Track and Trace Applications for Product and Supply Chain Protection
Full-scale Serialization and Aggregation; i.e. Track and Trace, forms the basis for enhanced consumer protection from falsified or diverted products. The technology is giving manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors a systematic approach to detect counterfeiting and control product diversion. End-to-end Track and Trace enables knowledge about the physical location of a particular product within a supply chain at any point in time.
It also allows recording of historical data about movement of a product, time spent at each stage, as well as packaging information. The technology is applied in different industries with the goal of brand and consumer protection from counterfeiting, as well as grey markets. Full Track and Trace involves the implementation of both serialization and aggregation solutions into packaging lines and corporate IT systems.
Cosmetics
The problems with counterfeit cosmetics and product diversion are leading brand owners to take firm action to protect consumers and their brand name. There are various technologies on the market, but serialization is one of the most effective. In the process of serialization, each product receives a unique serial number at the point of manufacture. This number allows to monitor the product along the entire supply chain.
Although cosmetics and makeup packaging often have minimal space for serialization marking, the advanced technology of Wipotec can solve even this challenge. We understand that the design and look of cosmetic packaging are very important for marketing and branding needs your product.
Food
With food fraud rising at an alarming speed, more and more food manufacturers are deploying traceability solutions to protect their products by improving supply chain transparency.
Additionally, an effective traceability system enables agile and efficient recall management, greater control over a stock situation and enhanced production management. Find out more about deploying a food traceability system, as well as its components and benefits for food manufacturing companies.
Serialization and Aggregation; sometimes referred to as Track and Trace solutions, can be applied in the field of agrochemicals according to CRISTAL Guidelines with the goal of safeguarding legality and authenticity of agricultural pesticides retailed.
