Ideas for other machine types: we have automated cable cutter/stripper and manual (but stationary non hand tooled) crimping in our manufacturing.
What came into my mind when I saw about the machines integration is the resource planning/allocation. It would be great if "machine time" could be added as a BoM item or assigned separately as "resources" to parts. Resources could include not just machine time, but also labour even labour assigned to users/users groups.
This way the (in the far distant future) we could implement a somewhat automated production planning. But that is a slightly different topic which might needed to be discussed in a separate discussion.
I currently integrate my 2 PnP machines, conveyors and stencil printer with inventree using MQTT. Basically a program runs on the PnPs and sends info to inventree. The PnPs consume parts. Currently the way they create build orders / build units is a bit messy but I suspect I should transition over to this interface. I'd like to easily view status for the line and some stats would be handy too.
@loki42 sounds like a great candidate for a "machine" interface. Perhaps you could work with @wolflu05 to provide a demonstrator for this
@loki42 would you be open to do a short call/chat to understand your requirements better?
Yeah, happy to do that. Basically keen to have an easy way to see status of all the machines and utilisation.
I currently have events triggered from the machines that run code that does stuff to inventree.
A mis pick on the pnp machines consumes stock from that feeder, a board being finished runs a build order. It would also be nice to see stencil printer status so it can consume wiping paper, pcb panels on mis print and maybe paste.
Seeing status of machines would also be good (waiting for upstream / downstream, reel empty error, oven not at temperatures etc). Would be nice to know units per hour and other stats too. My air compressor is network connected too so there's some out of line stuff as well.

I've added my current integration of the PNP with Inventree here: https://github.com/polyeffects/poly_erp it's also got my code for Inventree sales orders to Xero invoices and a few other things. The next plan is to add shipping stuff using Karrio.
This issue seems stale. Please react to show this is still important.
