Transparent Production Planning with the INDUTRAX PRODUCTTRACKER
The INDUTRAX PRODUCTTRACKER automatically tracks the movements, times, and dwell times of orders, semi-finished parts, and material flows across locations and processes — in real time, automatically, and with full traceability. This is exactly where the INDUTRAX PRODUCTTRACKER comes in: as the digital foundation for transparent, data-driven production planning and finely tuned material flow control.
Control Instead of Chaos:
When Material Flows Become Visible
In many companies, production processes are still largely carried out “by feel.” Materials move through the production halls, and orders disappear into a black hole once they’re handed off from planning to production — which leaves us with the following questions:
Where is each type of material right now? Where is a specific order, and what is its status? How is the process progressing?
Without complete transparency, uncertainties arise that directly impact efficiency, costs, and delivery dates. In addition, traditional planning tools often only map out part of the process. Instead of a comprehensive view of orders, work-in-progress, and material flows, there are isolated, siloed solutions. The result: Bottlenecks often don’t become apparent until they’re already affecting lead times, inventory levels, or the supply chain.
A lack of transparency in the material flow is not a minor issue — it is one of the most common causes of delays, scrap, and planning errors in manufacturing. We encounter these four problem areas time and again in practice:
No real-time overview
History records are missing
Errors Detected Too Late
Planning Without Facts
INDUTRAX PRODUCTTRACKER:
Real-time transparency for Shop Floor control
The INDUTRAX PRODUCTTRACKER provides exactly this level of visibility: It automatically tracks the movements, times, and dwell times of orders, semi-finished parts, and material flows — across locations and processes, seamlessly and without any manual effort. The result is not just another data source that needs to be maintained — but a dynamic foundation for data-driven control.
PRODUCTTRACKER is not production planning software — it is the data-providing layer that connects your existing PPS and ERP systems to reality. It captures what is actually happening and makes this information available automatically, in a structured and analyzable format.
Real-Time Transparency as the Key to Production Planning
PRODUCTTRACKER is an industrial application for tracking orders, material flows, and semi-finished parts — with automatic history tracking, real-time visualization, and proactive bottleneck detection. It connects the physical Shop Floor with your digital planning environment.
- WIP Tracking: Track work in progress inventory in real time – Boost efficiency, ensure traceability
- Real-time location tracking of orders, semi-finished parts, components, and finished parts
- Automatic bottleneck alerts for delays, unplanned dwellings, and deviations
- Complete, validated material flow histories as the basis for continuous improvement and lean management
- Mapping of Product Hierarchies, Order Lots, and Process Steps
- Inspection, approval, and lockout processes made visible and controllable via e-label Seamless integration with SAP, MES, or existing ERP systems
Where the PRODUCTTRACKER Makes a Real Difference
From contract manufacturing to high-variety series production — PRODUCTTRACKER adapts to your process landscape and adds value wherever material flows need to be transparent.
WIP Tracking & Process Monitoring
Track work in progress levels in real time, identify errors at their source, and respond immediately to discrepancies — before they escalate.
