Track & trace and DWM at a manufacturing plant

A manufacturing company wants better visibility and control over its production process. They choose WISe (Workflow and Integration Server) from Auron Software to implement track and trace and Daily Workflow Management (DWM).

Track and trace provides full visibility of materials and products throughout the production process. Recording each step. This makes it possible to see where a product comes from, where it is now, and where it goes next. It supports quality control, compliance, and faster issue resolution.

DWM focuses on monitoring and improving daily operations on the shop floor. It gives teams real-time insight into performance, interruptions, and progress. This helps operators and supervisors react quickly and keep production on track.

Solution Setup

Auron Software sets up the WISe server on a central server. A staging server is also configured for testing and validation. In addition, a backup server ensures a fallback options with high availability.

Track & Trace Implementation

Auron Software helps with implementing track and trace across the full production process. Each stage has input and output kiosk scanners.

Operators scan materials and products when they enter and leave a process step. This creates a complete and accurate trace of all production movements.

Real-Time Machine Integration

The HMI systems on the machines connect directly to WISe. This connection uses direct database integration.

The WISe notification broker enables real-time communication. Updates are processed immediately. This ensures that all data in WISe reflects the current production state.

Daily Workflow Management (DWM)

DWM is implemented at two levels on the shop floor. It supports both operators and shift supervisors in their daily work.

At the machine level, operators use the HMI to register interruptions and delays. They also perform and record workplace inspections directly in the system. This captures issues immediately. It creates a reliable and structured record of daily events.

In addition, dedicated displays are installed at the machines for shift supervisors. These screens provide a real-time overview of the machine status. They show active interruptions, recent issues, and overall performance.

The displays also show production progress in relation to the planning. This includes the actual production offset against the planned production for the current shift. The production data is derived from the track and trace system, ensuring consistency across the process.

This combination of operator input and real-time visualization gives supervisors immediate insight. They can quickly identify deviations and take action where needed.

Results

Floor supervisors can see the status of their production area at a glance. They quickly identify delays or disruptions.

This improves decision-making on the shop floor. It also increases transparency and control across the entire production process.
