carry critical international trace- ability data, based on GS1 current standards, covering consumer pack units, cases and pallet codes, as well as time and temperature logging, which will be captured through the Evrythng Product Cloud database.
“This traceability project validates the adoption of data standards for the table grapes industry, to protect the integrity of products and producers, ensuring high quality and authentic Australian-grown produce reaches the consumer, and valuable first party consumer feedback reaches producers,” said Simon Jones, senior vice-president, Evrythng.
The implementation of this new traceability system has far-reaching benefits across the board. In addition to enabling table grape producers and exporters to be sure of the safety and quality of the produce being deliv- ered to consumers, it also allows for enhanced planning and logistical management, facilitating increased capacity and responsiveness in a fast-moving global market – helping
to leverage the value of Australian table grapes.
There is no doubt that the use of this technology stands to revolutionise the agriculture industry as a whole – giv- ing consumers the data they demand, providing clear insights across the supply chain, and giving the industry and brand owners the tools to enhance business operations, all of which will deliver far reaching benefits. ■
