Custom or Standalone Application

Hello Everyone,

We have developed a small hardware device that can be easily get connected to any Industrial machine like CNC, Injection Molding, Metal Stamping etc.

The machine automatically measures and logs machine output, rejection & state.

This is extremely useful in real-time monitoring of Shop Floor and calculate OEE.

Now I am on a crossroad…

Option 1: Build a Standalone MES Application using Frappe Framework

Option 2: Build a Marketplace Application for ERPNext so that users can directly see data in their ERP Instance…

If you are a Manufacturing Company, what would be your preferred option?

Thank You In Advance

Cheers!!!

Standalone has advantages - 1. Offline capabilities even when using frappe cloud.
2. Easier faster mqtt locally.
3. Possibility to control level of granularity in data stored for long term in erpnext instance.
