Food Traceability

Improve Productivity, Quality and Efficiency

Millions of single points of data are critical to know in the food supply chain, requiring access to accurate, real-time information for fast, informed decision-making. Intermec food traceability solutions offer paperless, real-time access to inventory, production and shipment histories. For example, LoBue Citrus transitioned from a manual tracking system to an automated system using Intermec mobile computing and smart printing solutions. Now the company can automatically track and trace each of the 5 million boxes of oranges produced yearly within a matter of minutes.

Safeguard Public Health

Consumer food safety continues to gain visibility and rapid response to potential product recalls is imperative. Intermec's suite of automated solutions removes manual errors and mitigates the risk associated with major quality issues. In the event of a potential recall, these systems provide real-time, actionable data that enables you to focus only on affected product, minimizing the overall impact to your business and brand reputation.

Comply with Traceability Requirements and Government Mandates

An effective traceability system is a foundational element for compliance with current and impending mandates. Intermec solutions give you the ability to trace the history, application or location of food from field to fork across the entire supply chain, including growers, packers, wholesalers, DCs, retailers and all modes of transportation between the locations. Using durable asset tags permanently attached to reusable transportation containers, the containers are traced throughout the entire chain of custody, from point of harvest to processing centers and DCs to the customer at the store.

Increase Customer Satisfaction

Intermec food traceability solutions give you automated visibility to metrics so your customers enjoy fresher, higher quality products. And using Intermec's automated track and trace solutions enables you to assure retailers you have the systems to protect their customers in any industry-wide food safety alerts or recall situations.
