Traceability of Components and Materials
Ensuring traceability is an important part of all manufacturing processes. Traceability begins in the manufacturing phase and continues to follow the product all the way to the end customer. All materials Mapromec processes have heat numbers. We add our own data matrix codes and stamps, which include the batch number, the heat number, the drawing number, year of manufacture, and other possible information according to the customer´s requirements. The data is transferred to our electronic database from which it is possible to monitor traceability.
Traceability is a significant part of quality assurance. If an issue is detected in the end product, we are able to trace the component or material in question based on the stamps. The products to be investigated can therefore be narrowed down. In such cases, we are able to quickly withdraw and separate the material to be investigated from manufacturing.
