WIP from 65% to 99%+. OEE on the dashboard the CFO already reads.
TRACIO delivers production-grade RTLS and RAIN RFID programmes that close the gap between the ERP record and the shop-floor reality. RAIN RFID, UWB, ISA-95-aligned, integrated with the MES you already run.
What we keep seeing in Manufacturing programmes.
WIP accuracy at 60–70%
ERP says one thing, the line says another. Stock-outs at cells happen because the system doesn't believe what's in front of it.
Tool & torque untraceable
FOD events, missing critical-fasten records, audit failures. The torque tool was on the line — but no one logged which part.
OEE built on guesses
Availability and performance measured monthly, hand-aggregated. By the time the dip is visible, the quarter is over.
The use cases that consistently pay back.
WIP visibility
RAIN RFID at cells, dock doors, tool cribs. Item-level traceability with read accuracy verified to your environment.
Torque & tool control
UWB-tagged torque tools logging which part on which line. IATF 16949 audit-grade build genealogy.
OEE telemetry
Location events feeding into MES (SAP MII, Rockwell FactoryTalk, Siemens Opcenter) for real-time availability, performance, and quality.
Andon integration
RTLS-driven andon. Cell stops trigger location-correlated escalations to the right team in seconds.
Just-In-Sequence
JIS readiness with verified-sequence telemetry. Auto-alerts on sequence breaks before the line stops.
ISA-95 / Purdue alignment
Network architecture designed to the Purdue Model with proper OT/IT segmentation aligned to IEC 62443.

We’d tried WIP tracking twice and it never held. This time WIP accuracy settled at 99.2% and cycle time fell 17%, with payback in 14 months. The difference was insisting the pilot mirror full production load and wiring it into Siemens Opcenter from day one — so the MES did the work, not a spreadsheet.Operations Director · Tier-1 OEM supplier · DACHAnonymised at the client’s request.

Manufacturing — where the payback shows up.
Work-in-progress traceability
RAIN RFID at cells plus UWB tool control track WIP from station to station — inventory accuracy from ~65% to 99%+ with full ISO/IATF genealogy.
Tool & torque-tool control
UWB-tagged tools and torque verification prevent build errors and foreign-object debris; first-pass yield rises measurably.
Bottleneck & andon analytics
Zone-dwell analytics expose the real constraint on the line; rebalancing typically lifts OEE by 6 to 9 points.
