Traceability in AROLINK®
With AROLINK® you get comprehensive traceability: From goods receipt to factory floor, warehouse and shipping, we collect data that gives you precise information about the journey of materials and products through the value chain.
AROLINK® can identify which specific raw materials are used in each production, which pallets the finished products are placed on and which customers have received them. The system can also trace a finished product back to the raw materials used and document all processes the product has gone through.
Traceability and detailed history
AROLINK® provides a complete and detailed history for each item. This ensures that you can track exactly which raw materials, intermediate goods and finished goods have been affected in production at any time.
Effective troubleshooting
In case of deviations, AROLINK® enables quick identification of all affected goods so you can effectively quarantine them and prevent further processing or shipment of affected goods.
Detailed recall
In the event of a recall, AROLINK® can quickly identify affected products and customers so that only the necessary items are recalled.
Why traceability in AROLINK®?
Many manufacturing companies struggle with data scattered across separate systems, which undermines traceability.
AROLINK® collects and correlates data from across the entire factory—from receiving, processing, warehousing, and shipping—providing the factory with a comprehensive and accurate trail of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods throughout the entire value chain. You can see where materials come from, what stages they have gone through, and where they end up. This makes it easier to identify causes, correct errors, and carry out recalls quickly and safely.

Five benefits of traceability in AROLINK®
There are high demands on the traceability of manufacturing companies – both from authorities and consumers. At the same time, the complexity of production is growing. Most production is non-linear, with raw materials and materials going through various transformations to become finished products.
These processes typically include raw material reception, processing, component assembly, quality control, packaging and finally distribution to customers. The non-linear nature of production means that each step is dependent on others, requiring careful coordination and management to maintain efficiency, quality and traceability. This could be, for example, when by-products from one production are used in the manufacture of another product.
To ensure success in complex production, it is crucial to handle data in a coherent way. Consistent and related data plays a key role in following each raw material’s journey through the production process, including traceability of raw material suppliers, production batches, process parameters, quality inspections and delivery information.
With data in AROLINK®, you ensure I:
- Improved quality control: AROLINK® ensures that production processes comply with strict quality standards. Companies can identify and resolve potential issues quickly before they affect product quality.
- Resource efficiency: By tracking resource consumption throughout the production chain, companies can optimize the use of materials and energy. This leads to reduced costs and more sustainable production methods.
- Accurate documentation and regulatory compliance: AROLINK® provides comprehensive documentation of each production process, which is essential for meeting regulatory requirements and standards. Companies can easily provide necessary information during audits.
- Fast response to changes and errors: With real-time data and historical traceability information, businesses can quickly identify and isolate faulty batches or products. This minimizes the time and cost of any recalls or bug fixes.
- Precise material handling: AROLINK® ensures that all incoming materials and resources are accurately registered and used in production. This reduces waste and ensures efficient use of resources.
