GitHub - SMEWebify/WebErpMesv2: Ressource Management and Manufacturing execution system Web for industry (sheet metal, machining, mold ...)

ΣEM - The ERP/MES Dedicated to Sheet Metal & Industrial Mechanics 🏭

🎯 Why ΣEM for your workshop?

Designed by sheet metal and mechanical professionals, for professionals, ΣEM answers the specific challenges of your trade:

🔧 Your activity

Industrial sheet metal: bending, laser/plasma cutting, punching, welding
Precision mechanics: turning, milling, grinding
Mold manufacturing: design, machining, fitting
Industrial subcontracting: multi-customer management, varied series

💡 Your day-to-day problems solved

Problem	ΣEM Solution
📋 Complex quotes with many operations	Detailed BOMs, machining routings, automatic time/cost calculation
⏱️ Real-time production tracking not possible	Live dashboard, shop-floor time tracking, progress by work order
📦 Raw material management (sheets, bars, tubes)	Stock by dimensions, material traceability, replenishment alerts
🔄 Chaotic shop planning	Visual planning per machine, priority management, machine load
📊 Unclear project profitability	Actual vs. forecast cost tracking, margin analysis per order
🚚 Limited customer/supplier traceability	Full history, attached documents, technical notes

✨ Specialized business features

🏭 Production Module (MES)

Machining routings: define operations (cutting, bending, welding, machining...)
Bills of Materials (BOM): raw materials, components, sub-assemblies
Shop planning: visualize load per machine/work center
Work orders: automatic generation from quotes
Production time tracking: real-time tracking by operation
Quality control: control sheets, non-conformities

📋 Sales Management

Detailed quotes: multiple lines, options, variants
Cost calculation: material + labor + subcontracting
Opportunity tracking: from lead to delivery
Multi-currency and multi-language support
Customer history: all orders at a glance

📦 Inventory & Procurement

Dimension-based management: Sheet 2000x1000x3mm, Tube Ø50x3...
Material traceability: heat numbers, material certificates
Stock movements: receipts, issues, transfers, inventories
Alerts: minimum thresholds, automatic replenishment
Suppliers: pricing, lead times, evaluation

💰 Accounting & Invoicing

Invoicing: deposits, progress billing, credit notes
VAT: multi-rate management, declarations
Payments: settlement tracking, reminders
Analytics: profitability by project, customer, period

💼 Industry use cases

Example 1: Fine sheet metal workshop

Context: 15 people, bending + laser cutting + welding

ΣEM usage:

Quotes with detailed routings (laser → deburring → bending → welding)
Planning across 3 press brakes and 2 lasers
Sheet stock management by format and thickness
Real-time tracking of work orders in progress

Result: +30% planning productivity, -20% dormant stock

Example 2: Precision mechanics

Context: Automotive subcontracting, medium series

ΣEM usage:

BOMs with certified raw materials
Machining routings (turning → milling → heat treatment → grinding)
Integrated quality control (inspection sheets per work order)
Full traceability from material to finished part

Result: ISO 9001 compliance, perfect traceability

Example 3: Mold manufacturer

Context: Plastic injection molds, complex projects

ΣEM usage:

Multi-phase quotes (study, roughing, finishing, trials)
Subcontracting management (heat treatments, polishing)
Real-time project profitability tracking
Centralized technical documentation

Result: Better cost control, on-time delivery

⚙️ Post-Installation Configuration

Important: Before adding lines to a quote, configure:

Default VAT: Go to Accounting → VAT and mark an item as default
Default Unit: Go to Methods → Units and mark an item as default

Without these settings, you cannot add lines to quotes.
