Track and Trace Systems

We help companies enhance transparency, safety and efficiency across their supply chains by providing complete track and trace solutions that guarantee the authenticity, compliance, reliability and safety of their products from production to end-consumer use, with 10+ years of hands-on experience in implementing these solutions in diverse industries such as food, pharmaceutical, tobacco, textile and luxury goods.

Target Markets

The target segments of this market offering are divided among providers of track and trace solutions and different industries which require these solutions.

Food industry

Track and trace systems track food from farm to fork, for example, aiding in pinpointing contamination sources for targeted recalls and minimizing consumer impact.

Pharmaceutical industry

In the pharmaceutical industry, track and trace solutions prevent counterfeit drugs by using unique identifiers like serial numbers or barcodes, allowing each product to be traced back to its origin.

Excise goods

To combat counterfeit and smuggled products like tobacco, governments and manufacturers use track and trace systems with unique identifiers, such as serialized codes or RFID tags, to monitor distribution and verify authenticity.

Textile and Luxury industry

Luxury brands use track and trace solutions to ensure authenticity, often with RFID tags or QR codes. In textiles, these systems monitor raw materials and finished goods to ensure sustainability and ethical compliance.

Common Business Problems of Target Markets

01

Non-compliance with regulatory requirements

02

Revenue loss due to counterfeiting and consequent brand damage

03

Wastage, higher production costs, and decreased productivity

04

Lack of visibility and optimization in the supply chain

Business Priorities of the Target Markets

Compliance with state and market regulations to avoid penalties, legal issues, and reputational damage.

Product authenticity, safety, and quality, thus enhancing brand reputation and loyalty

Protecting revenue streams and maintaining profitability by managing costs effectively

Operational efficiency and quality assurance


Efficiently manage inventory to prevent overstocking or stockouts, and ensure products are used before expiration.

Typical
Track and Trace Solutions

Barcoding and RFID

Bar codes and radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are commonly used to mark items for tracking. Scanners or RFID readers capture the data encoded in these tags, enabling real-time tracking of items throughout the supply chain.

GPS Tracking

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology allows tracking the location of vehicles, packages or assets in real time. GPS trackers are often used in transportation and logistics to track the movement of goods.

Blockchain Technology

Blockchain can provide a transparent, tamper-proof ledger of transactions, making it suitable for tracking the movement of goods and verifying their authenticity at every stage of the supply chain.

Cloud Platform

They provide centralized systems for storing and accessing tracking data. These platforms often offer features such as data analysis, reporting and integration with other business systems.

Data Analysis and Predictive Modelling

Analysis of monitoring data can provide valuable insight into supply chain performance, identify inefficiencies and enable predictive maintenance to prevent breakdowns or delays.

Mobile Applications

Mobile applications equipped with tracking functionality allow stakeholders to track shipments, assets or inventory in motion. These apps often provide real-time notifications and updates to keep users informed.

Geofencing

Geofencing technology creates virtual boundaries around specific geographic areas. When a tracked item enters or exits these limits, alerts can be triggered, enabling proactive management of assets or shipments.

Integration with IoT devices

Integration with Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as sensors and beacons enables environmental conditions (eg temperature, humidity) to be monitored during transit, ensuring product quality and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Problems we have solved

Ensured high-quality printing and reading results, even on surfaces that glare or are not suitable for printing, such as cans.

Connected with the logic to start the production line (PLC).

Integrated with automatic packing and stacking systems, such as robots.

Synchronized devices to handle downtime on the lines.

Established communication with production monitoring systems.

Adapted the system to meet specific customer requirements.

Designed a system less prone to errors, reducing the high cost of production line stoppages.

Created a solution capable of managing the high volume of products produced daily in the food industry.

Implemented a fast printing and scanning process to match the speed of food production lines.

Supported diverse packaging shapes and sizes by using multiple printers and scanners simultaneously.

Ensured a high level of accuracy, with only one product discarded out of every 10,000.
