Product Traceability Software Design Based on Unified Modeling Language

A relevant section of ISO standards requirements is related to the problem of tracing every production phases, and related data, needful to realize each product. Moreover the firm can be requested, for customers safety or contractual agreement, to be able to locate on the market every delivered products on which some analysis and/or corrections have to be made, due to faults or unconformities. An information system able to perform the above described tasks is usually called Traceability System. In this work a software-based traceability system for agro-industrial products, fully designed with Unified Modeling Language, is presented. Use case diagrams are adopted in order to model software requirements for each user involved into the specific production process, while UML class diagrams describe the relationships design between objects and production process data. The winemaking production is considered as an application.
