Build Printing Production Monitoring Dashboard

PrintPulse: Printing Machine Production Monitoring System
Project Description:

PrintPulse is a web-based application designed to monitor and manage the production output of seven printing machines through a centralized dashboard. It helps administrators and designers create printing jobs, track production quantities, and reduce unnecessary overprinting.
Main Features
- Secure Login: Separate access for administrators, designers, and operators.
- Job Management: Enter job number, customer name, artwork details, machine, and required quantity.
- Automatic Monitoring: Collect machine counter readings through a suitable connector.
- Live Dashboard: Display required, printed, and remaining quantities.
- Overprinting Alerts: Notify users when production reaches or exceeds the target.
- Reports: Generate daily production reports and export data to Excel and CSV.
- Search and Filters: Find jobs by job number, customer, machine, or date.
- Data Security: Restrict unauthorized access and maintain activity logs.
Technologies Used
Python, FastAPI, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQLite, and SQLAlchemy.
