Batch

A batch is a related quantity that is handled as one unit within a process. The term is used when products or materials are identified and assigned collectively rather than individually. In the RFID and Auto-ID environment, a batch is given an identifier so that relevant information can be carried through the system. This makes it possible to see which units belong together and how they have moved through the process. It supports traceability when stock needs to be assigned reliably and deviations must be narrowed down in a targeted way. Clear batch assignment makes it easier to control related goods movements in production and logistics.
