Automatic Sign of Commencement of Work from Enterprise Resource Planning

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a package of systems and software used by enterprises to manage their daily business activities, such as financial management, procurement, production, projects, human resources, and others. This system can facilitate business with real-time and accurate information so that the leaders can make business decisions well. The use of ERP in a manufacturing company usually stops only in the administrative department and does not reach the production machinery. In this paper, the researchers propose a way of interconnecting the ERP system with parts of the production machine to get more energy savings and speed up the time commencement of work. By using signal lamps that are connected to the ERP system and communicating through Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT), the staff in the production machine area can immediately find out the status of the readiness of materials and production equipment in the inventory section.
