Manufacturing Traceability Platform

Manufacturing Traceability Platform

A current enterprise traceability and MES platform in development, designed to create a durable manufacturing record across production, quality, genealogy, evidence, recovery, and cost.

Technical focus

Enterprise manufacturing architecture: plant model, asset model, traceability, manufacturing execution, genealogy, evidence, holds, recovery, and the serial-level product lifecycle record.

Project mandate

Build a production-grade framework that captures manufacturing facts at the source, protects them through failure and recovery, and consolidates them into a complete serial-level product lifecycle record.

Technical scope

FastAPI and MariaDB services in Docker; OPC UA and MTConnect for industrial connectivity; scanner ingestion, local journals, replay queues, audit trails, evidence references, lifecycle controls, and a Product Lifecycle Record table with one complete row per serial number. Each row becomes the product’s birth certificate, preserving process timestamps, process-camera references, quality history, and the complete manufacturing record.

Operational value

Creates reliable part lineage, quality containment, recoverable event history, and a complete serial-level reference for each product—from ERP-generated order through production, inspection, shipment, labor, and cost.

Collaboration

Engineering, operations, quality, IT, production support, and external enterprise systems align on plant discovery, lifecycle rules, edge collection, evidence, and recovery workflows.
