The Importance Of Supply Chain Visibility For Perishable Goods

Food traceability is becoming an increasingly pivotal aspect of the food supply chain, particularly for perishable produce. The supply chain is becoming increasingly complex with stringent processes for handling and storing perishable products throughout the entire supply chain. Annually it is estimated that we consume 346.14 million tons of meat, as reported by WorldCounts. Due to its demand, temperature sensitivity and value, greater supply chain visibility and cold chain monitoring must be implemented to ensure products have been handled and stored correctly throughout the supply chain. At Adapt Ideations our products assist in attaining greater supply chain visibility and ensuring compliance and regulations are met for perishable goods. 

Multiple touch points across the supply chain places additional pressure on ensuring quality and safety is achieved across the entire supply chain. The packaging, storage, and transport of perishable and high-value goods such as meat and seafood play an important role within the cold chain. The aspects above highlight the need for consistent and reliable monitoring across the entire supply chain, to ensure vital data is collected on temperature-sensitive products. Innovative asset tracking solutions are allowing companies to digitalise their operational processes and develop greater asset and supply chain intelligence. IoT connectivity within the food industry is expected to enable a $500 billion profit boost to the industry by 2030. The adoption of IoT enabled asset trackers allows near real-time data to be collected and improve supply chain intelligence and visibility.   

Ensuring compliance and regulations measures are met is vital to the success of the food and beverages industry. Data collected can enhance the insights companies have on their supply chain, which enables proactive actions to be taken. The perishable nature of meat and seafood means that these high-value assets can deteriorate rapidly, and damage & waste of products due to incorrect handling and storage can reduce supply chain efficiency. Monitoring and auditing measures are vital for the industry to ensure processing plants, warehouses and the overall logistics processes are safe and optimised for the needs of perishable goods. With the utilisation of innovative asset tracking solutions, the industry can automate their monitoring processes and increase visibility of their high-value assets. 

Innovation is key in resolving arising supply chain challenges. At Adapt Ideations our innovative IoT enabled asset trackers allows greater visibility to be achieved for the perishable goods industry empowering businesses and transport partners. Insightful near real-time data ensures that perishable high-value assets remain safe during the logistics journey. Further, asset tracking solutions enables companies to meet stringent compliance and regulation measures by ensuring the traceability of goods is present across the entire supply chain. The future of the food industry can be transformed by the utilisation of IoT enabled asset trackers. In turn this will revolutionise industry standards and supply chain excellence for perishable goods.
