Chain of custody
AROLINK® records everything that happens to a product, from receiving and weighing to processing, packing and shipping. Every time an item changes location or shape, it is assigned a new, unique ID. With AROLINK®‘s chain of custody, you can search both backwards and forwards in the product’s journey and get a complete overview of the entire process, step by step. This provides full transparency, fast troubleshooting and secure documentation.
Search Forward and Backward
Track every component, raw material, or batch throughout the entire production process—both backward and forward in the supply chain.
Clickable timeline
Explore every step of a product's journey through a visual, clickable hierarchy—from receipt to shipment.
Effective Troubleshooting
In the event of deviations, you can more easily identify which items are affected and avoid halting the entire production process.
Documentation in seconds
Everything is logged with the date, time, user, and process—ready for an audit or for the authorities.
High level of detail
Provides an overview down to the level of individual pallets, components, raw materials, and process steps, regardless of complexity.
Decisions Based on Real-Time Data
With a comprehensive overview of consumption, output, and flow, you’ll have a solid foundation for optimization.
Tracking points in AROLINK®
A traceability point is a record that a product is moved, consumed, added or processed. Each point becomes a link in a digital chain that makes it possible to:
-
Document every step of the process
-
Ensure correct consumption and tracking
-
Analyze flow, waste and yield
AROLINK® also supports all movements in production, e.g:
-
Goods receipt (from supplier to warehouse)
-
Warehouse relocation (between warehouses)
-
Process weigh-in (from warehouse to production)
-
Process weighing (from production to warehouse)
-
Shipping (from warehouse to customer)
“The Time Machine”
With AROLINK® you can dive into the chain of custody – a visual and clickable overview of a product’s entire lifecycle. You start with a Tracking ID and immediately get access to a full history:
- What raw materials, packaging or components were used
- What process steps and measurements it has been through
- What it has become and where it is going
- Who has completed the different tasks
It gives you deep traceability across production both backwards and forwards in time.
More benefits
Easier handling of productions
Easily manage different productions and document exactly what goes into each product.
Recall with precision
Identify exactly which products, lines and customers are affected
Consistency between data
Raw materials, measurements, operators and process parameters are automatically connected in one overview.
Fewer blind spots
Even with complex flows or partial recalls, you can zoom in on relevant parts and avoid unnecessary rejection.
Always updated – always available
The hierarchy is built on real-time data and does not require saving versions or updating manually
Reduce errors and rework
You can search any ID and navigate all the way up and down the chain.
