Industrial Traceability Software
Industrial traceability is part of the ISO 9001 standard requirements, which aim to continuously improve quality while ensuring compliance and process control. In this context, industrial traceability software provides concrete solutions to monitor materials and production operations while meeting performance and safety challenges. Here is an overview of a few key solutions.
COOX
COOX is an industrial traceability platform offering a real-time information system to manage production and traceability on the shop floor. It includes a native traceability and genealogy module that tracks all materials and production operations. With COOX, full batch traceability is ensured: from a finished product, manufacturers can trace back to the raw materials used, and conversely, they can identify all finished products derived from a given batch of raw materials.
The software reconstructs batch flows in real time, recording their genealogy and ensuring fine-grained traceability of manufacturing processes and material flows.COOX can be adapted to any type of industry, from small series to multisite processes. It is widely used in sectors with high traceability requirements such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, automotive, metallurgy, plastics, and aerospace.
Cimag Production
Cimag Production is a real-time production management software that includes a dedicated industrial traceability module.
This module tracks every component and batch throughout the entire manufacturing process. From the moment raw materials are received, they are identified by barcode, DataMatrix, or RFID, and all subsequent movements of these materials and semi-finished goods within the factory are recorded. The system manages full batch genealogy: from a component batch number, it can retrieve all finished product batches produced with that component, and conversely, identify all raw materials used in a given finished lot. All production data is automatically collected and stored for future reference.
MapexTrace
The MapexTrace module is dedicated to end-to-end industrial traceability and is part of the Mapex MES suite, which provides unified management of production, quality, and maintenance.
Like the other traceability software mentioned in this article, MapexTrace enables full batch traceability across the entire production chain. The module ensures automated capture of traceability data by integrating with barcode readers, RFID terminals, and other sensors to record batch entries and track every internal movement.
MapexTrace also generates a detailed history of each production batch and can indicate the raw materials and tools used to manufacture it. All data is centralized in a single database, giving manufacturers complete visibility over material and product flows.
Aletiq
Aletiq is not strictly an industrial traceability software but a next-generation PLM solution that ensures full traceability of data and processes. Beyond technical documentation, the platform also tracks validation workflows, quality initiatives such as APQP, new product introduction (NPI), and change management via ECR. Intuitive and quick to deploy, Aletiq is designed for manufacturers across all sectors.
By centralizing all technical data (CAD files, instructions, production routings, etc.), Aletiq creates a single source of truth shared across all teams. The result: improved productivity and flawless data traceability.
The platform covers the entire product lifecycle: every change, version, and status is recorded. Digitalized processes ensure compliance with standards and eliminate errors. You benefit from a complete history of modifications to confidently meet industrial quality and traceability requirements.
