Batch Traceability System – Concrete Production
The Challenge:
A concrete manufacturer producing 500+ custom mix designs daily for infrastructure projects struggled with batch traceability and compliance documentation. Manual record-keeping resulted in incomplete records for 15% of batches, creating audit risks and customer disputes over specification compliance.
The Solution:
Developed Power Apps mobile solution for plant operators to record batch details, material sources, and test results in real-time. Power Automate generated compliance certificates automatically. Fabric stored complete batch genealogy with Power BI providing quality trend analysis across mix designs and material suppliers.
Result:
Batch documentation completeness achieved 99.8%, compliance certificate generation time reduced from 2 hours to 2 minutes, and customer disputes decreased by 92%. The system provided forensic traceability that resolved two major legal disputes, saving estimated $450K in liability costs.
