From Production Floor to Dispatch: Real-Time Tracking for Textile Units

Paper-based tracking causes lost shipments and billing disputes. Digital tracking systems provide real-time visibility from weaving to delivery.

The Problem

Paper challans get lost, damaged, or have illegible handwriting
No real-time visibility into order status for production planners or customers
Billing disputes due to discrepancies between dispatch records and receipts
Difficult to trace fabric rolls back to specific looms when quality issues arise
Manual data entry errors compound across the production chain

Hidden Costs

Staff time spent reconciling paper records and resolving disputes
Customer relationship damage from inability to provide accurate ETAs
Lost or misdirected shipments that require re-production
Inventory write-offs from untraceable goods
Compliance issues with export documentation requirements

Modern Approach

Barcode/RFID tagging at weaving creates digital identity for each roll
Mobile apps let floor staff scan and update status in seconds
Real-time dashboards show production progress and shipment locations
Automated invoicing based on confirmed dispatches
Full traceability from raw yarn to final delivery

Implementation Details

Technical approach, timelines, and expected outcomes

What We Build

Barcode/RFID scanning at each production stage. A tracking dashboard showing where every roll and batch is right now. Automated dispatch documentation and delivery confirmations.

The system records timestamps at weaving, dyeing, finishing, quality check, packing, and dispatch. You can trace any roll back through its entire journey.

How It Works

Workers scan items at each handoff point. The system updates status automatically. When buyers ask about their order, you pull up exact location in seconds. Dispatch generates packing lists and delivery notes automatically.

Who This Is For

Mills handling 50+ orders per month with multiple production stages. If you're losing time to order status calls or missing dispatch deadlines because you can't find goods, this system solves that.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does production tracking work in textile mills?

Each roll or batch gets a barcode/RFID tag at weaving. Workers scan items at each production stage - dyeing, finishing, quality check, packing, dispatch. The system updates location and status in real-time on a central dashboard.

What is the difference between barcode and RFID tracking?

Barcodes require line-of-sight scanning and work well for checkpoint tracking. RFID can scan multiple items simultaneously without direct sight, ideal for bulk movements. Most mills start with barcodes and add RFID for high-volume areas.

How does digital dispatch management reduce errors?

Automated systems generate packing lists and delivery notes from scanned data - no manual data entry means no transcription errors. Delivery confirmation happens via mobile app, creating instant proof of receipt.

Can production tracking integrate with existing ERP?

Yes. Modern tracking systems integrate with common textile ERPs through APIs. Data flows automatically for inventory updates, invoicing, and production planning without duplicate entry.

How long does it take to implement production tracking?

Basic barcode tracking can be operational in 4-6 weeks. Start with one production line, train staff, then expand. Full mill coverage typically takes 2-3 months.

Digitize your dispatch process in weeks, not months. Start with one production line and scale from there.
