Manufacturing WIP Tracking and Traceability Solution for Complete Inventory & Process Control

  

Real Time WIP Tracking With The Mobile App And QR Codes

Problem: We fabricate complex, multi-level assemblies for clients, and have no reliable way to monitor and control the process from start to finish.

QR Inventory Solution: With the QR Inventory software you can track work in progress in real time. Shop floor employees use a mobile app to scan QR codes and fill out digital forms for each process step. All updates are instantly synced to the cloud, giving your team live visibility into every job, component, and assembly - across all departments and locations.

Problem: Once products leave the shop, we lose visibility. We have no consistent way to record deliveries, installations, or field service work, and no reliable proof of what was done or when.

QR Inventory Solution: Tracking continues seamlessly after production is complete. Employees use the same QR code scanning mobile app to log finished product delivery, installation, or service in the field. They can take photos for visual documentation, collect customer signatures directly on a smartphone, and automatically sync all records to the cloud. You maintain a complete digital history from fabrication through installation - no paper forms, no missing data.

Problem: We need to track work orders as they move through production, but we don't want to depend on employees to scan QR codes or record every step manually.

QR Inventory Solution: With IoT and BLE technologies WIP tracking is fully automated. IoT gateways installed at each workstation automatically detect work orders labeled with BLE tags, and report their arrival and departure to the centralized cloud system. You get real-time visibility into live work order status and a complete production history of current and past jobs - all without employee input or manual scanning.

Problem: We often lose track of partial assemblies or components between stages of production.

QR Inventory Solution: QR Inventory lets you define production steps and automatically track WIP items as they move from one stage to another. You always know which assemblies are in process, which are complete, and what materials were used - ensuring full visibility and accountability at every stage.

  

Live Asset & Work Order Status Dashboards

Problem: We have no easy way to show what is happening across multiple jobs, work orders, and departments in real time. Shop floor employees don't have time to check for updates on a computer or even open a mobile app during production. We need a simple way to display live job status on TV screens throughout the facility.

QR Inventory Solution: The QR Inventory live WIP status dashboard does exactly that. You can broadcast real-time production updates, next steps, assigned employees, and other key information on wall-mounted monitors anywhere in your facility. As soon as a process is completed or updated in the mobile app, the dashboard refreshes automatically - no manual refresh or data entry required. Everyone stays informed, aligned, and focused on their work without interruptions.

Problem: Our supervisors spend too much time following up with teams to get production updates.

QR Inventory Solution: Every mobile scan or process update instantly reflects on the dashboard. Supervisors can see which work orders are on track or delayed without sending messages or walking the floor. The system becomes your digital control center for production activity.

  

BOM & Kitting (Assemblies & Kits)

Problem: We build assemblies and kits, but tracking which components were used and where they came from is complicated and error-prone.

QR Inventory Solution: Define each assembly or kit in the system with a bill of materials (BOM). When employees build or disassemble a unit, they scan each component’s QR code or select it from the list. The system automatically logs which parts went into which assembly — providing instant traceability and precise inventory deduction.

Problem: Our team spends too much time preparing kits or tracking components manually.

QR Inventory Solution: Pre-defined BOMs and mobile scanning make kitting fast and error-free. The system verifies component availability and prevents builds with missing or incorrect parts, ensuring accuracy from the start.

  

Lot & Serial Number Tracking for Compliance

Problem: Tracking lot and serial numbers for inventory requires extensive paperwork and constant data entry. It distracts employees from production tasks, adds extra workload, and still doesn't guarantee accurate records. When an audit or recall happens, finding the right information takes hours.

QR Inventory Solution: With the QR Inventory software, shop floor employees no longer need to fill out paper forms or spreadsheets. They can track lot and serial numbers through every production step using a mobile app for QR code scanning, digital notes, and electronic forms. All records are instantly synced to the cloud - no duplicate entry required. Every detail of product traceability, from lot origin and production history to assembly composition and final delivery, is available on demand through the secure cloud interface.

Problem: Auditors often ask for detailed production traceability, and we spend hours collecting paperwork and matching records.

QR Inventory Solution: The digital record includes all process steps, timestamps, and responsible employees, eliminating paperwork and manual reconciliation. Generate traceability reports in seconds for any product, lot, or time period.

  

End-to-End Traceability Without Paperwork

Problem: Our production data is scattered across paper logs, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems — we can't easily see the full path from raw materials to finished products.

QR Inventory Solution: QR Inventory unifies your entire manufacturing record - materials, WIP stages, assemblies, inspections, and shipments - into one traceable digital trail. All data is captured at the point of work using smartphones or tablets, stored securely in the cloud, and instantly available for search and reporting. You gain full end-to-end visibility, without paperwork, delays, or data entry errors.

Problem: Switching to digital traceability sounds complex and expensive.

QR Inventory Solution: There is no special hardware or complex setup. Use your existing smartphones or tablets to scan QR codes and capture production data. QR Inventory software integrates seamlessly with your current workflows - giving you enterprise-grade traceability without the enterprise cost.
