ITISA Traceability Platform

One digital record for every piece, from production to final installed position.

A unified traceability platform designed to give ITISA leadership fast, visual access to piece-level information across material intake, production, QA/QC, yard management, dispatch, site receiving, erection, and installation.

Executive Summary

ITISA requires a practical and reliable way to centralize traceability information for prefabricated and prestressed concrete pieces. Critical information may already exist across SAP, QR code records, production logs, quality documentation, dispatch records, and field workflows, but it is not always easy for leadership to access quickly.

One user experience for leadership and operational teams.
One leadership dashboard with real-time operational visibility.
One digital birth certificate per piece.
One traceability workflow from material intake to final installed position.
QR

Existing QR codes become the access point.

Each scan creates a timestamped event, allowing authorized users to understand where a piece came from, what materials were used, where it is now, when it was dispatched, when it arrived on site, and when it was installed.

Leadership Visibility

Designed for faster answers.

The platform is intended to give ITISA leadership, including Carlos Araujo, CEO, and Carlos Arroyo, COO, fast access to piece-level status, origin, documentation, yard location, dispatch history, and installation progress.

Origin

Where did the piece come from?

View project, plant, production line, bed or mold, production date, QA/QC release, and supporting documentation.

Location

Where is the piece now?

Track current yard location, staging status, dispatch status, site receiving, laydown area, or installed position.

Materials

What was used to produce it?

Connect the finished piece to available material input fields, later expanded into deeper lot-level traceability.

Agile Delivery

Deliver, evaluate, improve, and repeat.

33Visual recommends an Agile Discovery + MVP implementation framework. Rather than attempting to define a complete enterprise solution upfront, the project moves through short, practical cycles: discover, define, configure, test, evaluate, improve, and repeat.

Why Agile matters

This approach allows ITISA to see progress early, validate assumptions with real users, and prioritize the features that create the most immediate operational value. Weekly review cycles help keep the project focused, reduce uncertainty, and prevent the perception that the platform requires a long and slow implementation timeline.

Phased Project Proposal

A practical implementation path.

The project is structured in phases so ITISA can approve, test, and expand the platform based on validated requirements and real operational feedback.

Glossary of Terms
Key terms used in the ITISA Traceability Platform proposal, organized as a compact reference for leadership, operations, quality, production, site teams, and IT / Systems.
AgileAgile Methodology

Agile is a project delivery method based on short cycles of defining, configuring, testing, evaluating, and improving. For this platform, it allows ITISA and 33Visual to validate the Workflow step by step before scaling.

MVPMinimum Viable Product

MVP means Minimum Viable Product. It is the first usable version of the platform, designed to test the core Workflow, validate assumptions, and gather feedback before expanding into more advanced functionality.

DBCDigital Birth Certificate

The Digital Birth Certificate, or DBC, is the central record for each piece. It acts as the “birth certificate” of the piece, connecting production, QA/QC, material, patio, dispatch, site receiving, installation, and final position information.

RecordPiece Record

The digital record is the central profile of a prefabricated or prestressed concrete piece. It can include piece ID, production data, QA/QC status, material links, location, dispatch information, installation status, and supporting documents.

QRQR Code

A QR code is the visual code attached to or associated with a piece. Scanning the QR code allows authorized users to consult or update the piece record, access the Digital Birth Certificate, and create traceability events.

QR WorkflowQR-Based Traceability

QR-based traceability means using QR scans as practical access points to consult, update, and document the digital record of each piece throughout the Workflow.

Digital ThreadEnd-to-End Digital Traceability

The Digital Thread is the connected history of a piece from material intake through production, QA/QC, patio, dispatch, site receiving, mounting / installation, and final as-built position.

Visibility LayerOperational Visibility Layer

The visibility layer is the consultation and visualization layer created by the platform. It does not replace SAP, ERP, or other source systems. It helps leadership and operations see critical information faster.

