Trace-X

Trace-X is an open-source system for tracking parts and their relationships along a supply chain. It can ingest data about serialized parts, batches and child components. Users can search and filter manufactured parts represented by BoM AsBuilt and planned parts represented by BoM AsPlanned. Part details include Asset Administration Shell descriptions and models for serial parts, batches, just-in-sequence processes, planned and built bills of material, and usage. A parts tree shows component relationships, while supplier-network and supply-chain views let users inspect connections. Quality workflows support investigations exchanged between a company and supplier, plus alerts sent by a company to customers. The project aims to support standardized, interoperable and data-sovereign traceability exchange within Catena-X, with access defined for participating companies and people. Its browser frontend is an Angular application served statically through NGINX. REST endpoints are documented with the OpenAPI Specification, and the project provides a Swagger UI path. The installation guide documents deploying the application with a Helm chart. In the local umbrella setup, sending and receiving quality notifications is out of scope because that requires another Trace-X instance.
