DRKDS Manufacturing Core (drkds_mfg_core) is the foundation module of the DRKDS manufacturing suite. It introduces two primary capabilities to Odoo 19's manufacturing environment:

• Shopfloor Station Management — Define physical workstations, assign operators, track real-time availability (available / busy / maintenance / offline), and display a live dashboard.
• Configurable Barcode Operations — Create named scan operations (Receipt, Delivery, Internal, Manufacturing) without coding. A simple wizard allows warehouse or shopfloor staff to scan products and auto-validate transfers.

The module is designed for small manufacturers with 5–20 employees who need lightweight shopfloor visibility without the complexity of a full MES system. It installs in under 2 seconds and adds zero performance overhead to existing manufacturing workflows.

The module declares the following dependencies in __manifest__.py:

/home/odoo19/odoo-venv/bin/python3 /home/odoo19/odoo/odoo-bin \
  --config /home/odoo19/odoo.conf \
  --database mfg_test \
  --init drkds_mfg_core \
  --stop-after-init

/home/odoo19/odoo-venv/bin/python3 /home/odoo19/odoo/odoo-bin \
  --config /home/odoo19/odoo.conf \
  --database mfg_test \
  --update drkds_mfg_core \
  --stop-after-init

After install, navigate to Manufacturing → Shopfloor → Station Types. You should see 6 pre-loaded types: Assembly, Welding, Machining, Quality, Testing, Packaging.

The module defines two security groups within the Manufacturing privilege category:

All module menus appear under the standard Manufacturing app. No top-level menu is added.

Navigate to Manufacturing → Configuration → Settings to access module toggles.

Station types are master records that categorize physical stations. They provide color-coding and grouping for the shopfloor dashboard.

Shopfloor stations represent the physical workstations on the factory floor. Each station has a real-time state and can be linked to an Odoo workcenter for production scheduling.

Barcode Operations allow non-technical users to configure scan workflows without writing code. Each operation maps a scan action to a stock picking type and controls behavior like auto-validation and lot tracking.

The scan wizard (drkds.barcode.scan.wizard) is a transient model opened via Manufacturing → Barcode Operations → Scan. It provides a minimal three-step interface:

1. Select the barcode operation from the dropdown.
2. Scan or type the product barcode — product and UoM auto-populate.
3. Enter quantity (and lot/serial if required). Click Confirm to process.

The module extends two standard Odoo models to integrate manufacturing core data into existing workflows.

Settings are implemented by extending res.config.settings and adding a new <app> block in the MRP settings view.

# models/res_config_settings.py
class ResConfigSettings(models.TransientModel):
    _inherit = 'res.config.settings'

    group_mfg_core_barcode = fields.Boolean(
        string='Enable Barcode Operations',
        implied_group='drkds_mfg_core.group_mfg_core_barcode_feature',
    )
    group_mfg_core_shopfloor = fields.Boolean(
        string='Enable Shopfloor Dashboard',
        implied_group='drkds_mfg_core.group_mfg_core_shopfloor_feature',
    )

Access rights are defined in security/ir.model.access.csv. The table below shows the full access matrix.
