WIP Tracking Software - Real-Time Production Visibility With QR Codes Or BLE

Work-in-progress (WIP) tracking software records and monitors every step of the production process — giving manufacturers real-time visibility into job status, each product location, and progress. With QR Inventory software you can track work in progress efficiently, on the shop floor in real time without any physical paperwork or spreadsheets. Shop floor employees use a mobile app and QR code scanning to record product movement between production steps and filling our required forms. Each scan instantly updates the centralized cloud system, so managers and technicians always know the live status of everything in production. Unlike complex ERP systems, QR Inventory provides a simple, mobile-first solution for real-time shop floor tracking - affordable, flexible, and ready to use on day one.

WIP Tracking Software Features And Benefits

WIP tracking software makes production transparent and efficient with real-time status updates, mobile data capture, live production status visibility. It helps manufacturers and job shops to better coordinate work, eliminate delays and bottlenecks, reduce errors, and stay compliant with rules and regulations.

Feature	Primary Benefits
Mobile tracking with QR codes Real-time production status tracking on the shop floor with a smartphone and QR code scanning.	Increased Efficiency & Accessibility Allows any authorized worker to instantly log progress using mobile devices. Employees can update work order status from anywhere on the shop floor with a QR code scan, eliminating delays and manual entry errors.
BLE / IoT support Integrate BLE tags and IoT gateways to detect product movement and status change automatically.	Automated Data Capture Automated WIP tracking eliminates manual scanning and human error, ensures continuous status updates without relying on company employees for doing production tracking.
Centralized cloud platform Production status updates and mobile forms completed on smartphones are sent to a centralized cloud database in real time.	Live data access Everyone - from shop floor employees to management - sees the same up-to-date information, can search and access digital documents on demand as needed. Ensures good coordination, prevents project delays and bottlenecks.
Custom workflows Define your own production steps, job types, and data fields to match your process.	Match your unique processes Customizable WIP software adapts to any operation - from assembly lines to custom fabrication - without custom coding or consulting fees.
Digital forms Fill out production forms, from inventory acceptance to testing to quality control, on the smartpone.	Accurate paperwork accessible on demand Streamline data collection, reduce errors and ensure that production paperwork is accurate, searchable and accessible whn needed.
Live dashboard Real-time order status dashboard displayed on the wall-mounted screens throughout the facility.	Instant visibility for the entire team Keeps all employees informed and aligned without constant check-ins, improving communication and work coordination, reducing downtime, and helping teams respond quickly to delays or issues.
BOM management Link production jobs to a detailed bill of materials to automatically track components used in each assembly or manufacturing step.	Ensure material accuracy BOM list accessible on the shop floor on the mobile devices ensures that the right materials are sed in production, Automatic deduction of parts from inventory helps maintain accurate inventory levels, prevents shortages and overstocking.
Lot/serial number tracking Track lot numbers and serial numbers of components used in the finished product with the QR code scan.	End-to-end traceability and quality control Stay compliant and ready for recalls with fast turn around and minimum recalled products with digital traceability documentation and detailed distribution tracking.

 

How QR Inventory Stands Out In Work In Progress (WIP) Tracking

Among production tracking solutions, QR Inventory software stands out with an intuitive mobile app for the shop floor production tracking, centralized data access, real-time visibility into every job and operation, and BLE / IoT option for a fully automated WIP tracking. Built for manufacturers and fabricators of all sizes, QR Inventory software makes tracking work in progress easy, accurate, and paperless — without the complexity or cost of traditional MES or ERP systems.

WIP Tracking In QR Inventory At A Glance

• Best for: manufacturers and fabricators of all sizes who want simple, mobile-first WIP tracking with real-time visibility, and flexible options ranging from QR code smartphone scans to automated BLE tracking and advanced BOM traceability.
• Advantages: simple smartphone-based WIP tracking, real-time production updates, automated status changes via BLE / IoT, customizable workflows, digital production documentation, live status dashboards, and full traceability from materials to finished products.
• Key features: QR code and barcode scanning, mobile WIP tracking with smartphones, real-time visibility into everything in production through a centralized cloud platform, custom workflows, digital forms for testing and quality control, BOM management and traceability.

• Mobile-First Shop Floor WIP Tracking

  Native mobile app for Android and iOS designed for production employees to quickly and easily record production step, fill out form if required, and access fabrication / production instructions. A QR code scan eliminates errors and ensures tracking is done for correct job and production steps. The mobile app interface is simple and fast, minimizing typing and ensuring tracking and data access is effortless.

• Fully Customizable Workflow

  QR Inventory software adapts to your workflow, making sure that you can use it without altering anything in your process. Define your production steps, create custom mobile forms for data collection, customize dashboards and reports to display data that you need. Every company can configure QR Inventory software to mirror their production flow via an intuitive web interface.

• Live Dashboards & Centralized Data

  Real-time dashboards display production status on large TV screens or monitors across the facility, giving everyone an instant view of what's in progress, completed, or delayed. The centralized cloud database ensures that all mobile app updates are immediately visible, on the mobile devices, computers and live dashboards, keeping teams synchronized and efficient.

• Smart Technologies: BLE, IoT, and AI Integration

  QR Inventory software goes beyond QR code WIP tracking. Optional BLE / IoT integration allows manufacturers to track WIP automatically without relying on shop floor employees for scanning. AI / NLP tools built-in the QR Inventory software help you configure the system with guided setup and answers to the questions in natural language.

• Complete Traceability With BOM and Material Usage

  Link each job or assembly to its bill of materials (BOM) to automatically track components used in production. The system deducts parts from inventory as they are consumed, ensuring material accuracy. QR code based tracking of lots and serial numbers of components used in the assembly ensure end-to-end traceability, making sure you are compliant with the rules and ready for recalls.

WIP Tracking Steps: From Pre-Production to Project Completion

With QR Inventory software, you can track inventory and finished goods throughout the entire WIP cycle, from pre-production to client delivery, using barcode or QR code scanning. Here's how it works:
