Tracking production in a production facility using searchable digital threads

A computerized system for tracking production in a production facility and for obtaining searchable production records of a manufactured product, said system comprising:

• at least one central computer server, in communication with a productions site;
• said central server comprising:
• a) an input interface configured to receive from a production site:
• production status and location data, comprising manufacturing details which may affect the integrity or efficiency of a manufactured product;
• said production status and location data pertaining to tagged central key assets deemed central to operation of a production floor of said production facility, said production status and location data being measured during a production run and received from tracking readers located in said production facility;
• b) a processing unit operatively connected to the input interface;
• c) a storage unit operatively connected to the processing unit to store the input data;
• the storage unit also containing instructions that when executed by the processing unit cause the processing unit to:
• record said production status and location data comprising said manufacturing details which may affect the integrity or efficiency of a manufactured product, in a searchable database of production-related digital threads;
• wherein said digital threads describe time-related status and information particulars related to production of a manufactured product;
• allow execution of a search of said database to detect the manufacturing details of said production-related digital threads.

A non-transitory machine readable storage medium containing instructions associated with tracking production in a production facility and obtaining searchable production records of a manufactured product;

• the instructions when executed cause a processor of a central server in communication with said production facility, to execute the following:
• receive production status and location data comprising manufacturing details which may affect the integrity or efficiency of a manufactured product;
• said production status and location data pertaining to tagged central key assets deemed central to operation of a production floor of said production facility;
• said production status and location data measured during a production run and received from tracking readers located in said production site;
• record said production status and location data comprising said manufacturing details which may affect the integrity or efficiency of a manufactured product, in a searchable database of production-related digital threads;
• said database stored upon said central server;
• wherein said digital threads describe time-related status and information particulars related to production of a manufactured product;
• allow execution of a search of said database to detect the manufacturing details of said production-related digital threads.
