What is New in Track and Trace Technology?Angela Carver
In the distribution and logistics field track and trace is defined as the process of identifying past and current locations of inventory items. This inventory should be tracked at any level from ingredient to finished product and anywhere in between. Track and trace processes are supported through a variety of SCM technologies that help to provide real-time information on both location and status of these items as they move throughout the supply chain. A focus has been placed on track and trace due to the increasing complexity of governmental regulations. The government is becoming more active due to food recalls reaching their all-time high in 2013. On average, 6 recalls occur in the U.S. each day. These recalls impact up to 18.4 million products including pharmaceuticals, food and much more. This issue has sparked the focus on technology and automation throughout the supply chain.
These technologies are being used to manage the many moving pieces of the supply chain. In order to create a detailed, accurate audit trail needed to satisfy new regulations supply chain operators are implementing a variety of track and trace solutions including WMS, RFID and automated data collection devices.
SCM businesses handling food and pharmaceutical products have started to implement temperature indicators to track temperature, humidity and shock levels throughout the delivery process. These devices come in a variety of designs for flexible use. The data collected using temperature indicators can be transferred directly into inventory management software to develop a complete audit trail.
RFID functions in a similar way, passively tracking inventory as it moves throughout the supply chain. Radio frequency identification also helps to reduce the labor required to handle and process inventory. RFID is useful because it can track inventory at any level through the manufacturing process.
Warehouse management software is also a top tool used by SCM businesses focusing on track and trace because these powerful databases store all captured inventory data making it easily accessible to warehouse operators. Many top WMS systems are also developed to meet government regulations, taking the guess work out of track and trace.
To ensure your operation can meet regulatory requirements consider evaluating these technologies to bridge any gaps in technology capabilities. Learn more about new track and trace functionality and supply chain needs contact Datex experts today at marketing@datexcorp.com or 800.933.2839 ext 243.

Digital Collections; Web 2.0, the Semantic Web and Linked DataKatie Hannan
This document provides an overview of digital collections, social media, the semantic web, and linked data. It discusses how social media has changed to be more interactive and put consumers in control of information. Digital collections now include more than just books, and items are part of larger donated sets. The semantic web uses metadata and linked data to add context to information by describing it in subject-predicate-object triples. Examples of linked data projects are also provided, such as the South Australian Red Cross Information Bureau project which links records about soldiers. The document concludes by discussing challenges and next steps for linked open data.
In the last years, thanks to the standardization of Semantic Web technologies, we are experiencing an unprecedented production of data, published online as Linked Data. In this context, when a typed link is instantiated between two different resources referring to the same real world entity, the usage of owl:sameAs is generally predominant. However, recent research discussions have shown issues in the use of owl:sameAs. Problems arise both in cases in which sameAs is automatically discovered by a data linking tool erroneously, or when users declare it but meaning something less ’strict’ than the semantics defined by OWL. In this work, we discuss further this issue and we present a method for logically detect invalid sameAs statements under specific circumstances. We report our experimental results, performed on OAEI datasets, to prove that the approach is promising.

The Traceability Revolution: How Software Is Reimagining Food SafetyHarry Shawn
Picture this: you're about to take a bite of your favorite chocolate bar, savoring the rich flavors and anticipating that moment of bliss. But have you ever stopped to think about the journey this treat has taken before reaching your hands? From cocoa bean to factory, from production line to store shelf - every step along the way can potentially impact the safety and quality of what we consume. In a world where foodborne illnesses are all too common, it's time for a revolution in food safety. Enter software technology, transforming traceability practices like never before.
The Importance of Food Safety in Today's World
In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, food safety has become more important than ever. With globalization allowing for the rapid movement of goods and ingredients across borders, the risk of foodborne illnesses and contamination is a constant concern. We are no longer limited to consuming local produce; instead, our meals can come from all corners of the globe. While this opens up exciting culinary possibilities, it also poses a challenge: how can we ensure that the food we eat is safe?
Thankfully, technology has come to the rescue in the form of software solutions that enable traceability throughout the entire food supply chain. With these advanced systems, it is now possible to track every ingredient from farm to fork, ensuring transparency and accountability at every step. By digitally recording information such as origin, manufacturing processes, and transportation conditions, companies can quickly identify any potential risks or issues and take immediate action to address them.
Furthermore, software-based food safety systems also empower consumers to make informed choices about what they consume. Through mobile apps or scanning barcodes on product packaging, individuals can access detailed information about where their food comes from and how it was handled along its journey. This not only helps protect personal health but also holds companies accountable for maintaining high standards throughout their supply chains.
Ultimately, in today's globalized world where our groceries often travel thousands of miles before reaching our plates - knowing that our food has been produced safely is paramount. The traceability revolution brought by innovative software solutions ensures that everyone involved - producers, retailers, regulators
The Challenges of Traditional Food Traceability Methods
Traditional food traceability methods have long relied on manual processes and paper trails, making them highly susceptible to errors, inefficiencies, and fraud. These outdated systems often involve different parties in the supply chain keeping separate records, leading to a lack of communication and transparency. Moreover, relying on paper-based documents makes it difficult to track products in real-time, leaving room for delays and inaccurate information.
