Many manufacturers still rely on manual data entry, leaving critical build data scattered across paper documents prone to loss, errors, and inefficiencies. Without digitization, tracking inventory, quality, and production becomes a daunting challenge.

But implementing traceability doesn’t have to be expensive or complex. With the right approach, manufacturers can use affordable software and everyday shop floor tools to begin capturing and tracing factory data effectively.

 

What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to leverage digital work instructions and barcode scanners to start capturing data
✅ The key data points needed to contextualize builds and improve operations
✅ How to automate data collection using smart tools
✅ The impact of traceability on root-cause analysis, inventory tracking, and audits
