- Production Tasks
How the workflow connects
This journey connects the following stages. Complete the required checks at each stage before moving forward.
- 01Required
Select mapped Station
In Operator, select the Product first, choose Mapped, and use the Status filter if the Station is hidden by the default Running view.
Provides the controlled input for the next stage. - 02Required
Choose Work Order and Line
Open the Station, select an active Work Order, and choose an eligible Production Line.
Provides the controlled input for the next stage. - 03Required
Open Production Task
Scan or enter the Production Task ID or confirmed finished-unit serial, then select Start Task.
Provides the controlled input for the next stage. - 04Required
Validate Component identities
Enter an available serial for every serialised BOM Component and satisfy each configured identifier validator.
Provides the controlled input for the next stage. - 05Required
Complete and record
Confirm the result and select Complete & Next so Forge MES records execution and Route progress.
Step-by-step in Forge MES
- In Operator, select the Product first, choose Mapped, and use the Status filter if the Station is hidden by the default Running view.
- Open the Station, select an active Work Order, and choose an eligible Production Line.
- Scan or enter the Production Task ID or confirmed finished-unit serial, then select Start Task.
- Enter an available serial for every serialised BOM Component and satisfy each configured identifier validator.
- Confirm the result and select Complete & Next so Forge MES records execution and Route progress.
Rules to remember
- Mapped Stations are product-aware; select the Product before using the Mapped filter.
- Only active Work Orders and eligible Production Lines are offered for the selected Station.
- Required Component identities must be available and valid; for example, a configured Battery Pack validator may require GS1 AI 01 and AI 10.
- Complete & Next records the operator, Station, material identities, result, timestamps, and Route progress.
Configure for the client
- Match operator roles, scan enforcement, material-consumption rules, equipment integration, work instructions, and exception permissions to the client's shop-floor controls.
- Validate the configured behaviour with approved test data in the target environment before production use.
Ready when
- The Product, Station, Work Order, Line, Task, and Routing step match.
- Every required Component identity validates successfully.
- The completion is visible in Task History and Route history.
