About

A global manufacturer of advanced materials and solutions, the client designs, produces and distributes products used across transportation, construction and industrial sectors. To support high-volume, high-variation production, they required a dedicated Product Traceability Software for Manufacturing that works offline and on Android devices to manage racks, batches and work-in-progress.

Business Challenges

Lack of rack-level visibility in an open warehouse made picking and procurement slow — a clear gap for any Product Traceability Software for Manufacturing.

Tracking movement of raw materials across project zones was manual, error-prone and hard to audit.

Static data and poor UI meant operators could not use mobile devices reliably; no offline sync made plant operations fragile.

Administrative overhead for plant user management and reporting was high, limiting production scalability.

Solution

As a mobile app development company with 19+ years of experience, we quickly understood the client’s needs and delivered an Android app integrated with NFC, RFID, and beacon technologies for real-time product traceability and tracking. The app monitored work-in-progress materials and their movement across project zones, while a web-based CMS empowered admins to manage plant users and data effortlessly. By converting static data into dynamic, enabling offline sync, and transforming the UI for better usability, we streamlined material tracking, improved plant efficiency, accelerated production, and reduced operational costs.

Android app for operators to scan racks and batches, enabling rack-based tracking across the plant.

Embedded NFC/RFID/beacon integration to capture real-time movement and automate location updates.

Web-based CMS for admins to manage users, plants and reporting.

Offline sync to ensure the Product Traceability Software for Manufacturing works in low-connectivity zones, converting static records into dynamic, auditable traces.

UI/UX refresh focused on usability for floor operators, speeding up scans and reducing mistakes.

Our Steps

Smart Tracking

Operators use the Android app to Scan racks and batches via NFC/RFID; this initial capture feeds the Product Traceability Software for Manufacturing with accurate, timestamped inventory locations.

Dynamic Management

Converted static data to dynamic for easier plant control. App Syncs data to the web CMS (and supports offline sync when connectivity is poor), ensuring the Product Traceability Software for Manufacturing maintains a single source of truth across plant zones.

Offline Access

Enabled remote tracking and syncing during offline conditions. Managers Act on insights from the Product Traceability Software for Manufacturing: reroute batches, prioritize production queues, and reduce procurement lead time based on real-time visibility.

Outcome

Faster production: the Product Traceability Software for Manufacturing reduced delays by enabling quicker batch procurement and handoffs.

Cost efficiency: operational overhead dropped as manual reconciliation and error rates decreased.

Real-time visibility: plant managers gained live insight into WIP and material movement, improving scheduling and throughput.

Better auditability: automated trace logs from NFC/RFID/beacons made compliance and batch tracing straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do manufacturers track raw materials across large open warehouses using mobile apps?

By combining Android apps with NFC, RFID, and beacon scanning — giving operators rack-level tracking with offline sync. One global manufacturer achieved 80% rack-level accuracy and 40% faster picking.

What is NFC and RFID-based product traceability for manufacturing plants?

Embedded tags on racks and batches that transmit location and identity to Android apps — enabling automated movement tracking without manual barcode scanning or paper logs.

How do you build offline-capable traceability apps for factory floors with poor connectivity?

With offline-first Android apps that cache scan data locally and sync to the central CMS when connectivity is restored — ensuring zero data loss even in RF-shielded production zones.

What technology stack powers manufacturing traceability apps at enterprise scale?

Kotlin for Android, Angular web portal for admin, .NET Core APIs, Azure cloud, NFC/RFID/beacon integration — handling 1 lakh+ product varieties as deployed for the Saint-Gobain manufacturing plant.
