Facteon Traceability App

To combat the potential risks of globalised supply chains, product recalls and counterfeit goods, Facteon has developed a dynamic traceability app to help manufacturers achieve traceability from pasture to plate or compound to blister pack.

The traceability app has the ability to: collect raw material and product information in real time; track critical failure points through the full value chain; visualise machinery maintenance and cleaning information by scanning a QR code; track a product from its origins to finished goods by scanning a QR code; and integrate with existing business systems to deliver end-to-end traceability.

With machine-to-cloud connectivity and the ability to track specific product batches rapidly, Facteon’s traceability app has been developed alongside, rather than for, manufacturers.

Key features and benefits include: efficiency gains by eliminating the potential for product waste and machinery downtime due to inaccurate data collection or entry into a computerised system; reduce hardware costs by replacing QR code and barcode readers with a mobile phone; reduce time spent on health and safety procedures, food safety and audits.
