DockFlow Platform - Project Overview
Vision
A locally hosted, fullstack web platform managing every aspect of the production process - planning,
monitoring, specs, quality, and maintenance - tailored for factories handling repeated product types
in different sizes.
Platform Name & Architecture
Apps:
- DockFlow: Production Planning & Order Distribution
- AnchorOps: Machine Runtime Monitoring
- SpecHarbor: Product Measurements & Tolerances
- BridgeDeck (Shared Layer): Chat, Alerts, Quality & Maintenance Collaboration
All apps work together in real-time with a shared database.
Key Features
- DockFlow: Orders, section planning, reject tracking
- AnchorOps: Runtime tracking, downtime logging, maintenance tools
- SpecHarbor: Product sizes, tolerances, drawings, per-process access
- BridgeDeck: Auto-triggered chat (QC & Maintenance), notifications, shared communication
User Roles & Access Control
- Certified Worker: Start jobs on certified machines
- Shift Worker: Start/end jobs, shift reports
- Supervisor: Assign workers, move orders, manage machines
- Production Chef: Full access
- Planner/Engineer: Designs, specs, drawings
System Intelligence
- Detect size vs. runtime mismatch
- Trigger QC or Maintenance chat
- Logs all decisions and approvals
Tech Stack Proposal
- Frontend: React (Vite), TailwindCSS
- Backend: FastAPI, PostgreSQL
- Realtime: WebSockets
- Auth: JWT/session + role middleware
- Deployment: Docker or local server
Next Steps
1. Finalize UI wireframes
2. Define database schema
3. Set up backend structure
4. Build APIs
5. Build frontend components by role
