Traceability

Full traceability per manufactured unit

Why a custom MES?

CargoBeacon manufactures EverTag products in-house. Standard systems lacked the traceability level we needed — every component, every solder joint, every test result should be traceable back to specific batch, operator, and timestamp.

Production Monitoring

Real-time dashboard

KPIs for production, quality, and delivery precision in real-time.

Tag programming

Programming and tracking of every EverTag through the entire production flow.

Manufacturing orders

Start/stop operations with automatic time logging and status tracking.

ERP sync

Background sync with Monitor ERP every 5 minutes — always current data.

Tag Traceability

Complete timeline for every manufactured product — from programming to packing, RMA, and NFC scans.

Search by serial number, part number, or order number
Programming, packing, RMA, and NFC scan events
Expandable JSON event data per entry
Full audit trail with operator and timestamp

Tag Packing System

Customer order management with packing sessions
Hierarchy: small box → large box → pallet
Tracking of each tag placement in packaging
Progress monitoring and CSV export

BI Dashboards

Four dedicated dashboards with data directly from Monitor ERP — no manual reports.

Sales

Revenue per month, customer, country, and part. Invoice status, margins, and price analysis.

Suppliers

Spend per supplier, country, and category. Trend lines and top suppliers with dual Y-axis.

Stock

Consumption rate, stock turnover, safety stock, and inventory value over time.

Manufacturing Orders

Reported vs planned time, efficiency per work center, variance analysis.

Time Reporting

Operators log time against projects and manufacturing orders
PDF export and Visma XML export for payroll
Role-based access — operators see own data, admins see all
Automatic calculation of piece time and efficiency

Problem Solving (Quality Tools)

8D Methodology

Full 8-discipline problem resolution with team assignment, root cause analysis, and verification.

5-Why Analysis

Step-by-step root cause analysis by asking "why" until the root cause is found.

Ishikawa Diagrams

Fishbone cause-and-effect analysis with categorized contributing factors.

Tracking & History

Problem tracking, assignment, status management, and full change history.

Work Instructions

Create and manage work instructions per part and operation. Image uploads, operator input recording, and publish/draft workflow ensure the right instruction is always available at the machine.

NFC Station

NFC Station

Dedicated NFC station for the production line. Scans, programs, and verifies EverTag devices using ACR1552 reader.

Power control — toggle tag on/off with verification
Battery monitoring with low-battery warnings
Append-only event log for manufacturing compliance
Tag registry with latest state tracking
Touch-optimized operator interface
