Factory Inventory Traceability
Case Study: Leading Textile Exporter
🏭
Client Overview
One of South India's largest textile exporters, operating multiple high-throughput production lines with a focus on international quality and timely delivery.
🎯
Challenge
The client faced difficulty in:
- Operator Tracking: Unable to track which operator worked on which textile part
- Lifecycle Tracing: No visibility into textile components across machines and shifts
- Performance Monitoring: Lack of operator efficiency and machine utilization data
- Accountability: Missing transparency across production stages
💡
Solution by RNDSquare
We developed a QR Code-based tracking system with a custom Wi-Fi enabled hardware module featuring:
- Local Memory: Offline operation capability for uninterrupted tracking
- Factory-Floor Deployment: Seamless integration with existing workflows
- QR Code Stations: Operator-specific and part-specific scanning stations
