Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI)

Produce Traceability Initiative Experts

Recalling products can have a gigantic financial impact on everyone associated with the produce supply chain industry. Unique identification and total traceability of batches or lots allows for only the recalled batch or lot to be destroyed and not a whole season of crops.

System ID partnered with ToolWorx and Intermec to provide a unique solution for the produce supply chain industry. Our solution comes in to play for phase #4 and #5 of the produce traceability initiative.

#4 Show Human-Readable Information on Cases
#5 Encode Information in a Barcode
