Traceability & Genealogy
Track and analyze every stage of production, from raw materials to finished goods, to achieve complete traceability and quality assurance. With full visibility into materials, machines, and processes, teams can drive continuous improvement and make confident, data-backed decisions.
Part Tracking
Track parts through production using MITS Clients and Web UIs. Collect timestamps and production metrics throughout the processes and visualize a per-part production history.

Automatic Data Collection
MITS provides flexible interfaces for connecting to new or legacy systems. It can be configured to collect relevant production data manually or automatically from PLCs, test systems, vision systems, and other smart plant-floor devices.

Auto-collects from PLCs and smart devices
Material Genealogy & BOM Tracking
Track the complete ascending and descending genealogy of raw materials, components, and subassemblies throughout production. This enables forward traceability to identify all finished products containing a specific material batch, and backward traceability to trace a finished product back to its source materials. The system captures as-built vs. as-planned Bill of Materials (BOM) comparisons to ensure design accuracy and document any deviations during production.

Tracks as-built vs. as-planned BOMs
Quality and ERP Event Integration
Capture and link all quality-related data including inspection results, test parameters, nonconformances, and rework activities directly to specific workpieces. This creates a detailed audit trail that documents who performed what actions, when they occurred, and any corrective measures taken. The system automatically stores operator information, timestamps, and results throughout the production journey.

Serial Number & Lot Management
Track individual serial numbers and lot numbers in real-time for both serialized and unserialized parts. This granular tracking capability supports precise recall management and allows you to isolate affected products when quality issues arise.

Don't let data gaps undermine your operations
When quality issues arise or audits begin, incomplete traceability turns into costly delays and compliance risks. MITS eliminates these blind spots by capturing every detail of your production journey, giving you the confidence to respond quickly to recalls, pass audits with ease, and continuously improve your processes.
MITS can help set up quality gates ensuring valid data is captured before proceeding and working with what level of automation or manual processes you have in your facility. Long-term storage can be coordinated and facilitated based on your needs and production rates.
All traceability data is searchable for easy quarantining and tracking capabilities. Finding affected products whether on the plant floor or shipped to customers should be a quick and easy process to solve with MITS.
Your engineering team can utilize the MITS build history to associate work orders with warranty claims and field failure records from downstream systems. This enables engineering to identify common process conditions tied to specific failure modes and compare “good builds” vs. “failed builds” across time, shifts, equipment, or suppliers.
By correlating equipment and tooling usage with quality outcomes and performance data, MITS allows your team to identify recurring defects tied to specific machines, tools, or configuration. When an issue is identified, you now have the tools to determine the affected population of units and can quarantine or prioritize inspection of product builds on specific equipment or tooling.
For each serialized unit or batch, MITS collects process parameters, material genealogy, test results, and quality sign-offs. Your warranty teams will have the information required to verify whether the product was built within specification and released as conforming. When the data shows that the unit was produced correctly, attention can shift to operating environment, installation, or misuse with confidence.
