Abstract: Tracing forged parts over their production process includes: capturing process parameters of a forging process; marking a workpiece with a first identifier; storing the captured process parameters and the first identifier in a database; reading the identifier from the workpiece produced in the previous process step; capturing process parameters during subsequent process steps; storing the process parameters of the subsequent process steps in the database for the read identifier, if legibility of the first identifier of the workpiece remains during the subsequent process step; marking the workpiece produced in the subsequent process step with a further identifier, if legibility of the first identifier of the workpiece does not remain during the subsequent process step of the production process; and storing the process parameters of the subsequent process step together with the further identifier and process parameters of the previous process steps and the first identifier in the database.
