COROL Progress: traceability and roll genealogy are becoming execution-grade
This update focuses on traceability functionality in COROL: maintaining roll identity continuity, improving movement visibility, and accelerating genealogy analysis for quality and planning investigations.
Why traceability has strategic value now
Industrial systems face rising pressure to reduce waste, increase reliability, and improve response time under volatility. With industry still representing a large share of global energy and emissions load (IEA), operational traceability directly supports both cost and sustainability performance.
Current capability progress
- Identity continuity: stronger persistence of roll identity through handling steps.
- Status visibility: clearer operational status tracking for floor and planning teams.
- Genealogy reconstruction: faster backward and forward trace for investigations.
Operational outcomes we target
- Less time spent reconciling roll history
- Faster isolation of affected production scope during quality events
- Higher confidence in allocation and replenishment decisions
Integration direction
COROL development keeps aligning traceability events with ERP-ready synchronization points. The objective is to keep operational detail where it is needed while ensuring enterprise-level data consistency for reporting and governance.
Next iteration focus
Upcoming improvements prioritize richer exception classification, stronger event auditability, and clearer cross-team workflows between receiving, planning, and production.
