PakSense has released PakSense Ultra T3 powered by HarvestMark, a farm-to-fork traceability solution with integrated temperature monitoring and country-of-origin labeling (COOL) capabilities.
Combining technologies from PakSense and YottaMark, Ultra T3 is an industry first that allows shippers to track and trace products through the supply chain while simultaneously allowing them to monitor the cold chain and comply with COOL requirements, the company said. Traceability, cold chain and country-of-origin data are securely uploaded and stored in a hosted database, accessible anywhere, anytime via a password-protected Web portal.
Case and product items are labeled with country-of-origin information and unique HarvestMark codes supplied by YottaMark. Each code is associated with information such as harvest date, field of harvest, crew, processing/packing data and general bill of lading details. PakSense temperature monitoring labels then are applied at the pallet or container level and are automatically linked to the case and/or item labels.
Traceability and temperature data can be captured and uploaded to the HarvestMark data center as product moves through the supply chain. At any point, either the serial number of the PakSense Label or the HarvestMark code can be queried via a secure Web portal for tracing, country of origin and cold chain integrity information, the company said.
PakSense Ultra T3 powered by HarvestMark is designed to fit with a company’s specific workflows. In addition, PakSense Ultra T3 is fully compatible with the Produce Marketing Association’s Guidelines on Traceability and meets GS1 and COOL requirements, the company said.
