Looking for a solution?

Material genealogy links the raw materials, components, batches and process steps used to make a product. It lets teams trace backward from a finished item to its inputs and forward from an input lot to potentially affected products. Reliable genealogy depends on accurate identification and capture at each relevant production and material-handling step.
