Connect equipment, process context, and the path toward bean-to-bar visibility.
FactoryLink is the connected operations layer of CocoaCraftOS. It helps chocolate makers attach equipment context, maintenance history, and run-level process visibility to the production record — creating a stronger foundation for process control today and bean-to-bar traceability over time.
FactoryLink helps chocolate makers answer three operational questions:
- What equipment ran today, and under what conditions?
- Which batches hit or missed the intended process profile?
- How do machine history, maintenance, and run context connect back to product quality?
Why FactoryLink matters
Equipment context
Know which machine, setup, and process environment shaped the batch.
Maintenance visibility
Connect maintenance and calibration history to production confidence.
Traceability foundation
Create the operational record needed to support stronger bean-to-bar visibility as the platform grows.
How FactoryLink fits the workflow
Use FactoryLink alongside Chocolate Lab and Maker Workshop to connect formulation and production decisions with equipment-level context over time.
1. Register equipment
Create digital records for critical machines and process constraints.
2. Link runs
Tie production runs to equipment context, lot history, and operator records.
3. Improve control
Use machine and maintenance history to improve consistency and quality outcomes.
Where FactoryLink fits into CocoaCraft layers
Chocolate Lab starts formulation. Maker Workshop structures production. FactoryLink extends both toward connected operations and long-term traceability.
| Capability | Chocolate Lab | Maker Workshop |
|---|---|---|
| Formulation records | Recipe history and process notes. | Recipe history plus production release controls. |
| FactoryLink posture | Roadmap path for advanced labs. | Foundation for equipment context and maintenance visibility. |
| Run linkage | Limited to formulation context. | Runs, lots, operators, and machine-linked context over time. |
| Traceability readiness | Starting point. | Operational foundation for broader bean-to-bar visibility. |
