Inside the ERP
The dashboard is the start of the sentence.
A monitoring tool tells you a room moved. FactoraERP IoT keeps the reading with the batch, the maintenance job and the cost. The ERP setting is FactoraERP, another ERP through an integration pack, or none. A plant does not have to replace its system to use the sensors.
Same sign-in, not a connector project
IoT Sensors is Module 11, and it runs at iot.factoraerp.com with your factory’s own sign-in. The ERP setting is FactoraERP, another ERP through an integration pack, or none. A plant does not have to replace its system to use the sensors. You do not have to buy a historian and then pay someone to pour it into a second database.
FactoraERP, on its own site, covers production, inventory, procurement, quality, warehouse, supply chain, people, finance and analytics. Those modules are products of the same company. The IoT app is where the floor, the batch, maintenance and energy already meet. A parent-ERP screen is not, by itself, a probe.
Inventory
Materials, packaging, finished goods
Procurement
Suppliers, requests, spend
Quality
Lab tests and checkpoints
Warehouse
Locations and movements
Supply chain
Farm gate to dispatch
HR and payroll
People, attendance, labour
Finance
Costing, invoices, payments
Analytics
The KPIs management already asks for
Against a monitoring tool
Category, not a named competitor. The shilling column is still an example fee.
| Question | A monitoring tool | FactoraERP IoT |
|---|---|---|
| Where does the reading live? | In the monitoring vendor’s database | In FactoraERP IoT, Module 11, with the factory’s own sign-in |
| Who acknowledged the alert? | Often a timestamp, sometimes nobody | A name, stored on the alert. This part is in the product. |
| Does the alarm open a work order? | Usually a later integration project | An alarm opens a maintenance work order. |
| Is the excursion on the batch? | Export it and retype it | Temperature records stay on the batch, with a PDF compliance report. |
| Does finance see a cost? | A spreadsheet beside the tool | Cost and finance are linked to the batch. |
| Is there a shilling price? | Often a call with no number | Example fees on this site, marked as drafts |
| Who do you call? | Whoever sold the dashboard | Tamalaki Business Network Ltd, Kenya |
- 01
Sensor
A monitored point reports onto the floor: temperature, door, energy, vibration, machine state, and the rest of the catalog.
- 02
Alarm
Alerts go out on WhatsApp, SMS and email, and they escalate if the person on shift does not take them.
- 03
Work order
An alarm opens a maintenance work order on its own, assigned to the shift, instead of waiting for someone to retype it.
- 04
Acknowledgement
The person on shift taps the card. The alert stores their name, not a role code. They can Resolve it, or ask the copilot about it.
- 05
Batch record
Temperature records stay on the batch that was in the room, and the plant can produce a PDF compliance report from them.
- 06
Cost
Spoilage, energy and downtime land on the batch in finance, in the same record as the lot.
Ask copilot is in the app. Answers use this plant's production, downtime, energy, maintenance, and alerts. Advice only. The prompts include Why is OEE down?, Generate daily brief, Generate shift handover.

If you already run FactoraERP, the walk-through starts from your batches. If you do not, say so. A sensor-only buy is a different conversation, and we will tell you if this is the wrong tool.
