TSC - The Powerful Traceability Tool  for the Supply Chains of Manufacturing Companies

What is TSC?

TSC (Traceable Supply Chains) is a set of tools (hardware, software and services) that helps companies to:

(a) effectively manage the incoming products, raw and packaging materials from suppliers and

(b) monitor their consumption on the factory floor, facilitating hence full traceability.

 
 
 

 

Where is TSC applicable?

TSC is applicable:

(a) within the company, through raw materials management and labeling requirements analysis and

(b) at the suppliers’ sites, through the design and implementation of systems and processes that meet the labeling requirements set by the company.

 

What does TSC include?

• A Supplier Manual for the labeling of products and logistics units (cartons and pallets).


• Industrial printers for the coding and labeling of products and logistic units.


• AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) equipment, such as mobile terminals, barcode scanners, RFID readers and wireless infrastructure.


• Software for electronic record keeping and aggregation management of traceability data (production codes, LOT numbers, expiry dates, etc), if there is not any existing system in place to provide this information.

 

 

What does TSC have to offer to a manufacturing company?

• Supply Chain Traceability (-1)

• Improvement of receiving and dispatching processes

• Supplier management in terms of labeling and traceability

• Error elimination, since there is no data entry involved

• ERP update in real-time

• Compliance with EU Regulations regarding product safety and traceability

 

 

 


Traceability and Safety System for Manufacturing Companies.

 

Theodorou Automation SAICT, with over 20 years of experience in product coding and identification, is one of the first System Integrators in Europe that started developing an electronic traceability system. Since 2000, our ‘Tracer Factory’ system has been successfully installed in many Food, Beverage and Packaging manufacturing companies.
 

What is Tracer Factory – Recalls Manager?

Tracer Factory – Recalls Manager is a traceability system designed to facilitate recall management. It provides ‘downstream’ and ‘upstream’ traceability through product genealogy tree visibility at the LOT level. By identifying raw materials and assigning them to specific LOTs, Tracer Factory – Recalls Manager keeps records of where, how and when every product and its packaging material was produced, the enterprise(s) that produced it, and where it was sent.

Tracer Factory – Recalls Manager is especially designed to meet all customer and regulation requirements concerning food safety and traceability.

 

Successful Installations

Tracer Factory – Recalls Manager has been installed in Greek companies from almost all Food & Beverage processing sectors, such as Oil & Fats, Tomato, Sea Food, Animal Feeds, Bakery products, Agricultural products, etc.

Also, there is growing concern for traceability in the Packaging Materials sector. According to the European Directive 1935/2004 article 17, all packaging materials (paper, plastic, metal, glass, etc) that come in direct contact with food must be traceable. Tracer Factory is successfully installed in Packaging companies meeting the above requirements.

Tracer Factory – Recalls Manager is a module of Tracer Factory, our system for traceability and manufacturing operations management. Find more about Tracer Factory here.

Our company develops and promotes in the Greek market the following products:

Tracer Factory: MES (Manufacturing Execution System) for production monitoring and product traceability.

We are the exclusive distributor of the products of the Danish company Trojanlabel for the Greek market. Trojanlabel is a pioneering company in digital compact colour label printers that are used in manufacturing, logistics and retail.

Trojanlabel printers use MEMJET technology and offer:

  • Reasonable purchase cost
  • Economical and fast printing
  • Excellent print quality
  • Ease of use and installation

They are ideal when quick and flexible high quality colour label printing is needed, or when the number of labels is relatively small so traditional printing methods are too costly.

What is Product Traceability?
According to ISO 22005 Standard, traceability is defined as “the ability to follow the movement of a feed or food through specified stage(s) of production, processing and distribution”. After recent food scandals and incidents, the design and implementation of traceability systems has become an important task both for businesses and consumers, who view it as a safety and quality assurance system.
 
How does a Traceability System work?
In practice, traceability systems are recording keeping systems that monitor the path of every product and packaging material, from raw material to finished product. In the case of an emergency event, traceability systems provide all the information required to effectively recall the suspected Lots. Electronic traceability systems act as powerful tools for manufacturing companies to meet retailer and regulation requirements, respond quickly to exceptions and crises, eliminate human error and improve product quality and production procedures.
