Can you reconstruct the history of a batch, machine or asset — without piecing it together from several registers?
Remanently keeps the operational context at a specific object. WMS links a batch to receiving, location, movement and issue; CMMS links a machine to reports, inspections and repairs; Asset Management and Tools help establish the location and responsibility for an asset.
Easy to manage
3x more efficient operations
An audit doesn't create the problem. It shows where the process stopped leaving evidence.
The batch is in the ERP, but the movement was written on a piece of paper.
See the areaIt isn't known which batch the return came from.
See the areaThe inspection was done, but the machine's history is incomplete.
See the areaThe part was issued, but it isn't known for which repair.
See the areaThe equipment changed user without registration.
See the areaStock awaiting inspection looks like regular stock.
See the areaDon't search for a document. Start from the object whose history you need to show.
From receiving to issue
WMS lets you trace a batch's history through successive warehouse operations, locations and return.
See batches and movement history →Expiry date and issue order
The expiry date stays in the batch's context and can support choosing which stock should leave first.
See stock rotation →Distinguish the type of stock
Stock can be shown as standard, a return, or goods awaiting quality inspection.
See stock levels →Reports, inspections and repairs
Technical history stays with the specific device and shows what happened to it before.
See machine history →Issued for a specific repair
Connecting WMS with CMMS gives context for which device and action a part was used.
See spare parts →Location and responsibility
Asset Management and Tools help establish where an asset is, who took it and when it came back.
See issues and returns →Evidence is created during the operation, not the day before the audit.
1. Identification
A batch, product, machine, part or asset.
2. Operation
Receiving, movement, issue, report or return.
3. Context
Location, user, date or device.
4. History
Successive events stay with the same object.
5. Verification
You retrace the path and focus on the gaps.
The system does not issue a compliance certificate.
It can provide data and history that support process control. Compliance with a specific standard, and requirements for audit trail, signatures, retention and record immutability must be assessed separately.
First choose the object and the history you need to demonstrate.
You know where the batch was. What happened to the machine that handled it?
Traceability doesn't end at the warehouse.
The next question may concern a device, a part, or the person responsible for an asset.
The batch went through the process. Did the device have a report at that time?
Machine history gives the technical context of the event.
See CMMS →A part was used in a repair. Which batch did it come from?
Stock movement history complements the work order history.
See WMS →The asset has a location. Who actually took it?
Issue and return create a history of responsibility.
See Tools →Questions about history and evidence.
