The challenge of global traceability
In food & beverage, tracking ingredients throughout the production and distribution process is particularly complex, given the numerous steps involved in the transformation from raw material to finished product.
In the US, 52% of consumers consider knowledge about bioengineering in food products important in their purchasing decisions.
In this sector, to ensure end-to-end traceability that guarantees high quality while meeting customer expectations and regulatory requirements, it is necessary to rethink each step of the value chain in terms of digitisation, interoperability, automation, system integration and real-time data acquisition.
By connecting various stakeholders, traceability systems support sustainability, safety, and operational efficiency in global markets.
The future of traceability: interoperable, modular, integrated, glocal
Traceability systems are designed to track the history, application, and location of products, materials, or data throughout the supply chain. These systems ensure transparency by recording critical details at every stage of production, distribution, and use.
A modular approach to the development of enterprise traceability systems allows supporting its evolution over time by, for instance, integrating different enabling technologies (IoT, Digital Twin, AI&Advanced Analytics) to the MES to meet specific vertical needs. A traceability system, based on microservices architecture, deployable on premises/hybrid, compatible with containerisation (Kubernetes), compatible with messages (MQTT, AMQP) allows to reduce the overall impact of future evolutions.
A Glocal Traceability system is therefore the first and most important step for the supervision of the entire production and distribution process, through the automatic acquisition of all material movements in real time: from the processing of raw materials within the factory (Local level), to the serialisation of batches, to transport and delivery to distribution nodes (Global level).
