AIDC Solutions

From receiving raw materials to shipping finished goods – and all steps in between – Trace Automation helps manufacturing companies automatically identify and track inventory, assets, and manufacturing operations. Timely and accurate visibility to the location, condition and disposition of critical resources enables more efficient utilization.

We work with our customers to replace paper-based processes (which are labor intensive, error prone and time delayed) with automatic identification and data collection systems using barcode, direct part marking and RFID technologies.
