To enable Zerynth Integration for Odoo:

  • For Odoo Partners: Odoo Partners can request a free demo account here.
  • Client Account: Following the activation of a Zerynth subscription by the Odoo Partner or the End Customer, a Zerynth account will be created for the End Customer and made available to the Partner.

Integration with Odoo​

  1. From the side menu under Tools, select Data Management / Integrations / Odoo.

11_img_11_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

  1. Settings:
  2. Choose DATA from the dropdown menu.
  3. Assign a name to the INTEGRATION.
  4. Enter the URL of the target Odoo database and append "/jsonrpc" at the end (e.g., for the URL https://odoo.test.com, enter https://odoo.test.com/jsonrpc).
  5. Enter the name of the target Odoo database.
  6. Input the access credentials for the Odoo environment: UID and Password.
  7. Click the CREATE button to complete the procedure.

Optional Secondary Settings:

  • Send Raw Data: Use only if you want to receive "raw" data collected by devices (Note: high packet sending frequency).
  • Filters: Use only in situations where you want to include only a specific group of devices (fleet).

12_img_12_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

  1. Enabling Zerynth API for Odoo:

    1. From the Tools menu, navigate to Settings / General. 13_img_13_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo
    2. Click the "+" button next to API Keys. Assign a name to the API KEY, click Create, and copy the newly generated API Key.
Save the API Key in memory, as it will not be possible to copy it later!

14_img_14_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

  • Open the Zerynth App, go to Configuration / Settings.

15_img_15_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

16_img_16_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

If the previous steps are successful, the creation of devices will happen automatically upon receiving the first data on Odoo. All the Edge Devices present in the Zerynth account will automatically appear in Odoo as Virtual Devices.

17_img_17_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

How the integration works​

Once the two accounts are connected, data exchange occurs automatically between the two platforms. Within the "Zerynth" app on Odoo, in the Devices section, Zerynth devices activated on the machinery will appear. Each device must be assigned to the corresponding Work Center present in Odoo.

Work Orders Identification​

The detection of the machinery status (e.g., Idle or Working) identifies a working cycle.

The duration of the machinery in a specific status for a defined period determines the length of the cycle.The parameters collected (e.g., consumption) within that specific interval are assigned to the same working cycle.

18_img_18_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

How the connector works​

With the automatic update of each Work Order, the aggregated data within the production order is also updated:

  • Actual duration of the work order (Sum of times in working)
  • Total electrical consumption (KWh)
  • Produced pieces and rejected pieces

19_img_19_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

Other Features​

Work Center Setup​

20_img_20_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

The automatic closure function of Work Orders can be enabled through the 3 flags present in the "ZCloud Config" tab of each individual Work Center.

  1. Automatic closure from Zerynth is activated only if it is provided in the firmware of the installed device.
  2. Automatic closure from the same machine or other machines is managed by Odoo, with the aim of maintaining only one active Work Order for each work center.

Tooling​

Zerynth devices can send different statuses within Work Orders, other than Idle and Working.

One automatic status that can be detected is the machinery setup (tooling). This status is identified as the initial cycle between the start of the Work Order and the actual initiation of the machinery (status=working).Additional phases depend on the configuration of the device.

Control Machinery for Industry 4.0​

Modern "4.0 Ready" machinery allows for remote loading of instructions (Part Program) onto the PLC necessary for the start of processing.

22_img_22_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

Typically, these are files generated by CAD/CAM software for defining the path to be executed in the processing. In other cases, they consist of a series of variable settings for the machinery (recipes) saved with a unique code for each operation or product.

Machine control is enabled through bidirectional communication between the machinery and the Zerynth Edge Device.

Machine control can be activated if the following requirements are met:

  • The machinery is enabled by the supplier for reading and writing of at least one variable (part program) within the PLC or CNC for initiating the processing.
  • The "Machine Control" app is active for each "4.0 Ready" machine on the Zerynth account.

23_img_23_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

Depending on the type of machinery, four standard loading modes for the part program into the Workcenter in Odoo are defined:

  • File: Requires the upload of a file within the Bill of Materials of each relevant product. Typically involves files indicating the path to be executed by the machinery.
  • Path: If the file is located within a shared network folder, it is possible to directly write the path to uniquely identify it.
  • Variable: If the machinery is configured with a set number of predefined codes or programs, it is possible to set the list of "recipes" for each machine. This allows the operator to select the correct one within the Bill of Materials for each product.
  • Json: It is possible to insert a .json file to configure setups for machinery not covered by the first three standards. The .json file can encompass flexible encoding based on the requirements of the machinery.

Custom Production​

Within the product configuration, there is a "Generic Product" flag, particularly suitable for managing production on specification.

24_img_24_Integrations_CertifiedConnectors_Odoo

In this case, it is possible to manage a single generic product for each product family, assigning a different part program each time directly in individual work orders.

With the flag active, when a work order is initiated on a 4.0 machine, Odoo searches for the part program to start within the work order instead of within the product's Bill of Materials.

Recovery of Unassigned Cycles​

It is possible to retrieve work cycles that have not been assigned to any work order. This might occur if the operator starts the machinery without initiating the corresponding work order first, or starts it late when the machine is already active.

In this scenario, the device continues to record work cycles and sends them to the Zerynth/Devices/Cloud Data screen, where they can be reassigned.

By taking this action, Odoo inserts the cycle into the relevant work order, even after its closure.
