Production software
Product traceability provides a number of competitive advantages. Thanks to the ability to analyze the process route and all components and raw materials used, we can accurately recreate the production process and verify its correctness. It also provides full transparency of the process for end customers, and in the event of quality problems, it allows not only to recreate their causes, but also to identify threats in other products made from the same batch of components or from the same raw material.
The motivations for recording full product traceability may be very different, although in each case it provides a number of benefits. First of all, it allows you to look at production processes from a completely new perspective. The production history contained in the product also includes information about the components used, raw materials, production stations and the team that manufactured the product at a given stage. The data recorded in this way is invaluable for further analysis.
There are a number of market areas where product traceability is required by the law, by contracts between entities or by the nature of the product itself.
Product certification and the highest process standards are much easier to obtain and maintain when we monitor not only the entire production, but each product individually.
SUsing the best solutions regarding the production BOM will not allow you to avoid the quality control stage. Thanks to traceability, this stage will be much simpler because it will be possible to verify not only the product, but also the production history.
For many industries, subcontracting components and raw materials requires meeting not only rigorous customer standards, but also maintaining full production transparency to maintain the highest standards.
Clear visualization of the transformation of raw materials and components into a finished product in the form of a graph.
Each graph node corresponds to the next production iteration.
A complete production history is available for each iteration - what, who, when and where.
By tracking individual components and raw materials, we can check in which other products they were used.
All production waste and items that have been or need to be disposed of are also recorded.
The finished product can be broken down into prime factors and the production is analyzed "from the end". This may be particularly useful when creating product samples and searching for the best technological process.
At each stage of production, it is possible to add attributes indicating potential quality problems, which allows for more accurate quality control.
Being aware of quality problems in a batch of components or raw materials, we can mark all products made from them as products with a high risk of quality problems. This is particularly useful for e.g. "recall" service calls.
Products can be marked in any way - from simple 1D codes, through 2D codes, automatic application of codes to the product, to RFID and NFC tags.
The product can be identified at each stage with one, the same label. However, a new label can be generated each time, which will not only facilitate identification, but will also allow the basic parameters of the semi-finished product or product to be included on the label.
In each traceability node, we record many parameters related to a given production stage. Shift, crew and operator are also parameters that are worth recording to identify the creators of given products.

This depends on several factors. Firstly, the possibility of integrating the software used. Secondly, the data that the software collects. If they are sufficient and if there is any rational integration path, then yes - we can add a dedicated traceability module.
Of course. By recording the traceability of each product individually, we can group them into logical entities (e.g. batches) and then prepare a report for the entire group. There are no restrictions in this regard. However, it is important to take into account the fact that each batch may consist of different batches of components used in production. Consequently, logical division should be consistent with component batches.
Knowing the entire production path from the arrival of raw materials and components to the finished product, we can analyze at what stage quality problems occurred. Additionally, we are able to indicate where these problems may still occur, or what other products were created at the same time from the same raw materials and components.
Yes. We can base traceability on blockchain, a technology that leaves no possibility of manually interfering with the data. It also does not allow interfering with the data chain, which can be particularly useful in the case of traceability. By using this technology, it is possible to guarantee that the chain reproduces the data recorded in production unchanged.
NO. Data recording should be done in a completely natural way for production operators or in a completely automatic way. Data can be recorded based on barcodes, QR codes or RFID/NFC tagging. Integration with production software should allow for obtaining this data in the background, without the intervention of operators or the production manager.
