Ops-Core Automation Engine
Target Audience: VP of Engineering, Principal Architect, Director of Digital Transformation
Core Value: Zero-Lag Business Logic & Data Synchronization
The Problem: Data Silos & Transactional Lag
The core operations suffered from delays where data was manually moved between systems (e.g., Engineer PDF cutlists to Production database). This reliance on administrative staff created significant transactional lag, inventory drift, and high operational overhead.
The Solution: Zero-Lag, Event-Driven Backend
I architected the Ops-Core Automation Engine as the zero-lag, event-driven backend, built on Firebase Cloud Functions. This engine acts as a collection of invisible, event-driven workers that automatically synchronize the entire value chain—from Engineering to Inventory—with zero lag. This eliminated the need for 3-4 full-time administrative staff to manage transactional data manually.
The Commercial ROI
Operational Cost Savings: Eliminated the salary cost of 3-4 full-time administrative clerks by automating transactional data entry and synchronization.
Zero-Lag Purchasing: Reduced the administrative gap between "Sale" and "Material Order" from days to 0.5 seconds.
Engineering Synchronization: Instantly linked program data (DXF file names) with part records, ensuring the shop floor receives accurate, live data without manual cross-referencing.
Technical Architecture
PDF-to-Data Bridge: Utilized Storage Triggers and libraries like
pdf-parseandRegexto listen for PDF uploads, instantly converting "dead" file data into "live" database relationships.Physics-Based Inventory: Encoded manufacturing physics (e.g., dynamic hinge counts based on door height) directly into the consumption logic, using FieldValue.increment for granular and accurate stock depletion.
Auto-Procurement Engine: Implemented event-driven triggers that listen for a quote status change (e.g., to "Accepted") and instantly scan the Bill of Materials to auto-generate a Draft Purchase Order if a material deficit exists.
