Answer below question

A manufacturing factory operation needs to build an integrated portal system for factory floor employees and staff to use to increase operational efficiency.

The portal will need to connect 300 parts and equipment suppliers, control guided machines on a factory line, move raw materials and finished products from one workstation to another, trigger blockage on the factory line, predict parts replacement, and automate parts ordering. Additionally, the portal should streamline operations for better decision making, inventory management, transactional processing tasks, report generation, and data storage, and communicate reports with authorized users.
