Serial Number and Lot Tracking Software for Manufacturers
Track Materials From Receipt Through Production to Finished Goods
Know where materials came from, where they were used and what finished products they became.
MISys Serial/Lot Tracking gives manufacturers detailed traceability throughout purchasing, inventory and production. Track raw materials, components, subassemblies and finished goods by serial number or lot number and quickly follow their history when questions arise.
Whether you need traceability for quality control, customer requirements, audits or regulated manufacturing, MISys helps you maintain a clear record of material movement throughout the manufacturing process.
Trace it forward. Trace it backward. Know exactly what happened.
Complete Manufacturing Traceability
Serial and lot tracking should go far beyond putting a number on a finished product.
MISys tracks serialized and lot-controlled materials throughout purchasing, inventory and manufacturing so you can see the relationships between incoming materials, production activity, subassemblies and finished goods.
Trace Materials Back to Their Source
Identify the serial or lot numbers associated with materials received into inventory and maintain their history as they move through production.
See Where Materials Were Used
Identify the assembly, subassembly or manufacturing order in which a tracked component was consumed.
Trace Finished Goods to Their Components
Review the materials and tracked components used to manufacture a particular finished item.
Respond Faster When Something Goes Wrong
When a supplier reports a defective lot or a quality issue is discovered, finding affected material should not require hours of spreadsheets and paperwork.
MISys lets you investigate serial and lot history to identify affected inventory and determine where tracked material was used.
This detailed product genealogy can help manufacturers respond more quickly to quality problems, supplier issues, customer questions and potential recalls.
Designed for Manufacturers With Traceability Requirements
Serial and lot tracking is especially important in industries where manufacturers need to maintain detailed records of materials, components and finished goods.
- Food and beverage manufacturing
- Medical device manufacturing
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Aerospace and defense manufacturing
- Automotive manufacturing
- Electronics and other regulated manufacturing environments
Support Quality and Regulatory Traceability Requirements
MISys Serial/Lot Tracking helps manufacturers maintain the detailed material and production records often required by customers, quality programs and regulatory agencies.
These traceability capabilities can support manufacturing processes subject to requirements associated with organizations and standards such as:
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
- ISO quality management standards
Specific compliance requirements vary by industry and application. MISys provides manufacturing traceability tools that can form part of your organization's overall quality and compliance processes.

Know the History Behind Every Tracked Item
When someone asks about a particular serial number or lot, you should be able to answer without digging through paperwork.
MISys gives manufacturers the traceability needed to answer important questions:
Where did this material come from?
How much of this lot is still in inventory?
Which manufacturing orders used it?
Which finished products contain it?
What other inventory could be affected?
That visibility makes quality investigations, audits and everyday production management much easier.
