Preparing Cold Supply Chains for the New Era of Smarter Food Safety: Setting the Groundwork for Technology Adoption
The New Era of Smarter Food Safety is challenging food manufacturers, distributors, restaurants, and retailers to think differently about their cold supply chain. By implementing next-generation technologies that allow for real-time insights, organizations actively move from a position of reaction to prevention. This change will enable companies to improve food safety, reduce waste, and save money. This session will cover:
- Best practices in setting the groundwork for the successful implementation of state of the art technologies within the cold supply chain
- How organizations are utilizing real-time supply chain temperature monitoring to take a Preventative Controls approach to supply chain management
- Technology's ability to increase transparency, accountability, food safety, and quality by exceeding industry standards
