RICOS TRACE INDUSTRIAL TRACEABILITY PLATFORM

An end-to-end identity and traceability platform for manufacturing and supply chains.

RICOS TRACE uses product identity as the data backbone to connect shop-floor capture, packaging aggregation, labeling, controlled rework, shipment loading and trace history. One platform spans edge execution, standardized workstations and centralized SaaS management.

Platform architecture

Connect edge execution, standardized workstations and centralized management in one traceability architecture.

The platform coordinates shop-floor execution, standardized workstations and centralized management around the same identity, relationship and event model.

01EDGE EXECUTION

Professional Line · Edge Execution

Local production execution for code capture, validation, packaging aggregation, label printing, rework, loading and trace history, with direct equipment integration.

Offline-firstDevice integrationProduction consistency
02WORKSTATION

Integrated Workstation

A standardized workstation form that packages industrial computing, reading, printing, signaling and local execution into a repeatable deployment unit.

Standard hardware profileRepeatable deploymentMulti-device coordination
03SAAS MANAGEMENT

SaaS Management Plane

Centralized organization, user, project and site management, providing a management plane above distributed edge execution without turning high-frequency production into a cloud dependency.

Edge execution · Professional Line

Professional Line delivers the shop-floor execution layer of the RICOS TRACE platform.

It keeps high-frequency production operations and equipment interaction local while continuously contributing identity, packaging, rework and shipment facts to the platform trace model.

Traceability event chain

Use product identity and business events to connect production packaging with logistics execution.

Each operational step contributes validated relationships or business events to the trace history, so the final result reflects what actually happened on the shop floor.

01

Configure

Define customer, specification, production recipe, packaging levels and identity sources.

02

Capture

Acquire real product identities from fixed readers, batch vision or HID scanners.

03

Aggregate

Create validated parent-child packaging relationships according to the active production model.

04

Identify

Apply generated or customer-provided packaging identities and print labels when required.

05

Correct

Perform controlled packaging corrections while preserving hierarchy, capacity and dispatch constraints.

06

Dispatch

Record actual transport loading and shipment closure as separate logistics facts.

07

Trace

Query identities, review historical facts and export actual packaging and shipment results.

Core capabilities

Built around trace models, field execution and business consistency.

The platform is designed to keep identity, relationship and event semantics stable while deployment forms and connected systems evolve.

CFG

Configurable production model

Represent customer, specification, quantity, packaging hierarchy and identity-source differences through configuration rather than fixed process code.

IO

Multi-source acquisition

Normalize fixed readers, batch vision and HID scanning into one validation and execution path.

REL

Generic packaging relationships

Build adjacent packaging relationships across arbitrary configured levels without hard-coded box/pallet/container semantics.

ID

Identity & label management

Support generated identities, customer-provided identifiers, SSCC scenarios and controlled label output.

CTL

Controlled correction

Rework changes packaging facts through explicit operations while retaining validation, audit and downstream constraints.

EVT

Shipment & trace events

Preserve actual loading, shipment and historical facts so trace queries and exports reflect operational reality.

Professional Line · Field execution

Professional Line provides the platform’s complete field execution capability.

Production, packaging, rework, dispatch and traceability run through the same execution model and integrate naturally with workstation and SaaS management capabilities.

History and actual result export

Traceability data model

Packaging hierarchy is a configurable relationship model; transport loading is a separate business fact.

This separation allows packaging structures to evolve by customer and specification while shipment records remain operationally accurate and independently traceable.

Product identity→L1→L2→L3→… Shipment event Packaging relationships describe containment; shipment events describe actual logistics execution.
Platform products

One platform, three coordinated product layers.

Choose the combination of edge execution, integrated workstations and SaaS management that matches the deployment scale and operating model.

WORKSTATION

RICOS TRACE Workstation

A standardized integrated workstation for repeatable industrial deployment, combining computing, reading, printing and local execution.

  • Standardized hardware profile
  • Preconfigured device interfaces
  • Repeatable station deployment
  • Unified operations baseline
SAAS MANAGEMENT

RICOS TRACE SaaS

A centralized management plane for organizations, users, projects and sites above distributed edge execution.

  • Organization & user management
  • Project & site management
  • Centralized configuration and operations
  • Multi-site management foundation
Lightweight verification remains available. For scenarios that only require batch checking, duplicate detection and result export, RICOS TRACE Verification can be deployed independently without introducing the full production execution scope.
Architecture consultation

Discuss your traceability architecture, field boundary and system integration.

Share your packaging hierarchy, identity rules, equipment interfaces, number of production sites and existing systems. We will define the boundary between edge execution, workstation standardization and centralized management.
