Project Overview

TitanFactory is a comprehensive industrial management system designed to optimize factory operations through AI and automation. The platform enhances efficiency, decision-making, and automation across departments, covering:

• Factory operations
• Employee management
• Machine maintenance
• Attendance tracking
• Sales reporting
• Payroll automation

Key Technologies

• Backend: Node.js (Express.js)
• Frontend: React (Vite)
• Database: MySQL
• AI Integration: Python-based predictive models & chatbot

Core Features

🔹 User Management & Authentication

• Secure, role-based access control

🔹 Machine Management

• Monitor machine status, maintenance schedules, and log activity

🔹 Attendance Tracking

• Automated employee check-ins/outs & attendance status updates

🔹 Sales Reporting

• AI-driven sales reports, trend forecasting, and performance tracking

🔹 AI Chatbot

• Assists users in system navigation and task execution

🔹 Notifications System

• Real-time alerts for task assignments, maintenance, and approvals

🔹 Payroll Management

• Automates payroll calculations based on work hours, overtime, bonuses, and deductions

🔹 Role Management

• Define user access levels for different roles (admin, factory manager, IT team, sales staff, etc.)

System Roles

Primary Users (Direct System Users)

• Admin: Manages configurations, user roles, and high-level reports
• Factory Manager: Oversees operations, approves maintenance, and generates reports
