Thanks Jason! Production Health can provide the majority of this if so configured. Other product attributes may also be incorporated via other systems and platforms should they be available. It's also interesting to note that other ecosystems can be generated and analysed from like components of the thread - i.e. all products with materials sourced from supplier 3 or product X produced in June with from extruder D. The digital thread is not only valuable for compliance or cradle to grave/cradle tracking but also benchmarking all the product related touchpoints to reduce variation and improve service.
