Serial number management
Serial number management refers to the structured assignment, storage and maintenance of unique numbers for individual products, components or containers. It ensures that each unit remains clearly identifiable in the system and that its serial number is assigned correctly over time. These numbers are captured automatically, linked with process data and transferred into connected systems. This makes it possible to distinguish individual objects reliably, assign processing statuses clearly and narrow down affected units in a targeted way when deviations occur. Serial number management creates the basis for ensuring that workpieces, load carriers and products are managed clearly throughout the entire process.
