Capture Manufacturing Intelligence and Product Genealogy to Improve Accuracy and Power Traceability Initiatives across the Global Enterprise

(click to enlarge)

Industry research suggests a key impediment to success with product traceability initiatives is the proliferation of multiple data repositories for manufacturing product genealogy, traceability and quality intelligence, resulting in poor data accuracy and untimely access to data. Apriso has overcome this challenge with a collaborative solution built on the FlexNet platform for global manufacturing operations management.

Apriso's Global Traceability and Containment solutions help manufacturers to ensure brand integrity by providing the necessary framework for collaboration and visibility in order to perform detailed quality investigations and root cause analysis. With a unified data model that captures and persists standardized data across production, quality, maintenance, inventory and along the supply chain, manufacturers can more effectively take corrective actions and perform continuous improvement that addresses both structured and unstructured quality activities and operations processes.

This platform-centric Apriso solution serves as a track and trace "hub" that spans the needs of manufacturers and supply chain partners. This highly flexible approach to global traceability and genealogy helps manufacturers to:

Improve collaboration – between manufacturers and trade partners to better coordinate corrective actions, reducing manual and time-consuming tasks prone to error
Centralize track and trace reporting – to provide better insight into product genealogy and packaging hierarchy at any time
Handle high volumes of traceability data – without impacting operational performance, as data is received from plants, suppliers and logistics providers
Capture detailed global traceability and genealogy data automatically – from multiple sources, to help reduce risk, protect brand equity and meet compliance objectives
Establish unique product identification schemes – that utilize existing RFID and barcode scanning technologies, leveraging these existing investments
Address the escalating challenge of counterfeit products – by providing readily available, detailed product pedigrees to demonstrate product authenticity

Apriso's global traceability solutions are available as industry-based solutions built upon best practices. As a result, these solutions offer more capabilities "out-of-the-box." The following industry-specific solutions are now available:
