PakSense, Inc., an innovator in sensory solutions for packaging, and YottaMark, Inc., a leader in unit-level brand security and marketing solutions, announced today at United Fresh 2008 that they have joined forces to combine unit-level traceability with integrated time and temperature monitoring capabilities.
A new time, temperature smart label, enhanced with the HarvestMark traceability solution from YottaMark, is expected to be introduced in the third quarter of 2008. The combined solution will provide growers, shippers and retailers with instant trace back, easy trace forward, and integrated cold chain monitoring linked to the unit level, with all information accessible via an online portal.
“This new time, temperature and traceability smart label will raise the bar on how companies track and trace products in the supply chain,” said David Light, CEO at PakSense. “Not only will customers have trace forward and trace back capabilities, but they will also have visibility into environmental conditions during shipping that could directly impact product quality and safety.”
Compliant with emerging traceability standards, the HarvestMark solution is fully compatible with the Produce Marketing Associations’ Guidelines on Traceability. The system can be deployed for case and pallet trace-forward and trace-back, as well as full unit-level traceability. As an on-demand hosted solution, brand owners and growers can get started on day-one without installing and supporting costly enterprise software or servers.
PakSense time and temperature labels will be directly supported by the HarvestMark solution, associating time and temperature data across truckloads, pallets, cases and units.
