Traceability

Traceability in manufacturing is the ability to reconstruct, forward and backward, the full genealogy of a product: which raw materials, components, operators, machines, and process parameters went into a given serial or lot.

In depth

Strong traceability answers two questions in seconds: given a finished good, what is in it and who touched it; given a suspect raw-material lot, which finished goods are at risk. It requires capturing identifiers (lot, serial, operator ID, machine ID) at every step and linking them in a queryable graph. Azumuta builds this graph automatically from the sign-offs on digital work instructions and quality checks, so recalls, audits, and continuous-improvement analyses don’t require manual log-diving.
