Consistent batch registration

A material batch refers to a defined quantity of a raw material or intermediate product that has been produced or delivered under identical conditions. In contrast, a product batch denotes a specific quantity of a finished product manufactured in a continuous production process. Both types of batches are clearly identified to ensure complete traceability of their origin and processing steps.

Batch recording plays a key role in manufacturing companies when it comes to quality assurance, traceability, and process optimization. With the ongoing progress of digitalization, precise and automated batch recording is becoming increasingly important. Modern technologies enable seamless documentation of all relevant information and offer numerous advantages for companies aiming to future-proof their production processes.

In detail, batch recording means the unique identification and documentation of material or product batches along the entire value chain. Each batch is assigned a unique, distinct number that contains information such as origin, production date, raw materials used, and process parameters. The digital capture of this data forms the basis for efficient and transparent production, as it enables complete traceability. Especially in regulated industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, or medical technology, this traceability is not only a competitive advantage but also a legal requirement. In the event of complaints or recalls, affected batches can be quickly identified and isolated, minimizing both economic and reputational damage.

Consistent and Digitial: Batch Traceability with tetys

Digitalizing your batch recording significantly increases efficiency. By using barcodes, RFID technology, or mobile devices, data is captured automatically and in real time. This greatly reduces the error rate of manual entries and accelerates workflows. The integration of batch recording into tetys-MES ensures that all relevant information is centrally available and can be evaluated at any time.

For example, if a supplier batch does not meet your standards and you need to locate the points in your process where the affected material or material batch was used, forward analysis from the point of goods receipt enables a focused search for the critical areas.

If one of your customers requires detailed information about a specific delivery of finished parts—such as when and where it was produced, and which production or material batches were involved—this can be easily traced using backward analysis from the goods outbound delivery and presented or communicated in the required level of detail.

Our tetys batch recording solution is precisely configurable (not programmed) to your individual process within the system. This significantly improves the planning and control of your supply chain through the exact documentation of batch information. In addition, you can optimize your inventory, minimize scrap, and manage material usage in a targeted manner. Most importantly, you will be well-prepared to meet growing regulatory requirements for a fully traceable supply chain. Tetys is already supporting several of your customers on their way to fulfilling the requirements of the digital product passport for their products. Take advantage of our expertise as well.

To successfully master the challenges of implementing digital batch recording solutions, we offer comprehensive support to interested companies. Our range of services includes both the provision of suitable software solutions and extensive consulting services—from analysis and process definition to system integration, employee training, and continuous optimization.
