Lot & Serial Traceability

Lilly Software designed the Lot & Serial Traceability module of VISUAL Enterprise for manufacturers who require a high level of regulatory control. VISUAL’s Lot & Serial Traceability software provides the necessary level of material control by creating a trace record, or Trace Profile, for each lot number, serial number, or other grouping of a part. You can also automatically track each part as it flows through your plant, and assign additional part-related information, including a description, expiration date, and other user-definable fields.

Within VISUAL Enterprise, Lot & Serial Traceability tracks the part from material receipt from the vendor through the delivery of finished product to the customer. As jobs move through the plant, VISUAL’s traceability software prompts operators for additional information during the receipt and issue of material and when reporting labor. Inquiry capabilities allow you to review the flow of material lots and serialized parts as they move through the manufacturing process, providing you with the regulatory requirements that may be defined by your industry.

The flexibility of the serial trace software allows you to customize part trace requirements and specify additional tracking requirements by part. You can then assign serial numbers to finished products and components used within a Bill of Material, and assign alpha and numeric properties to trace parts within your system.

Lot & Serial Traceability enables the assignment of lot numbers for purchased materials at the time of receipt from either your vendor from your own shop floor, as well as the tracking of raw material lot numbers. Additionally, you can trace customer shipments back to the raw material lot used to produce the finished part.
