Manufacturing Operations Suite
TITAN Core
I'm Chuck McKinney, and I built TITAN Core, short for Team Integrated Technology and Networking: a connected system for production, training, document control, inventory, maintenance, shared actions, configurable communication, ERP foundations, and internal manufacturing workflows.

Direct Contribution
What I built
I designed the product direction, data and service boundaries, desktop and handheld workflows, shared client/API contracts, module navigation, role-aware administration, and the working application surfaces shown here. I also built the supporting test, deployment, licensing, documentation, and rollout foundations needed to treat TITAN Core as a real product rather than a collection of disconnected screens.
Why it exists
One platform for the operational mess that usually lives everywhere
TITAN is built around the real pressure points in a manufacturing plant: job status in one place, training evidence in another, controlled documents in shared folders, maintenance work in a separate tracker, inventory corrections in spreadsheets, and follow-up buried in email. The goal is to make the work visible, assignable, searchable, and defensible.
Production Floor
Line status, workstation context, applicable documents, support signals, scrap notes, and supervisor-ready visibility.

DCR intake, approvals, signatures, release steps, document library access, content search, and audit evidence.

Real application areas, not just a pitch deck
These screens show real TITAN Core application work across the production floor, training records, controlled documents, inventory, maintenance, and shared action flow.
Production Floor
Operator work context, controlled documents, production signals, and support visibility.
Training Passports
Employee readiness, completion evidence, training gaps, and compliance review.
Document Control
Document change request processing, approvals, signatures, and release evidence.
Inventory
Item visibility, stock context, container workflows, holds, counts, and adjustments.
Maintenance
Assets, PM risk, work orders, downtime exposure, and technician execution flow.
Shared Actions
Cross-module follow-up, approvals, escalations, notifications, and source routing.
Storefront Presentation
A buyer-facing front door for the suite
TITAN also has a marketing surface that frames the same application as a packageable product: overview, module pages, plan positioning, implementation story, and demo request flow.
Product overview
The storefront explains TITAN as one operations hub with modules, screenshots, plans, and demo flow.
Module catalog
Buyer-facing module pages show what each area solves and how the workflow fits into the plant.
Focused sales pages
Individual pages can turn each module into a focused demo story instead of one giant product dump.
Handheld Workflows
For the people moving through the plant
TITAN is not only a desk application. The handheld experience is designed for badge sign-in, numbered actions, Universal Scan, inventory operations, and compact phone-sized use on the floor.
- Badge sign-in for shared devices.
- Universal Scan for locations, parts, containers, work orders, and tracking codes.
- Inventory screens for counts, moves, holds, receipts, and placement work.
- Numbered actions that fit scanner and keypad workflows.
A suite that can start small and grow across facilities
Start with the modules that fix the biggest operational mess, then expand into deeper workflows, integrations, and custom implementation support.
Core Ops
Production Floor, Document Control, Training basics, ERP foundation, and user/role setup.
Professional
Core Ops plus Inventory, Maintenance, Shared Actions, configurable email, and stronger accountability workflows.
Enterprise
Advanced administration, multi-site planning, integration support, reporting depth, and rollout controls.
Custom Implementation
Workflow discovery, data migration, custom screens, reports, forms, training, and launch support.
Business Use
A strong example for manufacturing ownership conversations
For a financial owner with multiple manufacturing sites, TITAN shows a repeatable product direction: standardize plant operations, centralize workflow visibility, reduce manual handoffs, and create software that could be licensed, adapted, hosted, or expanded across facilities.
- Operational valueReplace scattered workflows with connected production, training, document, inventory, and maintenance visibility.
- Rollout valueStart with the biggest plant problem, then expand module by module as the organization is ready.
- Commercial valuePosition the suite for internal use, reseller rights, managed hosting, or custom implementation packages.
Current positioning
Portfolio demonstration only. TITAN Core is not open source or publicly licensed. Commercial use requires a separate written agreement.
Commercial and ownership terms
I am showing TITAN Core here as a portfolio and example piece, but it is a fully developed application that can be demonstrated if needed. It is not an open-access platform or a public off-the-shelf product from this page. Any commercial use, resale structure, exclusive rights, source ownership, hosting agreement, residual arrangement, access to source code, or deployment package requires ownership review and a specific written agreement.
