Genealogy software module is capable of tracking, tracing and controlling printed circuit boards throughout assembly to the finished product. Captures the identity of each individual PCBA, subassembly or other item, and links information directly to the serial number of the finished product. Enables drill-down to multiple levels of subassembly, identifying which component lot numbers were used to build a specific PCBA in a specific product serial number. Traceability database is backwards-searchable to identify which product serial numbers were built using a specific component lot number. Permits multi-level box build traceability and improves inventory control with real-time visibility of all materials in process (WIP). Is said to reduce manufacturing, warranty and customer service costs, and improve product quality with automated quality control.
