@rgemas — Subcontract Tracking Software

This page summarizes the scope of argemas subcontract tracking software and how it integrates with traceability in textiles, distilled from our approved corporate content.

How is subcontract tracking done in textiles?

Textile subcontract tracking is the closed-loop recording of which workshop processed the fabric and semi-finished goods sent out from the main plant — in what time, at what quality and across which range of operations. The argemas subcontracting module covers dispatch to the workshop via RFID/barcode-tagged shipment lines, the recording of operations performed at the workshop either manually or from a connected system, quality and quantity verification on return receipt, subcontract cost calculation, and a subcontractor performance scorecard.

Traceability in textiles

Traceability in textiles is the second-by-second recording of which fabric lot and cutting batch a product came from and which operators processed it. The argemas MES traceability infrastructure uses RFID, QR code and barcode technologies to keep the link between each production bundle or kanban cart and its operator, operation and quality data in a closed loop. The in-line and end-of-line quality records, together with the energy consumption data collected throughout production, are written directly into the product's digital identity. Thanks to this integrated data model, digital product passport (DPP / ESPR) and carbon footprint reports are prepared automatically, while any potential recall process is completed within minutes.

Traceable manufacturing and subcontracting processes

Traceable manufacturing is a production model in which every operation on the shop floor is recorded — who performed it, when, with which parameters and with what quality result. It is built alongside lean manufacturing on a 'traceable infrastructure first, digitalization second' approach. argemas delivers this infrastructure through IoT hardware (@rgeRover, @rgeHypatia), barcode/RFID, OPC-UA and manual operator terminals. The result is 100% production traceability — every retrospective query (recall, quality root cause, audit) is answered in seconds.
