Unlocking Transparency: Why Product Traceability Matters and How to Achieve It

Image
  We understand product traceability to be the set of procedures, measures and actions with which products are identified from the beginning of their manufacturing to the end of the supply chain. This allows any product to be located within the supply chain and, if necessary, removed from the market for safety reasons. With the advancement of technological transformation, markets are increasingly global and are subject to strong quality and safety regulations. This generates the need to have reliable traceability, which ensures compliance with regulations. In the European Union, for example, it is mandatory to maintain traceability of food products. Furthermore, with good product traceability software management, savings in production and logistics costs, an improvement in production processes and assurance of product quality are achieved. Types of traceability Three types of traceability can be distinguished, backward traceability, internal traceability and forward traceability: ...

Traceability solutions are critical in sectors where people's lives or health may depend on locating specific batches of potentially harmful products. We tell you why traceability is key to the reputation of companies. Learn how blockchain technology and your software can help you understand traceability. When some serious cases of blood clots linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine were detected, some countries suspended vaccination altogether. Meanwhile, others immobilized certain batches, thanks to the fact that the traceability of each vaccine was perfectly known. If a problem is discovered during the COVID-19 vaccination, traceability is total, since each autonomous community knows the vaccines that arrive and which batch they belong to. In addition, the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) knows where each of the vaccines is sent. As if that were not enough, each person's vaccination is registered with the trademark and the batch. But traceability, in addit...

How to implement a traceability solutions in your company

  Traceability in the company Although the word “traceability” was frequently used in the business environment, it was only a few years ago that the RAE admitted it in its language dictionary. Another appropriate way to call the same concept is “product tracking” or “product tracking.” Leaving aside the issue of naming, today the management and control of the products that a company manufactures or markets has become necessary. The demand for transparency on the part of the administration and consumers requires total control of the production process. When traceability solutions are implemented, a global vision is acquired of each of the parts that participate in the physical flow of materials and products during the process . Although it has become mandatory in sectors such as food, due to the health regulations associated with that field, traceability systems have application in most industries and areas. The advantages that come with careful control of traceability are, to giv...
