Industrial manufacturing ERP for Business Central
Your industrial factory runs on orders, times, downtime, workloads and machines that cannot work in isolation. With dvproduction, Business Central becomes a complete industrial ERP: a connected shop floor, real times, incidents, visual planning and the real cost of manufacturing.
Built for operations directors, plant managers and CEOs of industrial companies who need to anticipate bottlenecks, not discover them once they have already cost a delivery.

dvproduction is built for industrial companies that need to connect the office and the shop floor inside Business Central: production orders, routings, work centres, operators, machines, consumption, quality, warehouse, subcontracting and actual costs.
Parts, sub-assemblies, cutting, bending, welding, machining, assembly, painting and outsourced treatment operations.
Manufacturing of assemblies, machines, structures, components and industrial products with routings, operations and costs per order.
Industrial processes with machines, shifts, consumption, scrap, quality, traceability and shop floor control.
Internal and external operations connected: what leaves, when it comes back, what it costs and how it affects the schedule.
Demand-driven planning, sales orders, forecasts, safety stock and real shop floor capacity.
If your factory runs on production orders, routings, machines, work centres, operators, materials and dates committed to customers, this page is for you.
Where control gets difficult in an industrial factory — and what changes with dvproduction.
An order changes, a machine saturates, an operation slips — and the impact reaches the office, purchasing or sales too late.
With dvproduction: The Gantt and the workload matrix show the effect of the change on real capacity before you commit to a date.
If times, consumption, incidents and stoppages are logged at the end of the shift or the next day, the ERP is always one step behind.
With dvproduction: Operators and machines report as it happens from the shop floor screen, so the data lands in Business Central while the work is still running.
Margin cannot be explained by the bill of materials alone. You have to compare materials, times, machine, labour, subcontracting, rejects and rework.
With dvproduction: Every order accumulates its actual cost by concept and is compared against standard and planned — with no manual reconciliation.
Cutting, painting, treatment, external machining, assembly or ancillary processes can break dates, traceability and costs when they sit outside the production flow.
With dvproduction: The external operation is scheduled like any other: shipment to the supplier, return, cost and impact on the order date.
An order is not built in production alone: it needs available materials, correct bins, logged consumption and coordinated movements.
With dvproduction: Consumption draws down stock as it is logged, and dvlogistic adds radio-frequency scanning and bin management on top.
A measurement out of tolerance, a non-conformity or a scrap event can hit actual cost, delivery and traceability.
With dvproduction: Measurements, non-conformities and rejects are logged against the order and the operation, and flow through to their cost and traceability.
You control what gets made, when it gets made, who makes it, with which materials, on which machine and what it really costs.
Buy them separately or as a pack. The same extension runs on Cloud and On-Premise.
MES embedded in Business Central
Four views in one screen
Seven industrial protocols
From scheduling the order to analysing actual cost. All inside Business Central, without jumping to other tools, without rekeying the data.
Lay out your production orders on the visual Gantt. Drag operations between work centres and the system validates capacity, dependencies and material availability. Automatic workload levelling suggests adjustments before bottlenecks appear. What you plan with visibility, you execute without surprises.
Operators check in from their shop floor screen and declare progress on every operation in the routing. They log consumption with lot and serial traceability, raise incidents with a photo and a comment, and record quality measurements with their calibrated equipment. Shop floor screens are configured around what each operator profile actually does. Zero keyboards outside the shop floor.
Machines push signals to the ERP through 7 industrial protocols (OPC UA, Modbus TCP, MQTT, S7, REST, MTConnect, EthernetIP). Check-ins are generated automatically from Run/Stop signals. Piece counts and cycle times update on their own. Alarms turn into incidents with no human intervention. Your factory stops depending on a pen.
Live KPIs: actual versus planned output, OEE by machine, efficiency by shift, actual versus standard costs. Traffic-light shop floor dashboard. Automatic delay detection with alerts to sales and to the customer. The conversation with your CFO stops being "I think we're on track" and becomes "this is exactly where we are, right now".
dvproduction is a Microsoft-certified extension for Dynamics 365 Business Central. If you already run Business Central, it extends your ERP with the industrial capabilities the standard product does not cover. If you are considering replacing a legacy ERP, in-house developments or several disconnected systems, Business Central + dvproduction is implemented as one complete solution: production, warehouse, purchasing, sales, costing and finance in a single environment — no middleware, no external databases, no additional servers.
| Capability | Standard BC | BC + dvproduction |
|---|---|---|
| MES shop floor control embedded in BC | ||
| Screens configurable per work centre | ||
| Workload matrix with % utilisation and automatic levelling | ||
| Subcontracting and external operations inside the production flow | ||
| 7 industrial IoT protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, S7, REST, MTConnect, EthernetIP) |
The full comparison covers 3 areas integrated into a single extension: Shop Floor Control (MES), Visual Scheduling and Machine IoT Connectivity.
The table above is a preview. The full document breaks down every capability across the three areas — shop floor control (MES), visual scheduling and machine IoT connectivity — so you can compare it with what you already have.
dvproduction covers manufacturing, and depending on what your plant needs it can be complemented with the rest of the Davisa ecosystem —warehouse, quality, finance, productivity and equipment control— within the same Business Central.
Las fábricas industriales que trabajan con metal, mecanizado, montaje, plástico y PET coinciden en lo mismo: necesitan datos reales de planta, menos paros sin registrar y una planificación que responda a lo que está pasando en las máquinas.
We track the progress of our production in real time, which lets us get ahead of anything unexpected.
Having all the data and information integrated in a single tool like dvproduction has allowed us to optimise both our production and management processes.
Implementing the ERP with Davisa has far exceeded our expectations.
dvproduction is an extension/MES for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central aimed at industrial manufacturers that need to connect shop floor and office in real time. It manages production orders, routings, operations, work centres, machines, operators, consumption, quality, subcontracting, visual scheduling and actual costs inside the same environment where the company runs purchasing, sales, inventory, finance and accounting.
It adds shop floor control (MES), visual scheduling with Gantt and workload matrix, shop-floor data capture, machine IoT connectivity and actual cost per production order — no middleware, no external databases. Alongside Business Central, it completes the ERP suite with financial and analytical control.
For manufacturers in machining, metalworking, boilermaking, capital goods, assembly, machinery, plastic/PET and cardboard, with routings and make-to-order, make-to-stock or mixed production.
Each type of manufacturing has its own page:
No. dvproduction extends Business Central with shop floor control, MES, visual scheduling, shop floor capture, IoT and industrial costing. If you already run Business Central, it is added on top of what you have; if you are considering changing ERP, Business Central + dvproduction is implemented as a complete industrial management solution.
If you have already watched the demo or the webinar and want to work out whether dvproduction fits the way you manufacture, we can go through your questions in a short call.
