The challenges
What it really hinges on here.
- 01
Many similar articles – and exactly one is on the bench right now
- 02
Test steps are mandatory and must be assigned to qualified people
- 03
Dispatch with labels and tracking closes the order
Many variants, clear testing
The right variant, tested and shipped.
In electrical engineering, many articles differ only in details: a different voltage, a different housing, a different board assembly. Exactly one of them is on the bench, and that one has to be built, tested and shipped. In POM the production order names its article; search with Ctrl+K finds it, and a document number opens directly. At the POM Shop Floor Data terminal, the employee scans the order and books against exactly this variant.
Test steps are mandatory in electrical engineering, final testing before dispatch for example. POM Quality defines per article and process step what to check with which limits. You import test device files in CSV format instead of retyping. If a gauge’s calibration is overdue, this is noted permanently.
Whoever tests needs the right qualification. The skills matrix in the core keeps levels from 1 to 5 per employee; when scheduling, POM checks the qualification as a notice or a block, and the terminal warns before the start if it is missing.
Dispatch closes the order. POM Shipping creates the shipment for the delivery note, fetches the label from the service and keeps the tracking number on the record. A quality block or a blocked batch stops dispatch. If a device comes back, the return is recorded.
The modules that fit
Where companies here start.
- Module
POM Shop Floor Data
Capture shop floor data where the work happens: scan, start, stop – and the order knows its actual times, quantities and disruptions.

From component to shipment
How a variant runs through POM.
- 01
Goods receipt and inspection
Purchased components are recorded with their batch. Goods subject to inspection go to blocked stock and are released under the four-eyes principle.
- 02
Planning by qualification
On the planning board you distribute orders across employees. Staff suggestions take qualification and workload into account.
- 03
Production at the terminal
The employee scans order and personnel number, starts, and reports the quantity on stop. Before the start the terminal checks blocks, qualification and batch requirement.
- 04
Final test on record
The inspection plan asks for the final test characteristics, and the server decides against the limits. The record cannot be changed.
- 05
Dispatch and returns
The shipment is created for the delivery note, with label and tracking number on the record. Several deliveries can go out as one consolidated shipment; returns are recorded.
What POM brings to your industry
The order carries its variant, its tests and its people – from the first operation to the tracking number.
Quick answers
Questions from practice.
How do I stop bookings on the wrong variant?
By scanning the order. At the POM Shop Floor Data terminal, a scanner reads the production order number, and the booking lands on exactly this order. Before the start the terminal checks whether anything speaks against it and says so in plain language.
How do I prove who carried out a test?
Every inspection record in POM Quality cannot be changed; a correction is a replacement with a reason. Whether the person is qualified for the step is recorded in the skills matrix in the core.
Can series and special orders be planned in one system?
Yes. Both are orders with article, quantity and date and sit on the same planning board. Move a rush order forwards and you see the schedule risk of the others as a traffic light; POM never changes the customer’s date by itself.
Can an order be shipped while an inspection is still open?
Not with an open quality block. It stops completion and dispatch. Blocked goods leave only with a special release, which needs its own permission and a reason and is logged.
How is a test area with several stations licensed?
What counts are concurrently signed-in users – in the core and per module – not devices and not user accounts. A test station at which several employees work one after another counts as one user while it is signed in. Modules are activated without reinstalling.
