the same numbers.
What kinds of factories is it for?
Machine shops, job shops, fabrication, press shops, foundries, plastics, auto components, electricals, pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, textiles, packaging and contract manufacturers.
How do you measure machine performance?
Running time, speed and quality are combined into one figure per machine and per shift, with the losses split out in minutes so you can see where the shift actually went.
Can operators really use it on the floor?
Yes. One screen, big buttons, few steps and no keyboard. An operator badges in, picks the job, starts it, pauses with a reason and records good and scrap counts.
Does it work if the network drops on the floor?
Yes. The terminal keeps recording and catches up when the connection returns, because a plant cannot stop for a network.
How does it help with quality audits?
Control plans, readings against tolerance, gauge calibration, rejections, corrective action and full traceability are all recorded as the work happens, so an audit reads records rather than reconstructions.
Can it tell me if a job made money?
Yes. Real material, real hours and real scrap are set against what you quoted while the job is still open, so an overrun is caught on day two rather than at invoice time.
Does it handle work sent outside?
Yes. Material goes out on a proper challan with a return clock, what comes back is checked against what went out, and the cost of the outside operation lands on the job.
Can it connect to my machines?
Where a machine or a meter can be read, counts and stoppages come straight off it. Where it cannot, the operator enters them on the terminal, and either way the figures land in the same place.
Do operators need training?
Very little. The terminal was designed to be used with gloves on and in a hurry, which is the only way it gets used properly.
Can I move our existing product and routing data across?
Yes. Products, bills of material, routings, machines, customers and opening stock are imported during setup.
What does the AI cost?
Included. Predictive maintenance, scrap prediction, root cause ranking and downtime patterns need no key and no internet. The parts that write in words are optional and use a key you provide.
From the machine to the margin
Udoox Production connects the machine, the plan, the quality check and the cost of the job, so decisions happen during the shift instead of after it.
