Did you know that in 2007, 3.5 billion acres was used to grow crops that no one ate?! To put that number in perspective, its bigger than Canada!
Part of the solution to this problem is shrinking this number with IoT. Zebra Technologies provides the right products to start efficient tracking from ‘farm to fork.’
Here’s how it works:
2D barcodes can track individual products and RFID tags can track shipment pallets.
It is important to gather as much information you can at each supply chain stage: ie. following the process of product from the farm to processing, to warehouses to distribution. This provides greater transparency in all stages of ‘farm to fork.’
Here’s what you need:
Zebra provides a wide variety of products you will need at each different supply chain stage including cold storage, warehouses, and mobile. The products include mobile computers, printers, RFID readers and printers and barcode scanners.
