Abstract

This document presents a modular traceability system that allows integration with ERP systems, as well as integration with RFID for identification and geo-positioning technologies. The system is designed to provide a complete and efficient solution for tracking products and materials on a production line. In this article it will describe the implementation for 3 different facilities of a global producer of rolled steel in the United States. The system was implemented to track and control the plates and vehicles (trucks) used for production with the main objective of reducing delays in production and improving performance KPIs. After implementation it was possible to observe an increase in production volume, reduction of stops and better control of vehicles (trucks). The system has been totally integrated through the interface with the ERP system and the use of different hardware: Tablet, Scanner, PC, Printers GPS and RFID. The system contemplates the production process digitalization and workflows optimization, including tracking of trucks and plates, inventory management, production and performance indicators, quality certificates, in addition to providing dashboards and reports for process analysis.
