Mechanical & Plastic Subcontracting: Your Foreign Buyers Demand Batch Traceability. We Extract It from Your ERP.
European industrial OEMs are cascading digital traceability mandates down to their Tier-2 and Tier-3 suppliers. If you produce machined parts or molded components, buyers will require digital batch passports: Adelant's connector generates them automatically from your existing production orders.
Review of production order logs and inspection records against European buyer specifications.
The buyer demands digital batch passports. Your data exists, but is trapped in your shop ERP.
Precision job shops know the full pedigree of every batch: bar stock melt, resin lot certificate, heat treatment recipe, dimensional inspection. The issue is that this information is formatted for internal shop floor use, not structured for automated transmission to external buyer systems.
Threat of vendor disqualification over missing traceability
Foreign buyers enforce strict vendor compliance scorecards. You will not lose contracts because parts are out of tolerance, but because you cannot deliver digital compliance records linked to their procurement systems.
Hours lost manually compiling certificates per shipment
With every delivery, quality managers must dig up raw material delivery notes, heat treat furnace charts, and inspection reports, pasting data into fragmented customer portals.
Shop management software that cannot connect outside
Standard job shop ERPs handle scheduling and delivery notes well, but lack modern APIs to publish structured data to European registries or buyer EDI networks.
Exorbitant fees for generic consulting platforms
Advisors push generic cloud portals charging heavy subscriptions while demanding manual data re-entry: a fixed tax eating into tight subcontracting margins.
Batch Traceability Connector for Job Shops
From production order to compliant dispatch code. Zero manual re-entry.
We engineer an autonomous software connector that hooks into your shop software, extracts machining and quality inspection parameters in read-only mode, and publishes compliant batch records.
Read-only ingestion of shop order parameters
The software automatically reads raw material batch numbers (bar or resin pellet), machine routing stamps, external treatments, and dimensional check logs.
Generation of standard compliance profiles
Technical parameters are transformed into the standardized European data model, validating material origin, process repeatability, and quality sign-offs.
QR code delivery on shipping notes and pallet labels
Upon shipping document creation, the unique code is generated: the customer scans it to ingest verified batch records directly into their ERP.
Why precision job shops and molders choose Adelant
Margins and subcontractor networks remain protected
Your system publishes only agreed technical and process parameters. Internal cycle times, labor costs, and subcontractor terms are never disclosed.
Zero changes for shop floor machinists and operators
Machine operators and programmers keep using familiar procedures. The connector runs silently in the background as production orders advance.
Fixed-price scope and clear return on investment
We define a tight technical perimeter at a fixed price. No hidden volume-based fees calculated on parts produced or invoices issued.
Three Steps to Secure Your OEM Supply Contracts
A pragmatic workflow built around the realities of industrial subcontracting
Audit of customer technical demands
We review what your foreign buyers specifically mandate and cross-check where these data points live in your shop database.
Configuration and pilot run on an active order
We link data extractions, generate the compliance sheet and 2D code for a live shipment, and verify buyer system acceptance.
Standard rollout across dispatch lines
Every completed production run automatically creates the required passport record, ready for shipping paperwork and pallet marking.
Fixed one-time software integration fee for pilot workflows and connected lines, supported by an annual maintenance and support license.
Subcontractor Frequently Asked Questions
Our shop software is legacy: can it still connect?
Yes. Adelant's connector interfaces with standard relational databases, local file archives, and periodic CSV exports. No ERP overhaul is required.
What happens if a buyer changes their technical specification?
Transformation logic resides inside the Adelant connector: if the buyer or regulation updates standards, we adjust the output mapping without altering shop floor workflows.
Will our internal hourly rates or heat treat suppliers be exposed?
No. The passport exclusively exposes technical conformity and lot identification numbers, keeping your commercial margins and supplier agreements strictly confidential.
How long does implementation take?
From initial order mapping to validated code generation on live shipments, implementation typically takes three to four scheduled weeks.
