Tobacco Movement Tracking

Monitor every tobacco transfer between departments for full traceability and better resource management.

tobacco movement tracking on cigar factory

Tobacco Movement Tracking lets you control how tobacco moves inside the factory – from warehouse to humidification, drying rooms, classification, machine-made lines, and back to storage.

Each factory has its own conveyor templates: predefined flows like:

  • Receive Tobacco Purchase Order
  • Move Bale to Humidity Room / Receive from Humidity Room
  • Move to Drying Shelves / Receive from Drying Shelves
  • Move Bale to Classification / Return Box to Classification
  • Move Tobacco to New or Existing Container
  • Return Tobacco to Warehouse
  • Remove Tobacco Container

You decide which conveyors you use and which steps are required for your factory.

Every bale and box has a QR code. When an employee wants to move tobacco, they:

  1. Scan the QR code with the mobile app.
  2. Choose where they are moving the tobacco (next conveyor step).
  3. Fill required fields (for example, new weight after humidification or drying).

Because tobacco is always changing weight, you can force employees to enter a fresh weight at specific steps. This keeps your inventory realistic instead of theoretical.

All movements are stored with:

  • Which container was moved
  • From where and to where
  • Date and time
  • Employee who did the movement
  • Old and new weight (if required)
  • Status (confirmed / pending, rejected, removed, etc.)

In the admin panel, production managers can:

  • See a full movement history for each bale or box
  • Check who moved what and when
  • Detect wrong movements (e.g., moved to the wrong room or department)
  • Compare weight changes after humidification or drying
  • Control returns to warehouse and removal of containers
  • Export data or connect it to reporting (Power BI, etc.)

Result: less “lost” tobacco, fewer manual notes and Excel files, and a clear story for every bale from purchase order to final cigar.
