Barcode & RFID industrial manufacturing track & trace
Industrial track and trace solutions that work from receiving to final despatch. Barcode and RFID that identify parts, tools, WIP carriers and containers on busy shop floors, even in harsh, high-throughput industrial environments.
Industrial manufacturing track & trace at a glance
Who it’s for: Discrete and process manufacturers, OEMs, and industrial assembly operations.
What you get: Real-time identification of materials, WIP, finished goods, tools and containers, with a complete traceability and audit trail.
Outcomes: Fewer errors and rework, higher throughput, improved inventory accuracy, simpler quality reporting.
Typical deployment: Barcode and RFID labels or tags, fixed readers and handhelds, middleware, integration, installation and support.
Industrial manufacturing depends on accurate identification at speed. Coriel Solutions deploys barcode, RFID and middleware to connect parts, assemblies, tools and returnable containers to the systems that run your factory. The result is fewer errors, faster flows, higher-quality records, and real-time visibility across work in progress, stores, dispatch, and returns.
Key challenges for industrial manufacturing ...
Manual scanning gaps & data latency
Paper checks and inconsistent scanning create blind spots, especially around line-side replenishment, rework and transfers between cells.
Wrong part, wrong build, wrong label
Mis-picks, incorrect substitutions, and labelling errors cause scrap, rework, warranty claims and reputational risk.
Limited work in progress visibility
When WIP cannot be located quickly, teams lose time searching, queues build up, and bottlenecks go unmanaged.
Traceability and audit pressure
Customer, regulatory, and contractual requirements require full traceability, including lot, serial, operator, time, and process-step confirmation.
Harsh environments & mixed materials
Metal, liquids, heat, wash-down, vibration and dust can make identification difficult without the right tag, label, reader and software combination.
Make all your assets intelligent ...
corielTHINGS creates and manages GS1 and EPC-compliant barcodes, QR codes and RFID tags, giving each item a unique digital identity. That identity can link to work orders, drawings, SOPs, inspection results and maintenance history, so the right information is available to authorised users at the point of work, on any device.
- Track precise location across stores, production areas and multiple sites
- Link components to assemblies for full genealogy and traceability
- Manage quality checks, non-conformance and rework with a clear audit trail
- Control tool issue, calibration status and maintenance schedules
- Optimise WIP flow, asset utilisation and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
Assured quality, simple reporting ...
Accurate identification of materials, components and work in progress makes quality control and compliance far easier. Serial numbers, batch and lot data, revision levels, process steps and test results can be captured automatically using barcode and RFID at each station. Dashboards and exports support customer requirements, ISO audits and internal investigations without time-consuming manual collation or spreadsheet chasing.
- Complete, auditable trail of production steps, movements and consumption
- Live and historic WIP status, locations, work orders and responsible operators
- Proof of issue-to-line, assembly confirmation, packing and despatch
- Quality checks, non-conformance records, rework actions and test results
- Role-based access to work instructions, drawings, certifications and SOPs
Know where your WIP, parts and tools are ...
Once tagged, parts, WIP carriers, tools and returnable containers can be identified at speed using handhelds, workstations, forklift readers, portals and conveyors. Locations and status updates flow straight into your existing MES, ERP or WMS via our platform connector, giving production, quality and logistics teams one version of the truth across the factory and wider supply chain.
- Hands-free, operator-light identification at key control points
- Immediate updates to MES, ERP and WMS records
- Micro-location within a plant and macro-location across sites
- Exception alerts for misroutes, shortages, missing scans and delayed returns

Typical industrial manufacturing use cases ...
Work in progress visibility
Locate WIP quickly, reduce search time, identify bottlenecks, and keep production flowing between cells, lines and warehouses.
Component identification
Confirm correct part usage at build, reduce mis-assembly, and maintain reliable build records for high-value or safety-critical products.
Item-level traceability
Serialise items where it matters, link physical items to digital instructions, and support recalls, audits and downstream servicing.
Quality, safety and compliance
Capture who did what, when, and where. Store inspection results, checks, and process confirmations against the item, batch or order.
Line-side replenishment
Track consumption and replenishment triggers automatically to reduce stock-outs, excess buffer stock and manual counting.
Returnable container tracking
Track reusable assets across production and internal logistics to improve availability, reduce loss and prevent process disruption.
