Introduction
A mid-sized HVAC equipment manufacturer was struggling to streamline its production line, manage inventory efficiently, and get real-time visibility into operations. Manual data entry, disconnected systems, and limited traceability were slowing down growth and increasing operational overhead.
That’s where Silent Infotech stepped in
By integrating robotics and automation with Odoo ERP, the company achieved:Real-time
production monitoring, 99.5% inventory accuracy and 40% faster order processing, etc.
Client Overview
The client specializes in manufacturing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units
with a growing footprint across the U.S. They were seeking a modern solution to reduce
operational inefficiencies and digitize their shop floor.
Challenges Faced By HVAC Equipment Manufacturer
Disconnected Systems
Robotics and shop floor machines operated in isolation from the ERP, causing delays in
syncing production data.
This made it difficult for supervisors to make informed decisions in real time.
Lack of Real-Time Insights
Live updates on work orders, machine performance, and stock movements were not available
to operations managers. As a result, production planning was reactive instead of proactive.
Frequent Order Fulfillment Errors
Incorrect BOM selections, delayed shipments, and incorrect component allocation resulted in
costly reworks. Inconsistent order accuracy was leading to customer dissatisfaction.
Limited Traceability & Compliance Gaps
It was challenging to keep track of component usage and assembly dates using manual
logs.This posed serious compliance risks and inefficiencies during quality audits.

How Silent Infotech Helped HVAC Equipment Manufacturer with ERP and
Robotics integration?
Robotics–Odoo Sync
Silent Infotech created middleware to bridge machines with Odoo, enabling seamless two-way
data flow. This empowered real-time control over robotic actions and ERP-triggered automation.
Live Production Monitoring Dashboards
To track the work-in-progress (WIP) stages in real time, custom dashboards were created in
Odoo. Supervisors could now instantly view performance metrics, order progress, and machine
status.
Inventory Automation with RFID
Production lines and warehouse stations were equipped with RFID/barcode-based tracking.
Without requiring human intervention, it automatically updated ERP records and increased stock
accuracy.
Workflow Optimization via ERP Modules
Important modules were set up for complete process visibility, including Manufacturing,
Inventory, IoT Box, and Quality. Consistency and compliance were improved while the amount
of manual labor was decreased.
