Precision in Production: How Stage-wise Barcoding Transforms Sheet Metal Manufacturing -Stage-wise Barcode Tracking Auto Components
In the Auto Component and Sheet Metal industry, tracking a single part through multiple processes (Blanking, Bending, Welding, Machining, and Powder Coating) is a massive challenge. Without a digital system, WIP (Work-in-Progress) inventory gets lost, and batch traceability becomes impossible.
Finsys ERP provides a specialized Stage-wise Barcode Tracking module. This system ensures that every bin of material is scanned as it moves from one department to another, creating a digital “paper trail” of the entire production lifecycle.

Manual production tracking often leads to:
Identification Errors: Mixing up similar-looking parts from different batches.
WIP Mismatches: Not knowing how many semi-finished parts are sitting between the Press Shop and the Welding line.
Traceability Failure: Inability to track a finished component back to the specific raw material heat number if a quality issue arises.
The video demonstrates the flow of a “System-Dependent” shop floor:
As soon as the raw material sheet is cut, a process-specific barcode is generated for the bin. This link ensures the mother coil’s heat number is attached to the blanks.
When a bin moves from the Press Shop to the Machining Section, the supervisor scans the barcode. The system instantly records:
Who performed the operation?
On which machine?
What was the wastage/scrap generated?
As the part reaches the Final Inspection and Packing stage, the barcode tells the history of its entire journey. The ERP automatically updates the inventory of the finished good and reduces the WIP stock of the previous stage.
