A Digitally Connected Food Supply Chain to Deliver Transparency, Sustainability & Efficiency

信任和透明的食品供应链是所有农民、食品制造商、食品服务提供商和零售商的消费者的固有期望。访问供应链数据的速度取决于供应链的复杂性、所涉及的产品以及不同供应链合作伙伴使用的系统的数字成熟度。因此，我们已经确定了需要一个可互操作的平台，该平台可以与现有系统集成，以一种可以实时演示和挑战的方式捕获可跟踪性信息。通过与现有软件平台集成，创新的Trace Connected解决方案有可能减少重复数据输入的需求，并尽可能消除对数据的人工干预。通过实时提供可追溯性并消除人工干预的要求，为经济利益和食品欺诈事件而操纵数据的风险大大降低。该项目将提供一个数字框架，使农民、食品制造商和零售商能够更快地获得有关其生产、采购和销售产品的信息，使他们能够更快地做出基于证据的决策，从而降低成本、浪费、风险和增加价值。该技术解决方案将能够提醒用户注意其供应链中的潜在危害，减轻反应性响应并促进主动问题管理。最终，将劳动力从可追溯性练习中剔除，并增强供应链的控制和可见性。该系统将提供可追溯性和供应链映射功能，可以跟踪和跟踪产品，并定义从农场到餐桌的产品属性。这将产生一个完全可互操作的可追溯系统，该系统实时运行，以呈现由关键数据元素组成的可视化跟踪，如动物识别、批次代码和零售包装代码。通过供应链映射过程和“跟踪”练习，利益相关者的价值主张将被定义为包括但不限于；快速产品召回，提高效率，促进循环经济，积极验证可持续性参数。随着消费者对动物福利、可持续性、农药使用、食品里程和抗生素使用等各种产品属性信息的认识和需求不断提高，该技术解决方案将提供一个框架，使企业能够将这些信息与特定产品批次进行数字化链接，从而提高消费者更好地了解其食品购买情况的能力。

A trusted and transparent food supply chain is an inherent expectation of consumers from all farmers, food manufacturers, food service providers and retailers. The speed at which data from the supply chain can be accessed varies depending on the complexity of the supply chain, the product involved, and the digital maturity of the systems being used across the different supply chain partners. Therefore, we have identified the need for an interoperable platform which integrates with existing systems to capture traceability information in a way in which it can be demonstrated and challenged in real time.By integrating with existing software platforms, the innovative Trace Connected solution has the potential to reduce the requirement for duplication of data entry and removes manual intervention of data wherever possible. By making traceability available in real-time and removing the requirement for manual intervention, the risk of data manipulation for financial gain and food fraud incidents is dramatically reduced.The project will deliver a digital framework which will enable farmers, food manufacturers and retailers to have faster information on the products they are producing, purchasing and selling, enabling them to make faster, evidence based decisions which will result in reduced costs, waste, risk and increased value.The technology solution will have the capability to alert users to potential compromises within their supply chain, mitigating reactionary responses and promoting proactive issue management. Ultimately, taking the labour out of traceability exercises and enhancing control and visibility of the supply chain.The system will deliver traceability and supply chain mapping functionality which will track and trace products and defined product attributes from farm to fork. This will result in a fully interoperable traceability system which operates in real time to present a visualised trace constituting of critical data elements, such as animal identification, batch codes and retail pack codes. Through the supply chain mapping processes and 'walk the trace' exercises stakeholder value propositions will be defined to include but not limited to; rapid product recall, improved efficiency and promotion of a circular economy and proactive validation of sustainability parameters.With increasing consumer awareness and demand for information on a variety of product attribute's on areas such as animal welfare, sustainability, pesticide usage, food miles and antibiotic usage, the technology solution will provide a framework, enabling businesses to digitally link this information to specific product batches, enhancing a consumers ability to be better informed on their food purchases.
