Kill the paper clipboards. Track exactly who built what, which parts they used, and where the machine is on your factory floor—all by scanning simple barcodes.
In most factories today, workers use paper traveler sheets and clipboards to check off parts as they build a machine. If a customer complains a year later that a faulty motor was installed, you have to dig through dusty filing cabinets to figure out who installed it and which batch the motor came from.
In-Factory Barcode Traceability digitizes this entire process. Every raw component gets a simple barcode sticker. As workers assemble the machine, they scan the parts with a handheld scanner or a mobile phone. This instantly creates a permanent digital map (a "Bill of Materials") showing exactly what went into that specific machine.
Know exactly how many components are in your raw materials store, which ones are currently on the assembly line, and which are ready to ship.
Because workers scan their own ID badges before scanning parts, you know exactly which technician assembled each component, ensuring quality control.
If a supplier tells you a specific batch of valves was defective, you can instantly search your dashboard to see exactly which 5 machines got those bad valves.
Let's step onto the factory floor. Imagine you manufacture large diesel generators. Here is how Vula Trace tracks the assembly from start to finish without slowing down your workers:
A shipment of engine blocks arrives from a supplier. The store manager prints and slaps a Vula Trace barcode on each block. The system now knows you have 50 engine blocks in stock.
A worker named Rajesh is tasked with attaching the alternator to the engine block. Rajesh scans his ID badge, scans the engine block's barcode, and then scans the alternator's barcode. The software instantly links these two parts together under Rajesh's name.
The completed generator rolls off the line. The QA inspector runs a final test, approves it, and generates the Master QR Code sticker. This single Master QR code now contains the history of every sub-component scanned during assembly.
