Traceability Systems in the Electronics Industry Potentials and Requirements from Entrepreneurial Practice

In the context of Industry 4.0, traceability systems are increasingly used for data generation and thus enable a variety of data-based applications along the value chain. The interview study presented in this article provides an insight into the implementation of traceability systems in industrial practice using the electronics industry as an example. The results document the approach of the surveyed companies in the conception, implementation and evaluation of traceability solutions. © 2022 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
