Many traditional industries have workflows (purchasing, processing, billing, inventory) that generic ERP products don't fit. With the stone industry as our flagship case, we build systems around how each industry actually works, and also develop RFID, MRP (material requirements planning) and PMS (production management) systems.
Instead of bending your process to a generic system's logic, the system is designed around your real on-site operations.
From raw material intake and processing records to issuing invoices — enter data once and it flows through the whole process.
Search and reporting designed around how your team actually looks things up (for example by invoice number or raw stone ID).
Register and track raw stone IDs, sources and specifications.
Manage contract sawing, processed items and process records.
Flexibly search past billing by contract-sawing invoice number or raw stone ID.
Keep real-time track of processed items and stock levels.
Beyond the core ERP workflow, we also develop the following closely related systems, deployable on their own or integrated with an ERP.
RFID tags and readers for automated counting and tracking of materials, inventory or assets, reducing manual stock-taking.
Automatically calculates material needs and purchasing timelines from the production schedule, avoiding shortages and overstock and keeping purchasing aligned with production.
Track production schedules, work-order progress and capacity, so shop-floor status is reflected in the back office in real time.
Eastern Taiwan (Hualien and Taitung) has around 193 stone companies with annual output of nearly NT$9 billion — the country's most important stone-industry cluster. But raw stone blocks often weigh over ten tonnes and are stacked outdoors, while slabs stand side by side on edge, so stock-taking and finding material have long relied on manual labor and veteran workers' experience. Most of the world's major stone-producing regions still manage stock with barcodes or QR codes only, which leaves counting and locating material inconvenient.
Since 2023 we have worked with the center, starting from an RFID digital-inventory pilot system and growing it into a stone-industry ERP covering raw stone, slabs, primary processing, secondary processing and accounts. It is live and under ongoing maintenance.
Combining UHF RFID and barcodes, we built a web management system and a handheld RFID reader app supporting intake, counting and locating of raw stone and slabs. The tags read at over 4 meters even with raw stone stacked outdoors and slabs standing on edge, and can be recovered and reused to lower deployment costs. Together with the center we also defined industry-wide barcode formats: 17 characters for raw stone and 20 for slabs.
Combining 2D/3D site maps with ERP storage-location data, the system offers dual positioning — "ERP location + handheld sensing". Stock counts update the latest locations at the same time, RFID automatically detects slabs entering and leaving the warehouse, and on-site staff can look up locations on mobile devices.
As part of a Ministry of Economic Affairs smart-upgrade program for small and medium manufacturers, we built inventory visualization and mobile storage-location lookup for a primary stone processing plant in eastern Taiwan, plus AI parameters for multi-wire saw cutting: recording process parameters such as stone type, hardness and cutting speed, and using machine-learning models to suggest optimal wire and cutting speeds — keeping veteran workers' experience in the system.
The stone industry is our most concrete track record so far, but our approach to custom ERP applies to any traditional industry with special workflows that off-the-shelf systems don't fit. We're happy to discuss your industry.
It depends on the scope of modules and the complexity of your current processes. We recommend an on-site interview to understand your actual workflow before estimating a timeline.
They can be deployed on their own. RFID, MRP material requirements planning and PMS production management can each be built as standalone systems, or integrated with an existing or new ERP as needed.
