Why untracked lots and manual registers risk factory recalls
Missing supplier lot records
Today
Lot numbers written on cartons or paper receiving logs get separated from warehouse bins, leaving stock without batch origin or supplier history.
With MG Factory
Receipts record supplier lot numbers and assign internal labels with expiry dates, keeping lot details tied to the warehouse location.
Unknown components in finished goods
Today
When an order is produced, nobody records which raw material or packaging lots went into the mixer or machine, making batch investigation guesswork.
With MG Factory
Production orders record the exact component lots consumed, linking every ingredient and packaging item to the finished batch number.
Expired raw materials on shelves
Today
Expiry dates written by hand on pallets are discovered only after materials spoil in the warehouse or reach the production floor.
With MG Factory
Stock views show expiry dates and lot numbers for every warehouse, with the materials near expiry visible before production begins.
Slow customer recall searches
Today
A customer complaint or quality defect requires days of searching paper delivery notes and invoices to find which clients received the affected lot.
With MG Factory
One search on a lot number reveals where it was delivered downstream, providing the complete customer and invoice list in minutes.

How it works
How lot traceability works in your factory
1
Receive and label incoming materials
Scan or enter supplier lot codes and expiry dates at receipt, and give each pallet its own internal lot number.
2
Issue component lots to production
Operators select and scan the specific raw material lots used on work orders, tracking scrap and consumption by lot.
3
Assign batch lots and run inspections
Generate finished lot or serial numbers for completed goods and record quality inspection checks before warehouse stocking.
4
Dispatch to customers with lot details
Pick and scan lot numbers onto customer delivery notes, so the full delivery record is there for any later question.
