No live view of work in progress
If finding a batch means walking the line, scheduling is guesswork and delivery dates are optimistic.
Industries
Manufacturing
Live work-in-progress visibility, tool and mould control, and batch traceability that stands up to an audit.
The problem
Tools and moulds that go missing
High-value tooling walks between departments and shifts.
Slow root-cause analysis
Reconstructing which machine and which material lot produced a defective batch from paper records takes days.
Raw material wastage
Material issued and not consumed, or consumed and not recorded, shows up as an unexplained variance at month end.
How we solve it
Work-in-progress tracking
Read points at each work centre timestamp every batch through every stage, giving live position and cycle-time history.
Tool, mould and die control
On-metal tags with check-out and check-in at the crib, plus usage counts that drive preventive maintenance schedules.
Batch and lot traceability
Full genealogy from raw material lot to finished goods, retrievable in minutes for a customer complaint or a regulatory audit.
PPE and safety zone compliance
Camera analytics at production entrances checking helmet and vest compliance, with reporting for safety audits.
Where is the batch, right now?
On most production floors the honest answer is somewhere between two workstations, and the way to find out is to walk the line. That uncertainty makes scheduling reactive, makes promised delivery dates soft, and makes root-cause analysis on a quality issue slow.
Typical use cases
- Live WIP position by work centre
- Cycle time and bottleneck analysis
- Tool crib check-out and maintenance scheduling
- Raw material issue and consumption tracking
- Finished goods dispatch verification
- PPE compliance monitoring at zone entry

Frequently asked questions
Will tags survive our production environment?
Depends on the environment, and this is exactly what we test before specifying. There are tags rated for high temperature, chemical exposure, paint lines and autoclaving — but a general-purpose label will not survive any of those.
Can this work with our MES or ERP?
Yes. WIP events feed your MES or ERP through its API or an integration layer we build.
Do we tag every component?
Rarely. Most deployments tag the carrier — the pallet, tote, jig or work order traveller — which follows the batch through production.
Let us look at your manufacturing operation.
Site surveys and first consultations cost nothing. If RFID or surveillance is not the right answer for you, we will say so.
