The power of traceability
As supply chains become more and more distributed, traceability has taken on new proportions. Today, connecting the dots from source to shelf is a complex process aided by technological advances.
Throughout The traceable value, we have examined the varied aspects of traceability. Let’s recap the ins and outs of a traceable value chain.
Navigating traceability
Traceability has emerged to be a crucial part of manufacturing. It involves tracking and tracing every stage of a product, from sourcing and production to distribution and consumption. How did traceability become such a big deal though? What value does it bring to the food and beverage manufacturers? And how does a traceable value chain work in practice?
Decoding types of traceability
A supply chain has multiple components and establishing traceability across the chain can often be challenging. So, manufacturers often implement traceability stages in different parts of their supply chain. So, what are the mechanics of a traceable value chain? What is the difference between the upstream and downstream value chains and what does internal traceability really mean?
Technologies driving traceability
Technology is the backbone of modern traceable value chains. The food and beverage industry has come a long way from the days of manual record-keeping and paper trails. Advances in technology has reshaped how traceability supply chains are managed today. From barcodes to blockchain, how is technology transforming the way we monitor a product's journey? And which technologies are at the forefront?
Top benefits of traceability
The impact and prevalence of a traceable value chain have grown in leaps and bounds in recent years. Source to shelf is not exactly a new phenomenon as consumers have always wanted to know more about their food. But what does traceability bring to the table for manufacturers? Why is it today a crucial aspect of food and beverage production? Explore the top benefits, ranging from safety to sustainability.
Traceability to the rescue
All the discussions around traceability are incomplete without examining the impact it has when things go wrong. Mistakes happen even under the most stringent conditions, and this is where traceability comes to the rescue by facilitating recalls, safeguarding public health, and minimizing negative impact. Explore how a traceable value chain makes a difference with real-life cases.
The importance of a traceable value chain is undeniable; however, it is still a complex process that requires multiple stakeholders to be on board, and the right technology partner. Talk to us to explore how we can help you track and trace your food and beverage products with SIG PAC.TRUST.
