Traceability Search Tool
An Excel-based system designed to connect serial numbers, batches, shipments, and components into a single searchable interface — reducing investigation time and improving production traceability.
Problem
Tracking devices, batches, and shipments across multiple Excel sheets was time-consuming and difficult to manage.
Information was spread across separate tables for pumps, dressings, foam, and shipments, making it hard to quickly answer traceability questions.
Solution
I built a centralized traceability tool in Excel that connects all relevant production and shipment data into a single search interface.
By entering a serial number, batch, or article, the system automatically identifies related data across pumps, dressings, foam, and shipments — presenting everything in one structured view.
Key Features
- Centralized search across multiple datasets
- Serial number and batch detection logic
- Automatic linking between pumps, dressings, and foam
- Shipment and customer traceability
- Summary view with detected data and key metrics
- Structured output for quick investigation
- Designed for real production workflows
