Forward Traceability
Start from any raw material lot or GRN. Trace every production batch it contributed to, identify every finished goods lot and dispatch note, and reach every customer who received that material.
Module 14 · Analytics
When a customer returns a part, can you trace it back to the supplier lot in seconds?
The cross-module customizable traceability and genealogy layer for Zometric. Connect every material, machine, operator and quality event into one unbroken thread — from supplier to customer. Available as a separately licensed intelligence layer, while individual modules include their respective traceability.
What it does
Zometric Thread — what you actually get.
Six capabilities, each tied to a decision your team is already trying to make.
Backward Traceability
Start from any finished product or field complaint. Trace back to every raw material lot consumed, identify the machines, shifts and operators involved, and pull every inspection result linked to that batch.
Material Genealogy
Complete family tree for any production batch. Multi-level BOM consumed quantities per lot. Sub-lot and split-lot genealogy supported, with exportable genealogy reports for audits.
Cross-Module Intelligence
Weaves data from Inventory, Production and Quality. Links Maintenance events to affected batches, connects Gauge calibration records to measurements — one unified event stream across all modules.
Regulatory Compliance
IATF 16949 traceability requirements met. 21 CFR Part 11 ready — audit trail on every thread. FDA, EU MDR and ISO 13485 genealogy reports. One-click compliance export for any batch or lot.
External System Integration
Connects to SAP, Oracle and third-party MES. Works with non-Zometric systems via API, ingests ERP serial and lot numbers. No rip-and-replace — augments your existing stack.
Event-Driven Architecture
Real-time thread updates as events occur. Structured event schema across all modules. Subscribe to events by module, plant or item type. Immutable event log — no retroactive edits.
Separately Licensed Layer
Independently deployable — no module coupling. The more modules you have, the more Thread reveals. Works across Zometric and non-Zometric systems. Premium tier — priced on connected modules.
Pull Any Thread. Trace Everything.
"Which supplier lot caused this customer return?" "Which customers received products from Batch X?" "What was the full history of Serial No. SN-2024-449?" Answer in seconds — not weeks of manual digging.
