Aplicación móvil usando Flutter para el seguimiento y control de formulaciones en órdenes de producción para la empresa Curtiduría Tungurahua S.A.

Abstract

Digital technology plays a relevant role in modernizing industrial processes by improving their organization and traceability. At Curtiduría Tungurahua S.A., a company dedicated to leather processing in Ambato, opportunities for modernization have been identified in tracking formulations during the leather dyeing process. Manual records are prone to loss and errors, leading to wasted time, resources, product quality issues, and additional costs from reprocessing production orders. This research project aims to align a mobile application focused on monitoring and controlling formulations in production orders, particularly in the dyeing process. The tool digitizes information records, enabling centralized and secure access, thus supporting traceability management in production. Using the MOBILE-D methodology, a flexible approach to project management was adopted. The mobile application was developed with the Flutter framework and the Dart programming language. For the backend, a Web Application Programming Interface (API) was created using Python with the minimalist Flask framework, allowing integration with web services and utilizing Oracle as the database, which was already in use by the company for managing other information systems. Acceptance tests were conducted during development to ensure the application’s functionality. The results demonstrate that the application enables organized monitoring and control of formulations in the production process. Its implementation supports error identification and allows for structured information management, contributing to the monitoring of operations related to production orders at Curtiduría Tungurahua.
