Coöperatie Hoogstraten: traceability solution with vision and ATLAS RFID

Coöperatie Hoogstraten attaches great importance to the traceability of its products throughout the chain, where food safety is playing a significant role. As the strawberries originate from some 200 strawberry growers, this process is logistically not easy to achieve
The Proof of Concept quickly showed that both QR and RFID scanning were required to link the punnets and trays with strawberries, and the pallets carrying them. Aucxis was responsible for the RFID part and established the required links, while our partner VistaLink took care of the reading of the QR codes by using vision technology.
The result
• Flawless traceability of 7 million trays each year;
• Higher processing speed: manual barcode scanning has become redundant;
• Human errors are excluded, so less pressure during loading and among the growers;
• Improved information provision about the origin of the strawberries.
