Production Genealogy Solution

  • Recalling only defective products based on lot history
  • Collecting WIP information between process stations that are distributed
  • Maintaining granular pedigree information for compliance at the component batch level
  • Provides detailed historical information related to production, inspection, genealogy and usage
  • Provides historical information on the product both upstream tracking parts that make the product and downstream detailing location of products containing a certain part
  • Provides real-time reports and dashboards on the machines, components, stations, shifts and operators involved in the defective product and processes before the product is shipped

Overview
Documenting the 'Genealogy' of the product has become extremely important in complex manufacturing environments with many product variations requiring coordination across equipments, tools and process steps. Companies are increasingly expected to employ systems to manage product identification, with unit level traceability for individual components and lot level traceability for products and sub-assemblies. 

Solution
Geneology tracking within the KeyTone solution includes not only process and product information but also validation of the individual components of the BOM processed within the process tool. The solution validates manufacturing process and provides product and process traceability detail 

SmartWIP's component traceability platform enables product identification and tracking through all stages of manufacturing and storage. Data collection methods include lot-tracking numbers that allow forward and reverse traceability of products. Individual component tracking from the BOM and Recipe ensure complete component traceability. Record retention guidelines based on the enterprise policy ensure lot history maintenance. 

The SmartWIP platform ensures:

  • Component Lot Traceability From Automated Mounters 
  • Component Lot Traceability From Hand Insertion 

The solution offers enterprises the ability to: 

  • Capture product genealogy facilitating tracing component products sent to the customer back to the manufacturing lot and the individual manufacturing process stations. 
  • Manage complex validations at every manufacturing step to identify the non-conformities within the manufacturing process 
  • Leverage the current MES systems for information
