Seminar:
Traceability in manufacturing

In medical device manufacturing, maintaining traceability and ensuring quality control are critical to delivering reliable and regulatory-compliant products.

This presentation explores how validated injection moulding processes, real-time monitoring with advanced sensors, and predictive techniques enable the production of high-precision plastic components for medical devices. Key aspects include embedding traceability through cavity-level identification, conducting in-line process control for dimensional and defect monitoring, and leveraging preventive quality measures to mitigate risks and ensure post-market reliability.

The talk will demonstrate how these methods minimize failures during assembly and create a robust foundation for manufacturing excellence.”

The digital product passport will be a key tool in EU’s ecodesign regulation, which introduces new and extensive requirements for documenting product sustainability. The aim of the digital product passport is to ensure transparency throughout the entire value chain. But who are responsible for providing the digital product passport, how can businesses begin to prepare, and which standards are being developed to support the process?

Join the session to learn more about what to expect from the digital product passport and how companies can take the first steps in preparing. The presentation will provide insights into the upcoming standards and how businesses can start getting ready for the new requirements.

Traceability at system level starts with the collection of accurate and assignable data. It continues with its transfer along the material flow and concludes with the handover to the corresponding server. Solutions for special cases and error management are required to ensure consistency.

To achieve this, it is essential to carefully consider the choice and number of sensors, the mechanical design and the selection of appropriate software mechanism.

At Baumann, we have successfully implemented this for various customers in different infrastructures and would like to give you an insight into this topic from the perspective of a special machine builder.

At Everllence, traceability is not just a compliance task or a factory-floor initiative—it is a strategic lever that safeguards our brand, ensures product integrity, and reinforces safety at sea.

This presentation explores why Everllence has chosen to implement component-level serialization across its global maritime operations—even in regions where regulatory frameworks are incomplete or absent. By looking into our current implementation program, we will uncover:

• WHY, Serialization and Traceability as a strategy?
• Global Value Chain implementation & Barriers of change
• When legal is lost at sea

Through a real-time case, you’ll be taken behind the curtain of strategy creation and execution. Serialization, as we’ll show, is more than a technical upgrade: it’s a foundation for leadership in quality, transparency, and maritime safety. But pioneering this path doesn’t come without friction. The barriers to change are real—from vendor alignment to data governance to limited regulatory support. And as an industry front-runner, Everllence bears the weight—and the responsibility—of going first.

In this presentation, Kamstrup shares insights from our ongoing journey to strengthen manufacturing traceability across a complex and evolving system landscape. We explore the challenges of aligning traceability efforts with diverse market, customer, and legal requirements, and the implications for data structures, process design and master data governance.

The session highlights our current-state mapping, including key technical and organizational requisites, and the role of digital tools. We also reflect on lessons learned and outline our path forward toward a more integrated and transparent traceability framework.

As part of its digitalization strategy, Terma has initiated a project aimed at enhancing production traceability and operational efficiency.

By implementing RFID technology, the company enables real-time tracking of components and materials throughout the production flow. In parallel, manual, hand-carried registration processes are being replaced with automated, forced registrations to reduce human error and streamline data collection.

This presentation outlines the project scope, the technology stack, and the anticipated benefits in terms of transparency, traceability, and productivity on the shop floor.

Implementation of an integrated Tool Management System in a high-variance production of mould components.

How we solved the management of the digital and physical flow of cutting tools from CAM to simulation to tool assembly to the machine.

What are the advantages we expect and experience in manufacturing, what are the challenges and what is the future vision of exploiting the traceability and data the system provides.
