The Nightmare of an Uncontained Recall

If a supplier delivers a defective lot of bearings that gets mixed into thousands of assembled motors, how do you know which customers received the compromised products? Without lot-level traceability, a manufacturer is forced to recall entire product lines, resulting in millions of dollars in damages and destroyed reputation.

Bidirectional Genealogy Tracking

Enterprise manufacturing demands complete backward (from finished product serial number down to the raw material supplier heat number) and forward (from raw chemical drum lot number up to all dispatched customer invoices) traceability.

Deploying Relaso Manufacturing ERP ensures that batch numbers, expiration dates, and inspection test certificates are locked to each serial unit across every production operation.
