MPDV: Tracking & Tracing

Tracking & Tracing with HYDRA-TRT

Application & benefits
Complete documentation & traceability
Many companies are obliged to manufacture a product with proving liability across the whole process chain. This should guarantee traceability of end products or proof of liability for raw materials. International standards like the FDA regulation 21 CFR 11, GMP or EU norm 178 leave no room to maneuver, particularly for food producers and pharmaceutical companies. Producers of packaging material or suppliers of safety-related products like automotive supplies are also subject to strict regulations.
Your Benefits
Fulfillment of common regulations through complete documentation and traceability of all process steps
Minimizing efforts and cost savings through effective support for recalls
Guaranteed compliance with product safety and labeling requirements
Minimization of product liability claims through precise restriction of affected lots and batches
Tracking & Tracing with HYDRA TRT
HYDRA Tracking & Tracing (TRT) supports manufacturers to comply with these requirements by consequently tracing lots and batches and complete product documentation (Electronic Batch Record). The module also offers functions to monitor manufacturing processes up to process interlocking. Modern technologies (e. g. RFID, barcode) are used to identify material batches/lots/batches or serial numbers. Plausibility checks ensure that only approved materials are used. In case of a recall a possible damage is reduced to the minimum - bearing in mind consumer safety and economic efficiency.
Many business units across the enterprise can benefit from an MES system such as HYDRA. Our ROI Analyzer reveals the untapped potentials that are still hidden within your production processes and will show you how they can be assessed monetarily.
Highlights
Consistent collection and handling of batch and lot data
Apart from collecting process data and test results, a clear identification of raw materials, semi-finished products and additives is a vital requirement to make the production process transparent and to document it completely. HYDRA TRT offers numerous functions to help with this task:
Collection of batches, lots and serial numbers directly at the machine
Monitoring or testing of combinations (e. g. using tools, machines, material and orders) and process interlocking
General evaluation of batch and lot data spanning the complete value chain including graphic display (tree batch)
Mapping of single level, multilevel and linked processes
Creation of individual product certificates
Reliable long term archiving of all data
Additionally, HYDRA TRT can be closely integrated with other HYDRA applications as required.
Examples include:
Shop floor data collection
Quality management
Process data collection
Machine data collection
Tool & Resource Management
Personnel management
As with all HYDRA applications, we offer targeted training courses in order to make the implementation of the system as efficient as possible. In the training courses you will learn how to integrate your requirements into the system conveniently.
Functions
Traceability across the complete value added chain
Employees working in a modern production facility need a clear view on the production process and therefore require comprehensive information promptly (e. g. used material batches or lots). HYDRA TRT collects all relevant data for this purpose and uses it to generate versatile evaluations at the shop floor terminal and the HYDRA office client, e. g. in the supervisor's office. Obviously, data is also provided for other IT systems.
Complete documentation
HYDRA TRT collects all relevant data involved in production. This data is stored and archived according to customer-specific requirements. This means that data is available at any time for evaluations tailored to your needs.
Example functions
Collection of batch, lot and serial numbers directly at the machine or at the workplace
Documentation of historical status (e. g. to separate or merge components and componentgroups lead by serial number or change of components)
Linking of generated data with order, article, machine, process, tool and quality data
Legal protection of personal data of employees involved in the production process
Batch tracing
HYDRA TRT offers a wide range of possibilities to evaluate and display the recorded traceability data.
Example functions
Overview of all available lots/batches/components with serial number
Lot history with a chronological listing of all previous changes (e. g. status change, quantity adjustments) of a certain lot, batch or component with serial number
Graphical tracing of lots/batch trees
Traceability (forwards and backwards)
Meet requirements
With HYDRA TRT, you can implement your own specifications as well as those of external suppliers. Configurable rules support all employees involved in meeting all requirements.
Example functions
Guidance of operators through the production process using plausibility checks and control dialogs at the shop floor terminal
Configurable process interlocking
Supporting electronic scales for weighing components in batches
Functions to palletize batch managed products
Creation of individual product certificates based on MS Office templates
Creation and maintenance of Electronic Batch Records (EBR)
Logfile that records all changes of data and master data
Reliable long-term archiving of all data

Display of specific requirements
Because every production company has unique requirements, HYDRA TRT offers a large array of versatile configuration options, while the advantages of a standard software can still be maintained.
Further details
HYDRA TRT can be configured via extensive master data and flexible settings without having to intervene in programming:
Representation of hierarchical identification schemes (e. g. batch/lot/serial number)
Use of defined authorization concepts to map multilevel approval processes (e. g. operator - shift supervisor - foreman - plant manager) and dual control principle
Flexible interfaces for transferring batch/lot data to superior IT systems (e. g. ERP) running in parallel
HYDRA TRT offers modern development tools to the user for a more detailed individualization in the form of customer-specific functions, evaluations and reports.
Tracking & Tracing profits from many other MES applications
HYDRA TRT integrates seamlessly into the network of many production-related functions in order to obtain important actual data from production.
Further details
Integration into shop floor and machine data collection
Transfer of orderrelevant data with batch, lot and serial number
Transfer of master data and status messages of involved machines
Documentation of maintenance activities
Integration into quality management
Transfer of inspection results from inproduction inspection
Transfer of quality data from goods receipt and goods issue
Integration into tool and resource management
Transfer of data from used tools and devices
Documentation of maintenance activities
Integration into personnel management
Verification of authorization for defined operations
Transfer of personal master data of employees
Transfer of qualifications from personnel scheduling
