Manufacturing
Manufacturing travelers are important to the success of the shop floor. For medical device manufacturers, travelers become part of device history records (DHRs). For pharma manufacturers, they are included in batch records. They are used to track the status of operations in the manufacturing process. A production traveler must accurately capture and maintain all key data. Manual, paper-based document systems are slow and prone to error. Simplify through automation.
Manufacturing travelers are instructions that travel with a part as it is built. They are printed at the time of job release and travel with the job as it moves through the shop to different workstations. As each product step happens, the traveler tracks the status of operations and activities performed by workers. Examples of information included in the traveler are name, number and description.
To function properly, a paper traveler must be filled out correctly and maintained. An electronic shop floor management system ensures necessary information is always included.
