Traceability for Product Safety
UDI to Trace Every Unique Device/Piece
TOTAL TRACEABILITY WITH UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS
- Traceability of every individual piece (unique-identification)
- Record unique identifiers for every piece of every item for every movement
65%-80% LOWER EFFORTS TO CAPTURE METADATA ACROSS THE CHAIN FOR TRACEABILITY
- Scan to also capture meta-info (batch#, lot#, serial# etc.)
- Channel partners skip recording this since this involves tedious manual data entry
- Get full metadata with assured data hygiene at every point in the chain
Provenance & Anti-Counterfeiting
AUTHENTICITY TRAILS: PROVENANCE CHECKS FOR TRUST AND SAFETY
- Proactive backward traceability
- Trace-back-to-source: Revisit journey to establish source of the product - establish that the chain of movement is linked to the Principal
- Multilevel trace: Data trail are not broken even when goods change hands multiple times before they reach the end-consumer
COMBAT COUNTERFEITING: WATERTIGHT SOURCING OF GOODS CONTROLS WHO BUYS FROM WHOM
- Principal Brand controls if and when the reseller unit can upload inventory instead of buying it from assured sources
- Delegation may open this for controlled period of time for onboarding and setup of a dealer but may keep it closed thereafter
- While closed, the reseller unit only gets inventory from the purchases made from the Principal
- Combined with authenticity trails, data can establish accountability -if needed, despite widespread dispersion it can narrow-down and prove
- From broken to seamless supply chain
Recalls
EFFECTIVELY MANAGE RECALLS ACROSS MULTILEVEL MULTIPARTY CHAIN
- Post-facto forward traceability
- Trace every item sold: Revisit journey to establish source of the product - establish that the chain of movement is linked to the Principal
- Prompt action to limit liabilities: Initiate recall request to return the product immediately when safety issues or product defects are discovered - avoid any further complications and to minimize risk of legal action.
