Customer traceMATERIAL & PRODUCT GENEALOGY
Trace backward. Find forward.
Move from a finished good to its supplier lots, or from one material lot to every affected work order and customer shipment.
Finished good → work order → process → component → supplier lot.
Supplier lot → material issue → unit → shipment → customer.

COMPLIANCE CONTROL MATRIX
Turn requirements into visible controls.
Documents, revisions, training, inspections, approvals, and retention rules become active records—not checklists assembled only when an audit begins.

RECALL READINESS
Simulate exposure before a real event.
A recall drill brings affected lots, quantities, locations, shipments, customers, containment, and closure evidence into one workspace.
- Affected quantity and location exposure
- Shipment and customer identification
- Containment actions and ownership
- Evidence package and closure trail
EVIDENCE ARCHITECTURE
Trusted records are built in five layers.
Identity
Parts, lots, serials, assets, documents, and users have consistent unique keys.
Event
Every movement, process, inspection, change, and approval is captured as an event.
Evidence
Labels, photos, readings, documents, results, and signatures remain attached to transactions.
Control
Validation, revision, authorisation, expiry, and exception rules run inside the process.
Recovery
Backward trace, forward trace, reconciliation, recall, and audit can be executed quickly.
WHERE TRACEABILITY MATTERS
Built for processes that cannot lose the trail.
Each use case can start with one identity and critical event, then expand into end-to-end genealogy.
Manufacturing
Material genealogy, WIP history, operators, machines, process results, ECNs, and product release.
Warehouse
Supplier lots, internal serials, locators, transfers, quality holds, picking, and shipment trace.
Quality
Inspection evidence, NCRs, deviations, dispositions, CAPA, approvals, and closure history.
Engineering
Drawing revisions, BOMs, ECR/ECN, effectivity, approvals, and affected work orders.
Maintenance
Asset history, inspections, meters, spare parts, technicians, failures, and calibration records.
Distribution
Batches, expiry, allocation, delivery, customer exposure, returns, and recall readiness.
IMPLEMENTATION PATH
Start with the critical trace. Expand in stages.
Define
Define critical identities, events, evidence, owners, and retention requirements.
Connect
Connect scanners, MES, WMS, ERP, quality, testers, databases, and document sources.
Control
Activate validation, revisions, approvals, exceptions, genealogy, and audit trails.
Prove
Run trace tests, recall drills, audit simulations, and data reconciliation.
FAQ
Questions about traceability and compliance.
01What can the system trace?+
Materials, supplier lots, internal serial numbers, work orders, processes, operators, machines, inspection results, deviations, approvals, shipments, and documents can be connected as needed.
02Does it support backward and forward trace?+
Yes. Backward trace reveals origin and process history. Forward trace reveals every use, affected unit, location, and shipment.
03How does it support audits?+
Every record retains timestamps, users, changes, evidence, approvals, and revisions. Exceptions and incomplete records become visible before the audit.
04Can it connect to existing systems?+
Yes. Integration can use APIs, databases, scanners, testers, file exchange, or middleware depending on the current environment.
05Does it support recall drills?+
Yes. The system can calculate affected quantity, customer exposure, containment status, action ownership, and closure evidence.
