Capability · for Plant head, IT, production head
The switch reboots. The line does not stop.
A factory station has to keep working with the network, the server and the internet all down. In Trace that is not a resilience feature bolted on afterwards, it is the order the code does things in.
Local first, network second
Every event a station produces is written to durable local storage and flushed to disk before any network call is attempted. If the edge is unreachable the operator sees no difference and the record is not at risk.
A hard power cut costs one event, not the queue
The spool is an append-only file with one writer, one JSON record per line. A torn final line from a power cut is skipped on load rather than poisoning everything behind it. Losing the event that was mid-write is unavoidable; losing the other nine hundred is not.
Replay cannot duplicate
Every record carries an identifier assigned the moment it was created, and the edge deduplicates on it. A station that dies between sending and being acknowledged does not create a second event when it comes back.
Nothing in the runtime path waits on a remote call
Not licensing, not billing, not updates. A factory LAN may have no internet at all, and no part of production is allowed to depend on something outside the building.

We walk one line, list what each operation should capture, and tell you plainly which of your machines can be read. You get that list whether or not you buy anything.
Where this matters
- General assemblyMost plants do not fit a template. Some lines move, some cells batch, some stations have instruments and some have an operator with a spanner. Trace is configured to the line you actually have.
- MES or standalone traceability: choosing without over-buyingWhen a full MES is the right answer, when standalone traceability is, and the questions that separate the two for a mid-size manufacturer.
- Recall and forward traceGive Trace a component lot code and it returns every finished unit that consumed it, where each one went, and when. An indexed lookup, not an overnight report.
