The ability to follow the recorded history of material and products through receipt, production and delivery, for example to support recall and containment decisions in manufacturing.
When a supplier reports a suspect batch, many manufacturers cannot prove which products actually contain it. This episode is for quality managers, MES and ERP owners and manufacturing IT teams who need traceability that holds up in recalls and audits. You…
In this episode of the m365.fm podcast, Mirko Peters explores why traditional AI security testing is no longer enough in modern enterprise environments. The discussion focuses on “red teaming” for multi-model AI systems, especially in highly regulated…
When a bottleneck machine stops, ERP, MES and IoT data can all be correct and still not tell the factory what to do next. This episode is for manufacturing IT, OT and data architects who need to connect existing systems without a replacement program. You will…
Many digital twin projects start with a 3D factory scene or every PLC tag and end up with a graph nobody can use. This episode is for manufacturing IT and OT architects building on Azure and explains what deserves a twin, how to model identity, state, events…
Everyone is talking about GitHub, Copilot, and AI-powered development, leading many to believe Azure DevOps is becoming obsolete. But inside Fortune 500 enterprises, a very different story is unfolding. While GitHub has become the preferred platform for…
Automating approval workflows has become essential for organizations that want to move faster, eliminate manual bottlenecks, and keep their processes compliant. In this episode, we break down how Microsoft Power Automate and SharePoint work together to create…
Most “inventory systems” are just Excel sheets LARPing as ERPs — and that’s why warehouses lose assets, fail audits, and end up with phantom spreadsheets nobody trusts. Barcode scanning isn’t a gimmick — it’s the only sane way to ingest perfect data into…
Your Copilot isn’t smart – it’s a very expensive autocomplete. In this episode, we break down why classic RAG (retrieve-augment-generate) quietly fails the moment your truth lives in more than one system, and how “agentic RAG” on Azure turns Copilot from a…
GPT-5 in Copilot is dazzling—but its fluency can fool you. It produces executive-ready prose fast, yet lacks defensible provenance. That makes it great for creation (drafts, outlines, brainstorming) and terrible for compliance (anything that must survive…
Power Platform chaos across dev/test/prod isn’t inevitable. The Power Platform CLI (PAC CLI) turns fragile, click-heavy moves into repeatable DevOps: scripted solution packaging, versioning, dependency checks, and plug-in registration you can trust. Use PAC…
This episode turns fragile, manual Power Platform deployments into reliable, auditable CI/CD with Azure DevOps. We unpack the real failure points—misconfigured service connections, flaky agent pools, hidden Dataverse dependencies, missing connection…
This episode demystifies Power Platform ALM with GitHub Actions so you can see—and control—every step from source to prod. Learn why deployments fail (connector references, environment variables, and human-led imports), how to wire service principals and…
Auditor-Ready Power Automate: Bridging the Traceability Gap · Mirko Peters Welcome back to the podcast and our companion blog! If you rely on Power Automate to streamline your organization's approval processes and boost efficiency, you are…
Frequently asked questions
What is traceability and genealogy in manufacturing?
Traceability tracks parts from supplier to customer, while genealogy proves which material went into which product. Together they rely on consistent identifiers and connected systems. · From the episode: Traceability and Genealogy
Where do traceability gaps usually occur?
At system handoffs, where identifiers or records do not connect. The episode suggests asking which handoff has the weakest evidence and may still need a manual check. · From the episode: Traceability and Genealogy
What happens when a traceability link cannot be proven?
It is the episode's term for the pull of compliance, auditability and traceability requirements that keeps regulated enterprises on Azure DevOps. · From the episode: Azure DevOps in 2026
How does AI change the need for DevOps governance?
Modern AI applications require continuous evaluation, approval workflows and traceability, which raises the importance of disciplined source control, pipelines and security. · From the episode: Azure DevOps in 2026
