Management System
Assigned numerical sequences identify individual units or production lots as they move through the supply chain. Serialized batch tracking enables a mill to pinpoint the exact time and the specific machine for every reel of paper produced. This level of detail is necessary for quality control and for managing product recalls in the event of a manufacturing defect.
Tracking Logic
Digital labels or barcodes are applied to the core or the wrapping of each finished roll. As the product moves from the mill to the converter, serialized batch tracking records every change of ownership and location. The system links the serial number to the test results from the laboratory, such as the burst strength or the brightness levels.
This data allows the buyer to verify that the delivered goods meet the technical specifications agreed in the contract. If a printer finds a flaw, they can report the serial number to help the mill find other affected rolls in the same batch.
Recall Capability
Precision in identification limits the financial loss during a quality claim. Serialized batch tracking ensures that only the faulty units are returned instead of the entire shipment. The tracking history provides a complete view of the product life from the pulp gate to the customer warehouse.