DashboardExecutive Dashboard

The Dashboard is a visual view of key operational information, including production status, QA/QC release, patio location, dispatch, site receiving, installation, and exceptions requiring attention.

PatioProduction Yard Mapping

Patio refers to the production or storage yard where pieces are located before dispatch. Yard mapping can include zones, bays, rows, racks, loading areas, hold areas, and ready-for-dispatch areas.

LocationYard Location

Yard location refers to the current physical position of a piece inside the production or storage yard. It helps teams find, move, inspect, and dispatch pieces more efficiently.

Yard ScanYard Personnel Scan

A yard scan is performed by authorized personnel to confirm or update a piece’s location, movement, status, readiness, or exception inside the patio.

QA/QCQuality Control and Release

QA/QC refers to quality assurance and quality control. In the platform, this confirms whether a piece is released, on hold, rejected, or requires additional inspection before moving to the next Workflow step.

DispatchLoading and Dispatch

Dispatch is the Workflow stage where a piece is confirmed for loading, shipment, and release to the construction site. It may include truck, shipment, operator, timestamp, and delivery documentation.

ReceivingSite Receiving

Site receiving confirms that the piece arrived at the construction site. The record can include receiving user, timestamp, condition, shipment reference, and staging location.

StagingStaging Area

The staging area is the temporary site location where a piece is placed before mounting or installation. It helps control logistics between delivery and final placement.

InstallationMounting / Installation

Mounting / installation is the construction stage where the piece is placed in its final position. This stage can include installer, timestamp, axis, level, zone, photo evidence, and approval notes.

As-builtFinal Position Conforme a Proyecto / As-built

As-built position refers to the final installed location of the piece after mounting or installation. It can include zone, axis, level, approved drawing reference, photo evidence, BIM reference, and notes.

DRODirector Responsable de Obra

DRO stands for Director Responsable de Obra, the authorized construction professional responsible for validating that a project complies with applicable regulations, permits, technical standards, and approved documentation. In the platform, this term is relevant because installation records, final position conforme a proyecto / as-built, and QA/QC evidence can support DRO and structural supervisor review.

ERPEnterprise Resource Planning

ERP refers to an enterprise system used to manage business and operational data. In this context, ERP or SAP may serve as source systems for piece, material, production, quality, dispatch, or administrative information.

SAPSAP

SAP is a business management system that may contain production, material, quality, dispatch, and administrative data. The platform can be designed to consult or connect with SAP where technically and operationally appropriate.

GISGeographic Information System

GIS means Geographic Information System. It allows assets, locations, yards, sites, or installed pieces to be represented on a map or spatial interface.

RFIDRadio Frequency Identification

RFID uses electronic tags and readers to identify objects without needing direct line-of-sight scanning. It may be considered as a future enhancement after the QR-based Workflow is validated.

BIMBIM Model

A BIM model is a digital model used for design, engineering, construction, and asset coordination. The platform may link a piece record to its planned or installed position in a BIM model.

IntegrationSystems Integration

Systems integration refers to controlled connections between the ITISA Traceability Platform and systems such as SAP, ERP, QR records, BIM, GIS, or document repositories. Feasibility, security, and scope should be validated during the Discovery Sprint.

SOPStandard Operating Procedures

SOPs define who scans, when they scan, what data is required, how exceptions are handled, and how inconsistencies are corrected. The platform supports SOP discipline by making checkpoints visible and auditable.

Plain objective

The platform should help ITISA answer quickly: where did this piece come from, where is it now, and what happened to it during the process?

Compliance Support and Mexican Standards
The platform does not certify compliance. It helps ITISA organize evidence, retrieve documentation faster, and demonstrate process discipline for audits, clients, and conformity assessments.

Operational evidence layer

The platform does not replace ITISA’s quality management system, engineering judgment, laboratory testing, SAP, ERP, or formal certification processes. It creates a structured digital evidence layer for production, QA/QC, patio, dispatch, site receiving, mounting, and final position conforme a proyecto / as-built.
