PRADAKO
At Pradako Mechanical and Engineering Works, traceability forms a cornerstone of our integrated quality management and manufacturing control systems, ensuring that every fastener produced within our facilities can be accurately identified, tracked, and documented throughout its entire lifecycle. Traceability enables complete visibility from raw material sourcing to final product delivery, supporting quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and customer confidence.
Our traceability system captures and links critical manufacturing data across every stage of production, including raw material heat numbers, supplier certifications, production batch numbers, process route cards, heat treatment records, coating batches, inspection reports, and final packaging identification. Through this integrated framework, every fastener is fully traceable backward to its material origin and forward to its final shipment and application.
Designed to strengthen consistency, accountability, and transparency across manufacturing and supply chain.
Pradako follows a structured traceability flow that captures and links information at every stage of the manufacturing process. Each stage generates documented records connected to the final product batch.
Full Lifecycle Traceability
This integrated flow ensures every fastener is traceable backward to raw material origin and forward to its final shipment and application.
Pradako integrates barcode-based identification, batch coding, digital documentation, and real-time production tracking across production and quality operations.
Digital + Documentation Continuity
A single system links batch identification, process records, and inspection approvals to ensure consistent documentation continuity across the manufacturing lifecycle.
Our traceability framework supports industries where safety, reliability, and compliance are essential, providing full linkage from material origin to final shipment and application.
Confidence Through Documented Manufacturing
Every supplied batch can be supported with MTCs, inspection reports, heat treatment records, coating certifications, batch identification, and customer-specific quality documentation.
Documentation is linked through batch numbers, heat numbers, and production lot identifiers, enabling complete backward and forward traceability.
