# Part Tracing The Part Tracing module in Linecraft AI lets you trace the complete lifecycle of a part as it moves through your production line, while tracking all associated quality parameters. This is useful when you need to investigate part acceptance outcomes, review rework history, monitor in-progress parts, or export process data for quality reporting. This guide walks you through opening the module, filtering by date range, searching for specific parts, analyzing process parameters using the Gantt Chart view, and exporting your results. ## Accessing the Part Tracing module Open the Linecraft AI application. On the Main Menu screen, select Company Name, Plant Name and Line Name to view all modules offered as per selected subscription plan. Under Module Selection, locate the Part Tracing tile in the bottom right and select it.

## Exploring the Part Tracing screen Once the module opens, you'll see an Enter Part Serial Number input field at the top. Below it, a default date range is displayed (for example, *03 Dec 2024 00:00 – 10 Dec 2024 00:00*), along with a set of quality KPI's: * Total Parts Handled * Parts OK * Part Rejects * Parts in Progress * Parts with Reworks * Avg. Time on Line * Avg. Time in Line in Planned Production

## Selecting a custom date range To analyze a specific production period, click the date range selector to open the calendar dialog. Use the left and right arrows to navigate between months, then select your start and end dates. You can also adjust the time values if needed. Click Apply to confirm your selection.

## Viewing part details from summary tiles Each summary tile supports quick filtering. Hover over any tile — such as Part Rejects, Parts with Reworks, or Parts in Progress — to reveal a View button. Clicking View filters the data table to show only the parts in that category.

## Searching by part serial number To look up a specific part, click the Enter Part Serial Number field and type a serial number or partial serial. Click the blue Search button to the right of the input field to run the search.

## Reviewing the part data table After a search, a data table appears on the right side of the screen listing all parts handled within the selected date range. The left panel continues to display the summary statistics. The table includes the following columns: * First entered the line * Part Serial Number * Part Type * No. of Reworks * Part Acceptance (for example, *Part OK*, *In progress*) * Non-compliant Parameters (%) * Total Time on Line * Time in Line in Planned Production

You can use the Filters button above the table to further refine the displayed results, or click Export As... in the top right to download the data. Use the Back button to return to the previous view.

## Analyzing an individual part in detail Opening the part detail view Click on a specific part serial number in the data table to open its detailed view. The left panel displays key metadata for that part, for example: * Serial Number * Part Type * First entered line * Total time on line * Time in Line in Planned Production * No. of Reworks * Part Acceptance The main panel shows a Gantt Chart area.

**Viewing the Gantt chart** The Gantt Chart visualizes the part's journey through each asset and process on the line. Assets such as Machine 1, Machine 2 and Machine 3 are listed along the vertical axis. Colored bars represent: * Part in Machine Time — shown in blue * Target Cycle Time — indicated by green, red, and black dashed lines A time bar at the bottom allows you to navigate through the process timeline. **Switching to part process parameters** Click the Part Process Parameters button to switch from the Gantt Chart view to the process parameters table. The table includes the following columns: * Asset * Quality Parameters * Min * Max * Time Stamp * Value * Aggregator Once loaded, the table displays process parameter readings for each asset. * Green highlights indicate that a value is within its defined range. * Red highlights indicate that a value is above or below its defined range.

**Filtering process parameters by asset** Use the All Assets dropdown above the process parameters table to filter by a specific asset. You can select or deselect assets such as Machine 1, Machine 2 or Machine 3 to narrow the displayed parameters.
