Platform Features · Traceability
Every part can testify: who, what, when, where.
Full production genealogy — every part linked to its batch, machine, operator, tool, program and timestamps. When a customer asks, the answer is a search, not an investigation.

The problem it kills
Traceability is quality's memory — and your legal defence.
RECALL
One complaint, whole-lot panic
Without traceability, one bad part quarantines everything. With it, you scope the exact machine-window and release the rest — hours, not weeks.
AUDIT
Auditors who ask 'prove it'
Defence, aerospace and pharma customers want evidence, not assurance. Timestamped genealogy answers before the question finishes.
BLAME
Root cause without records
Was it the material lot, the tool, the setup? Genealogy connects quality events to their exact production context.
How it works
Traceability, the MachineWise way.
Deployed software-first in under an hour, included in one subscription — no per-module licensing.

Questions
Straight answers.
What is manufacturing traceability?
It is the ability to link every part to its batch, route card, machine, operator, shift, tool, program and timestamps. MachineWise builds that genealogy automatically from production, so a customer question becomes a search rather than an investigation.
How quickly can a suspect lot be scoped?
In minutes. You scope the suspect window by machine and time, the affected batches are listed instantly, and everything outside the window can be released instead of quarantining the whole lot.
Does traceability add work for operators?
No. Part counts are linked to the batch and route card automatically, with machine, operator and shift attribution, so there is zero extra operator effort.
Does it support IATF 16949 and aerospace audits?
It supplies the evidence those audits expect: timestamped genealogy, rejection and inspection records attached per batch, and standard-format exports. Pair it with quality and SPC for inspection data.
