Produce lot number tracking and traceability is a requirement for many produce growing, packing, distribution and processing businesses.
QR Inventory software will help you track and trace fresh produce efficiently by using smartphones for qr code / barcode
scanning and data collection. Make sure that the produce cold chain is preserved using
IoT temperature and humidity monitoring system.
- Track produce lots / batches from the growing stage to harvest, packing and distribution.
- Use QR code or NFC tagging to easily track produce lots through the process by scanning the tag with a smartphone.
- Collect traceability information on each produce lot on site on a smartphone using mobile forms.
- BLE IoT module of QR Inventory software provides an option to automatically
monitor produce temperature and humidity conditions
using IoT sensors and
gateways.
- Receive instant alerts if temperature or humidity conditions go out of acceptable range. Prevent produce waste and spoilage,
and have digital temperature and humidity logs
readily available for the food traceability compliance.
- Send all collected traceability documentation from the mobile devices to the centralized cloud software platform, access on demand from anywhere.
Filter records by multiple parameters to quickly find required documentation.
- In the case of a problem that requires a recall, quickly find where each produce lot had been distributed.
- Analyze collected data to find and eliminate the reasons for the produce problems and recalls.
Produce Tracking and Traceability With Barcode / QR Code Scanning
Your produce traceability program starts from the field where produce is growing, or as you receive produce from the supplier.
Label individual product lots with the weather proof permanent QR code labels or NFC tags, and track all operations done during the growing season,
from fertilization to
pruning to applying pecticides, by scanning the label with a smartphone and filling out mobile forms.
During the produce harvest time, label containers with the pre-printed QR code labels, transfer all data collected during the growing time
by scanning QR code on the produce lot,
and collect any additional information on site using mobile forms.
Continue lot tracking and data collection process through the subsequent produce workflow stages: delivery, packing, processing and shipping to
the customer. Join the produce supply chain
at any point, and track produce operation through your part of the supply chain efficiently using mobile devices and barcode / QR code scanning.
Automatic Produce Temperature And Humidity Conditions Monitoring
Ensure that produce is safe to use by
monitoring temperature and humidity conditions
through the entire produce supply chain, from harvest to
use in the final product or client delivery. QR Inventory software provides an option to automatically
monitor temperature and humidity conditions using a network of IoT sensors, and a Bluetooth IoT gateway or a smartphone.
You can remotely access temperature and humidity logs in real time remotely via a QR Inventory software web dashboard.
Receive automatic alerts if the temperature or humidity conditions are above or below a threshold set for the product.
Ensure that correct temperature
and humidity conditions were maintained through the entire process, and have digital logs securely preserved in the cloud for the compliance documentation.
Centralized Cloud Platform With Real Time Data Access
All produce traceability information collected in the mobile application, as well as recorded temperature and humidity conditions
are sent to a centralized cloud software platform.
Authorized produce traceability software users can access up to the minute live information from anywhere via a secure web dashboard.
Produce Lot Splitting And Data Transfer
During the produce flow from field to sale you may need to subdivide bigger produce lots into a smaller ones.
For example, you may have the same operations done on the entire produce field,
but during the harvest time you may track part of this lot differently due to the differnt pick dates, transportation conditions, etc.
QR Inventory software allows you to easily transfer
traceability information collected on the bigger lot to the smaller ones. All you need to do is scan a QR code to copy all information
collected up to date. You can then proceed with
collecting more information on each individual smaller lot using mobile devices for QR code scanning and data collection.
Use Mobile Forms For Produce Quality Control And Food Safety Inspections
Food safety and quality control inspections is an essential part of any produce processing businesses.
Using QR Inventory software you can fill out food safety and quality control paperwork on site on the smartphones or tablets.
You have an option to link data collection mobile forms to the produce processing steps, so that company employees know which form should be filled out
on each step. Include clarifications, and optionally image(s) to the mobile form to explain what needs to be checked and how, and avoid employee errors.
Records submitted via mobile forms are stored in a secure centralized cloud location, and can be accessed on demand as needed.
Administrator can create pdf report based on the completed mobile forms,
store pdf reports off site and e-mail to the selected addresses.
Lot Traceability Through The Entire Supply Chain - Blockchain Traceability Solution
Food traceability usually does not start and stop within your company. You probably buy raw ingredients or pre-fabricated food products from other suppliers,
and / or perhaps you are shipping the product to the customer who is not an end user.
When each supply chain company records traceability information in it's own internal traceability software system at best, and
using paper and pencil at worst, each company needs to do more manual work and it is still impossible to get the entire traceability picture.
Our
Shared Traceability solution, which is based
on
blockchain technology
solves this problem. It allows companies within a supply chain network to share traceability data,
so that all supply chain partners have an immediate access to the complete, end-to-end traceability information. Shared Traceability can be used
as an add-on to QR Inventory or as a stand alone product. Please
let us know
if you would like to learn more about
Shared Traceability or would like to try it out.
