TrackIT. Real-time Manufacturing Execution.

InventiX-TrackIT is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) that turns your shop floor into a live, queryable signal. Every batch, operator, machine cycle, quality check and process parameter is captured in real time — replacing end-of-shift paperwork with instant, auditable production intelligence.

Overview

Why TrackIT exists.

In traditional factories, problems are discovered only after batch failure — when the cost is already incurred. TrackIT inverts this: deviations from recipe, cycle time, temperature or quality are flagged the moment they occur, so supervisors can act before a batch is lost.

Designed for rugged shopfloor reality, TrackIT runs on hardened Android handhelds and tablets that work with gloves, dust and weak networks. Operators scan and tap — they don't type — and every action is timestamped, attributed and saved.

The result is an unbroken digital thread from raw material to finished shipment: ready for LWG, ISO and buyer audits without the weeks of paperwork normally required.

The problem we solve

What breaks without TrackIT.

Issue · 01

Problems found too late

End-of-day reports surface losses only after the shift is over — when corrective action is impossible and the cost is already booked.

Issue · 02

Untraceable bad batches

When a quality issue surfaces, nobody can pinpoint the drum, operator, chemical lot or machine cycle responsible. Root cause is guesswork.

Issue · 03

Operator output is a guess

Without batch-level capture, bonus, training and line-balancing decisions are made on opinion — eroding morale and productivity.

Issue · 04

Manual recipe handling causes failures

Formula errors and chemical misdosage cause rework, downgrade and rejection — silently consuming margin on every drum cycle.

Issue · 05

No real-time WIP visibility

Management is always one step behind production reality. The plan and the floor drift apart by mid-shift.

Issue · 06

Audit prep takes weeks

LWG and ISO audits require manual compilation of paper records — risking certification and consuming senior management time.

End-to-end workflow

How TrackIT runs the process.

01

Job card issue

PlanIT releases work orders; TrackIT generates barcoded job cards routed to the right line, machine and operator.

02

Material issue capture

Material is issued against the job card via barcode scan. BOM-based limits prevent over-issue; exceptions require supervisor approval.

03

Process execution & monitoring

Operators log start, pause, end and parameters at each stage. IoT inputs (pH, temperature, RPM, cycle time) flow in automatically where instrumented.

04

Quality checkpoints

Stage-wise QC with defect tagging, photo capture and root-cause attribution to operator, machine, supplier or chemical lot.

05

Deviation alerts

Recipe, time and parameter deviations trigger instant supervisor alerts via app or SMS — corrective action happens during the batch, not after.

06

Closure & traceability

Job card closure writes a complete digital genealogy — material, operator, machine, parameters, QC — ready for buyer audit on demand.

Capabilities

What TrackIT delivers.

01

Rugged Android shopfloor apps

Handheld and tablet apps designed for dust, gloves and weak networks. Offline-first; syncs when connectivity returns.

02

End-to-end batch traceability

One-click history of any batch — from raw hide or fabric receipt to dispatch. LWG and ISO audit ready, on demand.

03

Live machine & line status

See which machine is running, idle or broken — with the reason and duration — across the entire factory in one view.

04

Operator output & efficiency

Per-operator output by shift, bundle or batch. Fair, transparent input for bonus, training and skill-development planning.

05

Recipe & chemical control

Digital, version-controlled recipes with auto-dosage calculation based on batch weight, thickness or area. Unauthorised changes are blocked.

06

Stage-wise QC

Configurable QC checkpoints at every process stage with defect catalogues, photo evidence and supplier/operator attribution.

07

Deviation & exception alerts

Real-time alerts on parameter, time or recipe deviation — pushed to supervisors and managers via app, SMS or email.

08

IoT & machine integration

Optional integration with drum controllers, sewing-line counters, lasting machines and finishing equipment for parameter auto-capture.

Feature deep-dive

Every detail, built in.

Floor capture

Barcode & QR scanning

Material, job card, operator, machine, location — every entity is barcoded and scanned, not typed.

Bundle & batch tracking

Apparel bundle-level capture; leather drum-batch capture; furniture component-level capture — model-aware out of the box.

Photo & voice evidence

Attach photos to QC events and voice notes to deviations — building a richer audit trail than paper ever could.

Quality & compliance

Defect catalogue

Configurable, hierarchical defect codes with severity and cost weighting.

Root-cause attribution

Every defect is automatically tied to operator, machine, supplier and chemical lot — making true RCA possible.

Audit-ready logs

LWG, ISO 9001 and buyer-specific audit packs generated on demand — no manual compilation.

Process intelligence

Live WIP dashboard

Real-time view of every batch and every stage, with ageing alerts on stuck WIP.

OEE & utilisation

Availability × Performance × Quality calculated per machine, per shift, per operator.

Cost per batch

Live computation of material, labour, chemical and machine cost per batch — replacing month-end guesswork.
