Marking and Traceability
Full-cycle traceability implementation in manufacturing: application of identification means using various methods, verification, automatic rejection of products with incorrect codes, and unit-level and batch-level tracking of marked products from box to pallet.
The solution enables manufacturers to monitor and control production processes and perform tracking with high accuracy.
Track & Trace System
Turns each product unit into a digital object: each item receives a unique code, undergoes inspection on the production line, is linked to a case, pallet, and batch, and is tracked at every stage of movement — from production to warehouse, distributor, point of sale, and end customer. For the manufacturer, this is a tool for quality management, logistics, returns, claims handling, marketing, direct consumer communication, and compliance with Chestny Znak mandatory product marking requirements.
Internal traceability: in-plant control
Finished products can be linked to raw materials, components, semi-finished products, shift, line, and operator.
The system records date, time, production line, batch, process parameters, and control points.
When a defect is detected, a specific batch, case, or pallet can be quickly identified — avoiding a full-volume product recall.
The system stores events: code printing, camera inspection, automatic rejection, reprinting, aggregation, warehouse movement.
Internal traceability gives manufacturers:
- reduced losses from defects and mis-sorting;
- fast root cause analysis of defects;
- targeted product recall instead of mass recall;
- shift, line, and operator performance control;
- evidentiary basis for disputes with distributors and retail chains;
- warehouse and inventory transparency;
- improved production discipline.
External traceability: end-to-end supply chain control
External traceability shows product movement beyond the enterprise: from the manufacturer’s warehouse to the distributor, retail chain, marketplace, pharmacy, store, or end customer.
It enables you to:
- see where a specific batch has been shipped;
- track the product’s journey along the supply chain;
- combat gray imports, substitution, and counterfeiting;
- detect unauthorized sales;
- analyze demand geography;
- manage returns and claims;
- verify product authenticity for partners and consumers.
Under GS1 standards, traceability makes products visible across the supply chain and serves as the foundation for quality management, risk management, and other control systems.
From mandatory product marking to digital product management
Many enterprises implement marking solely as a mandatory requirement. But a properly built Track & Trace system can become a full-fledged digital product management platform.
It helps connect:
- the production line;
- the machine-vision system;
- warehouse management;
- ERP/MES/WMS;
- the Chestny Znak system;
- distributors and retail chains;
- support services;
- marketing and direct-to-consumer communication.
As a result, the manufacturer gains not just government reporting, but a complete digital history for each product unit.
Omnichannel communication with the end customer
The marking code can be used not only for traceability and compliance but also as an omnichannel communication channel with consumers.
After scanning the code, the customer can access a digital product page featuring:
- product authenticity verification;
- instructions for use;
- ingredients and specifications;
- expiration date;
- certificates and quality documents;
- usage recommendations;
- loyalty program;
- warranty registration;
- feedback submission;
- support requests;
- personalized offers;
- information about new products.
This turns packaging into a direct digital connection between the manufacturer and the end customer. The manufacturer gains the ability to better understand their audience, collect feedback, build brand trust, and drive repeat purchases.
