Introduction to Track & Trace
Manufacturers use tracking and tracing to obtain and record highly important information about where and how products are made. Our Track & Trace Module automates this process, enabling manufacturers to swiftly tackle increasing economic and regulatory challenges..
This paperless and fully integrated solution allows you to:
- Track products from the raw materials to the finished state, including consumables and byproducts
- Access Genealogy data
- Set up unified operator interfaces including SCADA, HMI, other MES, and more
- Serialization of items and sub-assemblies
Contextualize all relevant data with Track & Trace.

The Sepasoft® Track & Trace Module is unlike any other traceability application on the market. Added to the Ignition® platform, it brings full visibility into where any product has been during the manufacturing process as well as where it is now.
Our Track & Trace software fits into the Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) / Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) layer that resides between the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) layer and the plant floor.
Connect with Production Data
The Track & Trace Module does more than track products through the manufacturing process —it pulls together production information from various sources including:
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
- Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- Recipe
- Historical trends
- And more
Our module can also be used to query data from ERP systems. The Sepasoft® Track & Trace Module provides navigation and linking of internal and external data together in an easily understandable visual display. Furthermore, it allows any enterprise to standardize its system across multiple facilities.
Visual Trace Graph
With our Track & Trace Module, you can search for product information through a unique and easy-to-navigate Trace Graph display. The Trace Graph displays your search results in a visual format with the raw materials on the left, the manufacturing procedures in the middle, and the finished products on the right. The Trace Graph allows you to see all of the processes, runs, lots, and routes each product passed through. All of this information is organized chronologically and displayed in one place, making it simple to find the exact information you need.
Our Track & Trace Module places everything you need at your fingertips, bringing together OEE, SPC, ERP, recipe, trends, and more information. The breadth of valuable data gives you more insights to make better decisions.
- Quickly get action summaries
- View trends within Sepasoft® MES and query external systems such as ERPs or warehouse management systems
- See correlations between efficiency and quality
- Keep an eye on historical trends and access information related to compliance
- And more
Track & Trace allows manufacturers to transition away from the outdated practice of recording traceability information on paper. Instead, you can keep information alongside the rest of your system data on a unified platform where it is easy to analyze and retrieve. In addition to manually entered tracking, automated tracking helps to greatly increase accuracy, speed, and efficiency.
Certain industries are facing an increased regulatory demand for traceability information. For instance, in the United States, the Food Safety Modernization Act and the Drug Quality and Security Act are establishing new national standards for food and drug traceability. The Track & Trace Module helps enterprises track their products through the supply chain and avoid fines by providing quick access to traceability information requested by government authorities.
The Track & Trace Module is built to align with ISA-95, the international model for integrating enterprise and control systems. ISA-95 provides an excellent starting point for successfully implementing interfaces between enterprise and control systems.
Traceability software is essential, and the Sepasoft® Track & Trace Module offers a simple-to-use, flexible, powerful, affordable, and complete solution for your enterprise.
