India’s manufacturing sector is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, with Industry 4.0 and digitalization playing key roles. From metal fabrication to auto parts and electronics, factories across India are realizing that manual processes can no longer keep up with global demands.
This is where ERP and IoT solutions for manufacturing come in—offering end-to-end control over inventory, machines, workforce, quality, and analytics.
At Tech4LYF, we build tailored solutions that bring these technologies together—right from the shop floor to the cloud.
Traditional systems like Excel and siloed software platforms lead to:
Manual errors
Delayed production updates
High inventory wastage
No real-time machine visibility
Poor preventive maintenance
Modern ERP and IoT systems solve all of this by automating workflows and offering actionable insights.
A centralized platform that manages:
Inventory
Production Planning
Procurement
Finance
HR
Quality
Sales & Distribution
Smart devices connected to sensors and controllers that provide:
Machine utilization data
Temperature, vibration, and load monitoring
Predictive maintenance alerts
Real-time dashboard updates
Condition-based control logic
When these two are integrated, manufacturing becomes smarter, faster, and more cost-efficient.
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Real-Time Visibility | Track machine usage, downtimes, operator shifts |
| Improved OEE | Measure and improve overall equipment effectiveness |
| Inventory Accuracy | Auto-deduct stock based on machine operations |
| Downtime Reduction | Get alerts before machines fail |
| Quality Control | Auto-log defect rates and batch performance |
| Cost Reduction | Lower power usage, raw material wastage, and rework |
| Compliance | Traceability for audits and ISO certification |
These solutions bring Indian manufacturing closer to global standards.
Tech4LYF’s ERP modules are customized for India’s MSMEs and large units:
| Module | Features |
|---|---|
| Production | Job cards, work orders, routing, stage tracking |
| Inventory | GRN, consumption logs, reorder alerts |
| Procurement | Quotation comparison, supplier scorecard |
| Finance | GST invoicing, expense tracking, payment status |
| HR | Shift planning, biometric/QR attendance |
| Quality | Batch sampling, test reports, reject tracking |
| Maintenance | AMC, complaint ticketing, spare part logs |
ERP becomes your factory’s central nervous system.
ESP32 boards track run time, speed, and stops
→ Data synced to ERP for real-time OEE reporting
Sensors on CNCs or injection molding machines
→ Alerts for overheating, load imbalance
IR sensors on output conveyor
→ Count pieces, sync with ERP work order
Vibration sensor thresholds trigger alerts
→ Service task created automatically in ERP
Tech4LYF builds custom hardware dashboards for all major protocols (Modbus, MQTT, SIM800L, Wi-Fi).
| Layer | Tools & Tech |
|---|---|
| Sensors | ESP32, Arduino, SIM800, IR, Temp, Vib sensors |
| Protocol | MQTT, Modbus RTU, HTTP/WebSockets |
| Data Layer | Firebase, PostgreSQL, MongoDB |
| ERP Layer | Custom modules or Odoo integration |
| UI/UX | Flutter web dashboards, real-time graphs |
| Hosting | Railway, Render, DigitalOcean |
| Security | JWT, hashed auth, encrypted backups |
Our architecture allows scalable, cost-effective rollout—from one machine to 100+.
