Production traceability means keeping a record of which raw material lot, machine and operator went into each product, and which customer it was shipped to. Digital Bridge builds traceability systems that record every step from goods-in to dispatch using barcode, QR or RFID, so a complaint or recall is traced to the affected batches in a single query.
A customer complaint or a supplier warning about a faulty raw material always raises the same question: which products did this lot go into, and where were they shipped? When the answer is spread across paper records, spreadsheets and different departments, piecing it together takes days and is rarely complete. Unsure of the scope, many manufacturers recall far more than they need to.
We choose the readers, label printers and station software to suit your shop floor and connect the traceability system to your ERP and MES. The outcome: forward and backward tracing in a single query, recalls limited to the batches actually affected, and customer audit files ready when asked for.
Incoming material is booked in under the supplier lot number. Certificates of analysis are attached to that lot and stay accessible wherever the material is used.
Each item is scanned at every station, capturing machine, operator, timestamp and process parameters. The system checks the previous step is complete before the next begins, so skipped steps are blocked.
Barcode and QR labels at lot, pallet, serial or unit level. Laser marking and RFID tags for areas exposed to heat, oil or abrasion.
See on one screen which products and customers a raw material lot reached, or which lots went into a given finished product.
Run a recall drill before a real incident: the list of affected customers, shipments and quantities is produced at once, showing your team and your auditors that the process works.
A traceability file is compiled automatically for every shipment, so preparing for a customer audit no longer means days of chasing documents.
Together we decide the tracking level (lot, pallet, unit) and which process steps to record, based on what your customers and auditors expect.
Label format and coding rules are set, and readers, printers and marking equipment are chosen for your site conditions.
Readers go in at each station and the tracing software is connected to your ERP and MES, so nothing is keyed in twice.
Forward and backward tracing is tested on sample lots, a mock recall is run, and the system goes live with your team trained.
A manufacturer that cannot isolate the faulty lot has to play safe and recall everything produced in that period. Lot-level traceability limits the same recall to the batches actually affected, which is often where the investment pays for itself. To tie traceability into your quality processes, see our Quality Management System page.
Production traceability means recording which raw material lot, machine, operator and process parameters went into each product, and which customer it was shipped to. Digital Bridge builds this record by scanning barcode, QR or RFID at every step from goods-in to dispatch, so when a problem appears the affected batches are found in a single query.
Backward traceability shows which raw material lots, machines and operators went into a finished product. Forward traceability shows which products a raw material lot went into and which customers received them. Our system shows both directions on one screen, so a supplier warning or customer complaint is answered in one query rather than days.
Barcode and QR labels printed at lot, pallet, serial or unit level are enough for most production lines. Laser marking or RFID tags suit areas exposed to heat, oil or abrasion. The label format, coding rules and the readers, printers and marking equipment are agreed at the start of the project to suit your site conditions.

Yes. Once readers are installed at each station, the tracing software is connected to your ERP and MES so nothing is keyed in twice. Before go-live, forward and backward tracing is tested on sample lots, a mock recall is run and your team is trained. A traceability file is then compiled automatically for every shipment.
