Capture serials and IMEIs at pack, dispatch and activation with scanners and custom software. Enable warranty checks and diversion investigation.
Serial and IMEI scanned at end of line, packing, carton close, palletisation and gate-out.
Unit to carton to pallet to invoice linkage maintained, so one label scan reveals everything inside.
Any recovered unit traced back to the distributor, retailer and invoice it was despatched against.
Allocation, line capture, aggregation and downstream reconciliation - built as one system, so an after-sales head validates a warranty claim and a supply chain head closes a diversion case from the same record.
IMEI blocks arrive against your type allocation code and serials follow your own scheme. We hold allocation centrally with hard controls against reuse, overlap and gaps.
The pack station is where traceability is won or lost. We capture the IMEI or serial as the unit is boxed, then build carton, pallet and shipment hierarchies automatically instead of rebuilding them from dispatch notes.
Once a carton leaves the gate, most plants lose the thread. We map every unit to the distributor, retailer and invoice it moved on, then reconcile that against activation data where it is available.
One data set answers three questions - is this unit genuine, is it in warranty, and how did it reach a market it was never sold into. We build all three views on one device record.
Capture technology selected for pack-line speed and label conditions, because a scanner that misses one unit in a hundred breaks the aggregation chain.
Industrial fixed-mount imagers at the pack station and rugged handhelds at dispatch, chosen against label size, contrast and conveyor speed.
Applications
Carton and pallet labels printed and applied inline, then camera-verified so no aggregation parent enters unreadable.
Applications
Where handling volume justifies it, RFID tags read pallets in bulk at gate-out instead of scanning every carton face.
Applications
Distributors, retailers and service centres get restricted access to confirm receipt, check warranty and report suspect units.
Applications
Representative outcomes from handset, consumer electronics and appliance deployments. Figures are indicative ranges typical of this solution type and must be confirmed against your own baseline before publication.
High-volume assembly plants allocating IMEI blocks across models and dispatching through large distributor networks.
Makers of televisions, refrigerators and white goods managing warranty claims through third-party service networks.
Companies where units sold for one region or price band surface in another and undercut authorised distributors.
Measures agreed with your plant IT, after-sales and supply chain heads before deployment, then reported from the first week of live running.
Share of units whose IMEI or serial is captured at the pack station.
How we get there: Imager selection, label contrast testing and rejection of unreadable units.
Match between units recorded inside a carton and units present when opened.
How we get there: Enforced carton close rules and receipt scanning at the distributor.
Time for a service centre to confirm warranty status from an IMEI.
How we get there: An indexed serial repository exposed through a service centre lookup.
Elapsed time from a recovered unit being reported to its route being identified.
How we get there: The movement timeline is stored, so investigation becomes a query.
One packing line proves the capture design before the plant and channel are onboarded.
We study your allocation practice, pack station layout, carton and pallet formats, dispatch process and current warranty validation method before proposing a capture design.
Serial scheme, label artwork, scanner placement, aggregation rules and integration points to ERP and dispatch are documented and signed off before procurement.
One line and one distributor lane run live against agreed acceptance criteria, so capture rate and aggregation integrity are proven before you scale.
Remaining lines are commissioned, distributors and service centres are onboarded to the lookup and receipt apps, and the system moves into an agreed AMC.
Why handset and appliance makers commission a serial tracking system rather than extending another dispatch spreadsheet.
Cartons get opened, units get replaced and pallets get rebuilt. We design break-and- rebuild workflows so the hierarchy stays true instead of drifting after the first exception.
Capture is engineered against your actual units per hour. A scan step that stalls the pack station gets redesigned during the pilot, not defended after rollout.
Distributors and retailers will not use a heavy system. Receipt confirmation takes seconds on a phone, which is why the downstream data actually arrives.
Scanners, printers, labels, apps, integration and support come from a single engineering team, so a drop in capture rate has exactly one owner.
Book a requirement discussion with our engineering team. We will assess your pack lines, allocation practice, dispatch flow and warranty process, then return with a scoped approach, a scanning hardware outline and a single-line pilot plan.
A serial number tracking system records the unique identity of every finished unit and follows it through the supply chain. That identity is the product serial number or, for mobile devices, the IMEI. The system allocates the identifiers, captures them at end of line and packing, aggregates units into cartons, pallets and shipments, and records every handover to distributor, retailer and end customer, so any unit can be validated for warranty, authenticity or channel compliance.
No. We are a custom solution development and systems integration company. Every deployment starts with a requirement study of your allocation practice, pack lines, dispatch flow and after-sales process, and the system is engineered to that specification.
IMEI blocks obtained against your type allocation code are held centrally and issued to production orders under controlled rules. The system prevents reuse, overlap and out-of-range writes, and reconciles issued numbers against units actually produced.
Yes. Any IMEI reported from the field is checked against allocation and dispatch records. Numbers never issued, or already recorded on a dispatched unit, are flagged, which supports investigation of duplicate or suspicious IMEI activity.
Yes. Fixed-mount imagers, rugged handhelds, print-and-apply labellers, verification cameras and the label stock specification are within project scope. We test label contrast and print durability against your carton material before committing to a design.
Yes. Production orders, models, invoices and dispatch documents can flow in from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Navision or Tally, while serial-level pack, dispatch and receipt data can flow back. E-way bill and transporter references can also be held per shipment.
Where the operator or your device platform makes activation data available, we ingest and reconcile it against the dispatch record for that IMEI. Mismatches between the region sold into and where it activated can be raised as diversion candidates.
Either, or hybrid. Plants often keep the serial repository on-premise for line reliability while exposing warranty lookup and channel confirmation through a controlled cloud interface. The deployment model is decided during design against your data policy.
A single packing line with one distributor lane is typically live within eight to twelve weeks of requirement sign-off, subject to hardware lead times and ERP integration effort. Remaining lines and channel partners follow in phases.
An annual maintenance contract covers response times by severity, preventive maintenance of scanners and print-and-apply heads, label and consumable specification support, onboarding of new distributors or service centres, and enhancement requests.
