Tracing
Meaning of tracing
  • Lot-based and company internal tracing of all supply chains possible in order to be able to reconstruct whole delivery networks
  • Lot-based tracing of the whole supply chain seemingly possible
  • tracing possible up to arbitrarily small granularity
  • intra company tracing possible
  • tracing possible up to arbitrarily small granularity
  • one step forward and one step back food traceability
Levels of traceability:
  • Supply Chain Monitoring
  • Volume based mass balancing
  • Batch traceability

Backward and forward traceability:
  • all along the supply chain from raw material to finish
  • 100% Traceability reporting from factory door to door
  • integrated, real-time product traceability (forward and backward)
  • quality management in discrete, batch and continuous process environments
Data gathering along different stages of the supply chain:
  • in the exact places of origin
  • production
  • conversion
  • storage
  • delivery
  • Make traceability a natural extension of the supply chain
  • full supply chain trace-forward and trace-back capabilities, from field to fork
  • Efficient traceability of products in the event of a recall
  • Knowing for any item on a sales order, what purchase orders it connects to
  • One step forward and one step backward
  • Trace by supplier receipt (date, P.O., truck ID, shipping manifest number, supplier product ID), best before date, product name, production date, lot number, inventory status, customer
Track + Trace
Real-time tracking of products at the lot level
  • Enforce lot numbers across all of your inventory items
  • Maintains each lot number throughout the production process
  • Tracks user who did the transaction, the date and time
  • bidirectional traceability: account for the raw materials through the production process to finished product
  • Record product lot numbers as they are received into your warehouse
  • Manage the movement of each product as it is used or shipped
  • Maintain the traceability path of product’s if used as a raw material
  • Quickly identify the location of every unit of a specific lot controlled product
  • Full track forward and trace back capability
  • Ability to record or create Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) references and traceability throughout the supply chain.
  • Complete traceability of products (by single item, product category, lot, etc.)
  • Tracking of serial numbers and lot numbers
General:
  • Tracking both up and down the supply chain, directly to specific application areas, suppliers of specific batches/lots of inventory

'Always on' traceability:
  • capturing of traceablity details at the earliest possible point in the supply chain
  • no redundancy
  • permanant preservation
  • identification using many recall factors.
  • Lot traceability
  • uses traceability technology in ways to improve operations while integrating data collection needs for planning, purchasing, production, sales and distribution, quality assurance, food safety and traceability.
  • Managers and floor operators are alerted in advance when a quality assurance or food safety issue is about to occur.
