What is traceability? Why tracking is important in PCBA manufacturing, especially for medical devices and safety-critical applications.
What is Traceability?
Traceability is the complete tracking of all materials, processes and test results for every assembly manufactured.
Traceability enables tracking which components (including batches and suppliers), process parameters and test results belong to each individual assembly.
Process and Application
For regulated industries like medical devices, traceability is mandatory per ISO 13485. SMTEC ensures traceability through an integrated system linking material batches, manufacturing parameters and test results to each assembly.
