Protect Perishable Goods With Digital Asset Tracking Solutions.

Intelligent supply chain processes can allow vital data on the conditions experienced by assets to be collected during logistics. For perishable goods such as meat and seafood, their inherent temperature sensitivity makes these high-value consignments prone to rapid deteriorations when violations of set parameters occur. To ensure that the freshness and quality of high-value goods such as meat is maintained, digital asset tracking solutions must be employed. The supply chain is a vital component of organisations, especially those that deal with high-value and temperature-sensitive goods. Asset intelligence enables companies to make business decisions based on the data gathered and ensure stakeholders within the supply chain understand how assets are being handled.

The impact of vital conditions on perishable goods.

Temperature fluctuations, shock and even excessive light exposure can impact the viability of perishable food such as seafood. Often, any deterioration to quality and viability of products cannot be seen by the naked eye pointing to the importance of understanding what conditions perishable goods experience throughout the supply chain. Globally, there is a greater focus on sustainability and prolonging the life of perishable goods to reduce damage and waste. Enhanced monitoring processes can create a more sustainable supply chain through the increased visibility and consequent proactive measures that can be taken.

The need for greater asset intelligence and how this can be achieved.

Achieving greater asset intelligence is key for businesses to maintain a competitive edge in the industry. Technology, connectivity and automation is continuing to play a large role in the perishable goods sector and is paramount for success. The purposeful implementation of innovative solutions such as IoT enabled asset trackers will help improve supply chain intelligence and insights gathered from the data collected. For example, IoT enabled asset tracking solutions can be utilised by the perishable goods sector to ensure meat and seafood remain within the correct temperature ranges and violations such as light and shock exposure can be detected. Asset tracking solutions help to create a chain of custody and ensure compliance and regulations are abided by.
