"Full Lot Genealogy for a Multi-Plant Automotive Supplier”

Tier-1 Automotive Component Manufacturer, supplying safety-critical parts across multiple production lines, was tracking lot and batch data through Paper Logs and Disconnected Spreadsheets. When a quality issue surfaced downstream, tracing the affected lots back to a specific machine, shift, or supplier batch took Days, Not Hours  putting recall response times and IATF 16949 Audit Readiness at risk.

SmartRun implemented a Digital Traceability Platform that captures lot, batch, and station-level data automatically as parts move through the line, giving the plant End-to-End Genealogy from raw material to finished part.
