The key role of models in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) provides a new landscape for dealing with traceability. However, despite the certain maturity reached by some MDE tools, providing efficient views of traceability data is still in its early stages. To contribute in this direction, this work introduces the visualization mechanisms provided by iTrace, a framework for the management of trace...

Appropriate description and implementation of internal part traceability in manufacturing is a complex task. Accurate and real-time traceability from a part to a manufacture, storage, or transport issue is essential to efficient and high-quality operations. With the increasing amount of machine status and product quality information coming from the manufacturing lines, a question arises. When t...

This paper presents a LabVIEW application for real time data acquisition for all components of a production system, respecting traceability requirements for a modern digital manufacturing environment. The paper focus on a supply chain which has several sub processes and then we focus on the limitations and problems and introduce a traceability system by combination of horizontal and vertical tr...

Product traceability is a tool for realising specific goals, such as improved food safety or logisitic optimisation. FoodPrint, a methodological design framework for traceability systems, systematically defines the traceability objectives, and derives design objectives from collective goals of all relevant actors in a chain. During system analysis and design, areas of attention are Process, Inf...

Traceability is today considered an essential requirement for the food value chain due to the need to provide consumers with accurate information in the event of food safety recalls, to provide assurance with regard the source and production systems for food products and in certain countries to comply with government legislation. Within an individual business traceability can be quite simple to...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology promises to revolutionize various areas in supply chain. Recently, many researchers have investigated on how to improve the ability to track and trace a specific product along the supply chain in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency with the help of this technology. To enable traceability over the entire lifecycle a robust and seamless trac...

[Context and motivation] Safety critical software systems pervade almost every facet of our lives. We rely on them for safe air and automative travel, healthcare diagnosis and treatment, power generation and distribution, factory robotics, and advanced assistance systems for special-needs consumers. [Question/Problem] Delivering demonstrably safe systems is di cult, so certification and regulat...

Traceability relations support stakeholders in understanding the dependencies between artifacts created during the development of a software system and thus enable many development-related tasks. To ensure that the anticipated benefits of these tasks can be realized, it is necessary to have an up-to-date set of traceability relations between the established artifacts. This goal requires the cre...

There is a growing requirement for an internationally accepted system of recognition of measurement capabilities and relationships within and among countries, to facilitate seamless global commerce and trade. As a result, metrologists worldwide have recently developed increased interest in the concept and definition of traceability. Classically, traceability provides a way of relating the resul...

With the development of modern logistics industry, traceability logistics of tobacco issues have been taken by the people. However, the traditional way of using ordinary paper bar code to record the information of tobacco products have some shortcomings such as easy to wear, short life, the limitation of usable range. As it can’t achieve product traceability of all aspects. In this paper, using...
