The development of mobile application for manufacturing operation - JF engineering mobile information system / Mohd Azmi Hussin

Nowadays, the manufacturing industry is facing several challenges to retain its competitiveness, particularly in producing high-quality products at a lower cost of operation. The engineering division as a part of the most important team in manufacturing is responsible for ensuring the production operation not be interrupted by any technical issues which can affect the company's profit margin or may result in losses. Thus, the idea to develop a mobile application that enhances efficiency and productivity to be used by the engineering team, brought to the development of Sony EMCS JF Engineering Mobile Information System. This mobile application was aimed to help reducing the response time and improve the approach of information sharing for the manufacturing operation. The application was developed in an Android platform with Android Studio, and based on a client-server architecture. The application was integrated with JF Engineering portal and using Parse.com as its back-end for cloud database. It has many functionalities which related to JF Engineering's core activities such as Offline Defect Control, Start-Up Check Data, Touch-Up Data and Pallet Management. This mobile application also offers a menu which enables users to send and view reports, email, phone calling, chat messaging, view profiles, and many others
