🔗 Plastics and rubber ERP · Batch and lot control

From resin lot to customer box, every link on record

Every lot of resin, masterbatch, additive and regrind is held until it passes, used first in first out, and scanned into the batch it goes into. Boxes and pallets carry the batch, so one search shows every product and customer a material lot reached.

Where-used search

One resin lot. Every box it reached.

The search types a supplier lot and the ERP lists every batch, box count and customer. In real use, it takes seconds. Example data.

Lot status

Nothing is used until it is released

New lots move from quarantine to testing, then released or rejected. Counts show today's lots in each state. Example plant.

Silos and FIFO

Oldest lot first, lot changes on record

Silo levels and lots update as material is delivered and used. The ERP records exactly when each silo moves to its next lot. Hover a silo for detail.

Lot label

The label carries the history

Every box label holds the batch and key material lots, with a code anyone can scan. Hover a field to see why it matters.

Each field links the box back to its materials and its shift.

FAQ

Batch and lot control questions

Answers for owners, QA heads and stores teams.

What is batch and lot control in plastics manufacturing?

It records which lots of resin, masterbatch, additives and regrind went into each production batch, and which boxes, pallets and customers received that batch. If a material lot is suspect, you can find every affected product at once.

What is the difference between a batch and a lot?

Usage varies, but typically a lot is a quantity of incoming material from a supplier, and a batch is a production run made from one or more lots. The ERP links them both ways.

How does quarantine work?

New material lots arrive on hold. They can only be used after QC checks pass, such as melt flow index, moisture or a supplier COA review. Failed lots are rejected or returned.

How are silos handled when lots mix?

Silo deliveries are recorded by lot and level. The ERP assumes first in, first out and records when the silo moves to the next lot, so batches made during the change link to both lots.

Can it limit regrind?

Yes. Each product can have a maximum regrind percentage. Regrind lots are tracked like any other material and the limit is checked when the batch is issued.

What goes on a lot label?

Usually the item, batch number, key material lots, quantity, date and shift, with a barcode or QR code. GS1 formats are supported for customers who need them.

How fast is a where-used search?

With scanning at each step, the list of batches, boxes and customers for any material lot is ready in seconds.

Does it help with ISO, IATF or medical audits?

Traceability records support ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and ISO 13485 requirements. Certification still depends on your full quality system.

How long does setup take?

About 5 weeks, ending with a mock trace on live data.
