Make manufacturing transparent, controllable, and provable

OEM audits require unit-level traceability, but batch records were split between paper travellers and team spreadsheets — a single quality enquiry took two hours to scope. First-off, patrol and 4M-change inspections travelled on paper and were easily missed; line-feeding checks and FIFO relied on human vigilance, so misbuilds were caught only after the fact.

SMT, DIP, assembly, burn-in and packing ran in separate shops, each with its own barcode rules. A finished unit could be traced to a batch at best — not to a specific board, machine or commissioning run. Equipment brands and protocols were mixed, and commissioning data was copied by hand, losing accuracy at the moment of transcription.
