Manufacturing - Track & Trace Use Case
Do you know where every work order is on the floor right now?
Parts are serialized and labeled at creation, then move through defined stations. Track & Trace turns those existing print events into
a live record of where every unit is and how long it sat between stages.
How RFID + Track & Trace solves it

1. Serialize at the first station
BarTender prints a 1D/2D or RFID label at the entry station.
Each part, sub-assembly, and finished unit gets a unique serial /
EPC linked to its BOM.
2. Scan or read at each step
A handheld scan or fixed reader at each routing step advances
status (in-progress / pass / fail / rework) and decrements
consumed parts.
3. Post to MES / ERP
Every event posts through middleware, building forward and
backward genealogy for recall readiness and live order status.

06:00 Opens the live status board; overnight work orders show current station and dwell time.
09:30 Stage-to-stage timing flags a bottleneck at Test/QA; reallocates two operators.
13:15 A customer calls for an order status; a serial lookup shows it just cleared Assembly.
16:45 A supplier lot is questioned; reverse lookup
pinpoints exactly which assemblies used it.

BarTender already prints your labels. Track & Trace makes the instant a serialized label prints the moment that item becomes visible, location-aware, and searchable.
