Tracking and Traceability Systems Integration

BellHawk Systems specializes in implementing tracking and traceability solutions for its clients. Many of these solutions involve the use of barcode, RFID and mobile data collection technologies.

The primary purposes of these systems are:

To prevent employee mistakes by providing real-time point-of-actions warnings when employees are about to make an operational mistake, such as using the wrong materials.
To collect traceability records so as to enable rapid determination of the source of defects or contamination and the rapid recall of affected materials.
To enable clients to conform to customer or Government agency requirements for the capture and maintenance of tracking and traceability records.
To provide managers and supervisors with detailed real-time visibility as to the state of their operations and to provide warnings when problems occur.
To collect detailed operational cost data for internal analysis and external auditing.
To detect and prevent employee theft or malfeasance.

BellHawk Tracking and Traceability solutions are used by manufacturers, distributors, food processors, pharmaceutical producers, biotechnology laboratories, defense contractors, construction contractors, mineral extractors, repair depots, material converters, jewelers, and medical device and supply manufacturers and distributors.

BellHawk applications are typically concerned with the detailed tracking of high importance materials or items. These may be high value items, or they may impact health and human safety, or they are of contractual importance and may carry significant penalties when problems occur.

BellHawk systems track serialized items, individual containers of items, nested containers, loose and bulk materials. Our systems use track everything from gold and diamonds to vials of DNA samples to hazardous waste to bulk tanker trucks and ocean freight containers.

BellHawk uses techniques such as "license-plate" tracking and nested container tracking, in accordance with world-wide barcode and RFID standards. BellHawk tracks lots, serialized items and individual containers. BellHawk also tracks documents, test and process control data as well as employees, equipment and other assets.

These systems typically make extensive use of barcode, RFID and mobile data collection technologies. They require the implementation of automated data transfer interfaces with a wide variety of other systems and equipment. They often require the integration of data collected at many geographically distributed facilities using the Internet. Many also require the ability to collect data in the field and other location with limited communications availability.

BellHawk Systems is able to rapidly deliver cost effective solutions because of its investment in the development of an extensive line of software modules. These software modules enable BellHawk Systems to rapidly and cost-effectively configure systems that work-out-of the box. They are licensed to our clients at a small fraction of their development cost. BellHawk Systems then offers a very cost-effective customization service to tailor these modules to the specific business needs of our clients.

BellHawk Systems has made an extensive investment in software tools to automatically generate much of the code needed to implement automated interfaces to ERP, accounting, and CRM systems. These software tools are also used to automate data exchange with process control and automated test systems as well as to implement interfaces to equipment such as weighing scales.

BellHawk Systems has also made an extensive investment in its BSAF (pronounced be-safe) store and forward technology. This technology, originally developed in collaboration with the US Department of Defense, enables reliable mobile data collection and point-of-action validation and warning in communications environments where there many dead-zones and electrical interference.

To complement its software tools and modules, BellHawk Systems provides a range of professional services. These services include systems design, project management, systems integration, software development, installation, setup, training and support services.

When implementing systems for its clients, BellHawk Systems teams with partners that provide barcode, RFID and mobile data collection equipment. BellHawk also teams with IT services organizations and with specialists in ERP, accounting, CRM and process control systems. These teams enable BellHawk Systems to deliver complete turnkey systems for its clients at minimum cost.
