Title Bar Coding and RFID: The Key to Traceability and Safety in the Foodservice Supply Chain
Author Zebra Technologies
Company Zebra Technologies
Synopsis
Safety concerns, competitive pressures, and regulatory requirements are creating demand for more traceability in the foodservice industry than ever before. Meeting the challenge does not have to be a burden on your business. Bar code and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies can provide traceability and real-time control to meet customer and regulatory requirements while actually improving efficiency and profitability. More extensive use of bar coding would produce $847 million in annual foodservice supply chain cost savings, according to a report by the Efficient Foodservice Response (EFR), an initiative sponsored by six industry trade and standards organizations.
