As a major producer of nitrogen-based chemical products, this company faces stringent global traceability requirements and legal obligations for chemicals transported in Big Bags, including directives like GMP, FEEM, and EU Directive 2008/43/EG. These regulations demand full visibility and traceability throughout the fertilizer, food & feed grade, and industrial product supply chain.
However, the customer’s existing supply chain processes were largely manual and, at times, inconsistent. This made compliance challenging and increased the likelihood of human error in tasks such as handling Big Bags, managing package loss, and manual tracking. Recognizing that these inefficiencies could lead to errors, the company sought a technology-enabled operating model for tracking Big Bags that was less prone to human error.
The RFID implementation has provided our customer with 100% legal compliance of the regulations as well as full control over end-to-end production and delivery process of each asset at any given time, from factory to farm. This chemical company can now easily track, trace and if necessary, call-back individual big bags.
The company partnered with Turck Vilant Systems to implement an RFID solution, replacing cumbersome barcodes with a system that is easy to apply to Big Bags, allows automatic identification of individual items, and requires no line-of-sight. Using RFID enables the company to trace the origin as well as the content of each individual Big Bag.
