Track Every Part, Lot, and Critical Process Parameter in One Searchable Record
Capture product and process traceability data across your operation so your team can find the full history of a part, lot, or batch in seconds instead of rebuilding it by hand.
10in6 connects serialized, unit, batch, and lot traceability with process variables, inspections, test results, and production context to give you a complete, searchable birth history.
Most manufacturers do not struggle because they have no traceability data.
They struggle because the data is scattered.
Part of the record is in one system. Test results are somewhere else. Raw material information lives in another log. Process data may exist, but not in a way that is easy to associate back to the finished part or batch. When a customer issue, audit, or recall question appears, the team is left piecing the story together from multiple places.
That slows down response, increases risk, and makes even good data harder to trust.
10in6 Track & Trace changes that by building a single searchable history of the product and the process behind it.
How 10in6 Track & Trace works
10in6 captures traceability data from the production environment and associates it with the identifier that matters to your operation.
Your operation may track material and product by any of the following:
- Serial numbers
- Unit identifiers
- Batch numbers
- Lot numbers
- Temporary identifiers later married to permanent ones
As the product moves through the plant, the system can associate that identifier with:
- Process variables
- Inspection data and test results
- Machine data
- Raw material lots and sub-lots
- Changeover and validation records
- Quality check results
The result is not just an isolated serial number search. It is a complete birth history tied to both product and process.
What you can trace
Product identifiers
Track by individual serial number, unit, batch, or lot depending on how your operation identifies material and finished goods.
Temporary to permanent identifier marriage
Maintain continuity even when an item starts with one identifier and receives a permanent identifier later in the process.
Raw material and component history
Associate finished parts or batches back to the raw material lots or sub-lots that fed them.
Critical process parameters
Capture and connect process characteristics such as temperature, pressure, torque, fixture state, and other variables that matter to product quality and compliance.
Inspection and test results
Pull quality checks, inspection outcomes, and product-specific test results into the same record so your team can see not only what was built, but how it performed against the required checks.
Operation-by-operation history
See the path a part or batch took through the plant and the production conditions recorded along the way.
Birth history that is actually useful
A traceability system is only valuable if your team can use it quickly. 10in6 includes a searchable birth history view — enter a serial number, batch, lot, or other identifying characteristic and retrieve the full production journey tied to that item.
That means your team can:
- Answer customer questions faster
- Support audits without manual reconstruction
- Isolate issues more accurately
- Investigate root cause with better evidence
- Avoid casting a wider net than necessary during recalls or containment
Reduce the scope of customer issues
When traceability is weak, one problem can turn into a very large search. When traceability is strong, your team can isolate affected material more precisely.
10in6 helps teams narrow customer issues by tracing parts back to shared characteristics such as shift, run, raw material batch, process flow, production conditions, and measured parameters. That makes it easier to identify what is actually affected instead of overreacting because the record is incomplete.
Traceability evidence ready when audits and investigations require it
Track & Trace is not only about where the product went. It is about whether the full process behind it can be proven — and retrieved quickly under pressure.
When a customer audit, recall, or investigation arrives, the team can search by serial number, lot, batch, or other identifier and retrieve:
- Birth history — machine, operator, timestamp, and production path
- Process variables and production conditions recorded at the time
- Raw material and component lot history
- Inspection results and quality check records tied to that product
Instead of chasing multiple systems, the team accesses the history in one place. That narrows the scope of issues, reduces unnecessary containment, and supports the compliance story the auditor needs to see.

Track & Trace questions
- What identifiers can 10in6 Track & Trace use?
- 10in6 can support serial numbers, unit identifiers, batch numbers, lot numbers, and other identifying characteristics depending on how the operation is configured.
- Can it track both product and process traceability?
- Yes. The system can connect product identifiers to process variables, inspection results, test outcomes, raw material lots, and other production records.
- What is a birth history search?
- A birth history search allows a user to enter a serial number, lot, batch, or other identifier and retrieve the full production journey associated with that item.
- Can we trace raw material lots into finished product?
- Yes. Raw material lots and sub-lots can be associated with finished parts or batches so the team can trace backward and forward more effectively.
- Can Track & Trace support temporary identifiers?
- Yes. It can support temporary identifiers and the later marriage of those identifiers to permanent ones.
- How does this help with recalls or customer issues?
- It helps narrow the scope of the issue by allowing teams to isolate material based on shared identifiers, lots, shifts, runs, process flow, or critical recorded parameters.
