QUALITY / BATCH TRACEABILITY
Batch Traceability for Custom NdFeB Magnets
Connect incoming material, coating, cutting tolerance and product performance through the records agreed for the project.
Drawing-led review preferred. A clear written requirement can start the discussion when a drawing is not ready.
ENGINEERING SNAPSHOTKeep the requirement visible from review to release.

01 / WHAT TRACEABILITY CONNECTS
Keep the record beside the part.
Traceability can connect the incoming material, production route, coating, critical dimensions, magnetic result and finished part release when those records are part of the project basis.
Material
Incoming material and documentation.
Process
Manufacturing and finishing route.
Inspection
Dimensional, magnetic and surface results.
Release
Part or lot handoff record.
02 / APPROVED PROJECT BASIS
Traceability follows the requirement.
The level of record should be agreed with the drawing, specification, quantity, sample route and release expectation. Keep the latest revision visible throughout the project.
Drawing revision
Identify the version used for production.
Material basis
Connect grade and coating decisions.
Process basis
Carry the route and critical checkpoints.
Inspection basis
Store results against the finished part.
03 / RECORDS THAT MATTER
Ask for the records that control the handoff.
Traceability is valuable when it answers a practical release question. The record set should be proportionate to the application and agreed before production.
Identity
Part, lot or sample reference.
Measurements
Critical dimensional and magnetic results.
Finish
Coating or surface condition record.
Disposition
Release status and agreed exceptions.
04 / NEXT STEP
Put traceability in the quotation basis.
Share the records required for your application and release process. ASTROMAGNET can then keep them adjacent to the drawing and inspection plan.
