LIVONIA, Michigan, US - Recent enhancements have been made to CAPS’ proprietary container tracking software, CAPS-TRAC?, enabling users to capture, store and report on newly added data points. In addition to tracking individual container IDs and contents, customers now have the ability to track critical quality-related data throughout the supply chain including product temperature, weight, safety seal numbers, and more. The launch of these new tracking and data recording features are timely with the introduction of increasingly stringent government and industry food safety regulations such as the recently enacted Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
“
Doing so reduces manual processes and room for human error whilst complying with new regulations requiring more rigid data capture methods to ensure accuracy and accessibility in case of recalls.”
In addition to its full-service returnable shipping container rental programs, CAPS offers a stand-alone SaaS (software-as-a-service) reusable container management solution. Since its initial development of the tracking software, the company has continued to leverage emerging technologies, ensuring they provide customers with a comprehensive, reliable, flexible asset tracking system including extensive reporting capabilities.
“With the new CAPS-TRAC? capabilities, food suppliers and manufacturers can now electronically capture, store and report on key data control points throughout their supply chain,” explains Keith Schall, director of Business Systems & Technology. “Doing so reduces manual processes and room for human error while complying with new regulations requiring more rigid data capture methods to ensure accuracy and accessibility in case of recalls.”
At the recent PACK EXPO tradeshow in Chicago, the company addressed the new food safety regulations and associated challenges in an education session entitled, Implementing an Asset Tracking System is Easier Than You Think – And It’s Key to Meeting New Regulations. Whilst introducing the concept of tracking as a way to support quality control programs, it also dispelled the common misconception that implementing a tracking solution is complex. Rob Welling, Darifair’s VP of supply chain, joined CAPS to discuss the benefits of implementing a comprehensive container tracking solution to help capture and record key quality data points. As a leader in the dairy industry for over 25 years, Darifair is a recognised supply chain innovator.
