A manufacturing application is an industrial software application that assists in the planning, tracking, and analysis of a manufacturing process. The app may be web-based or desktop-based, and it typically includes features for viewing scheduled work orders, tracking progress through the process steps, monitoring machine performance and production rates, creating alerts for abnormal events, approving materials and products before they are dispatched to another station in the process flow (such as shipping), and completing timecards.
Manufacturing apps are similar to other business management apps, such as inventory management apps, time tracking apps, and project management apps. Popular manufacturing applications include ShopBot, which allows you to build custom furniture from your desktop or mobile device; Inventory Lab, which helps manufacturers manage their inventory; and QuickBooks Manufacturing Cloud.

Manufacturing apps are used by people who work in a manufacturing environment. They can be specific to one brand or product, or they can be generic apps that allow users to share information about any kind of manufacturing process. The app needs to provide clear value to workers by making their job easier and more efficient.
A manufacturing app faces regulatory and reputational risks associated with the transfer of sensitive or proprietary user data to platforms outside of a company’s control. It is important that such apps store sensitive personal data (such as intellectual property) in a secure storage environment and use encryption to protect this information from unauthorized access. It is also recommended that apps implement strong identity verification mechanisms, including hardware-based authentication, when transferring data to third-party platforms.
