Making Manufacturing Traceability Faster and Audit-Ready

A medical device manufacturer from Warsaw, Indiana, depended on paper-based production records to track materials across multiple shifts.

When customer returns occurred, teams had to search through handwritten logs, batch records, and production documents to trace finished products back to their raw material lots. The investigation process often took days, delaying corrective actions.

The issue became more apparent after a returned product could not be linked to its production batch. Days later, the same traceability gap resurfaced during a routine quality audit.

We developed a custom production tracking solution designed for shop-floor operators and quality teams.

The system digitally captured production activities throughout the manufacturing process. It also maintained complete traceability among raw materials, work in progress, and finished products. To support busy production environments, the interface featured large touch controls, glove-friendly navigation, and offline functionality that continued recording production data during temporary network interruptions.

The new solution gave production and quality teams immediate access to accurate traceability records without having to search through paper documents.

Quality investigations that previously required days of record verification could now be completed within minutes. This solution enabled teams to respond more quickly to customer concerns and audit requests.

The implementation was completed without interrupting production. So, operators could adapt to the new system while maintaining normal manufacturing activities.
