It is a complex journey for food from the farm to the consumer’s plate. Food supply chains are interconnected systems that connect the source of food to its final destination. A top priority in building resilience in food supply chains is food traceability. To improve traceability in the production and distribution cycles, food companies need solutions that can track and locate products in real-time. Another factor is agility, which is crucial for the optimization of supply chain processes, including predictive planning and management of inventories.

Food traceability can be improved with comprehensive and customizable product labelling systems that enable comprehensive traceability throughout the entire value chain. Aiming to optimize logistics and inventory management in controlled locations can be especially beneficial.
