Transparency in the supply chain
A transparency model in the dairy industry from milk collection to goods receipt in the retail trade
THE INITIAL SITUATION
Does a digital traceability solution make sense for the dairy industry?
Consumers demand transparent customer information. Digital traceability processes can support the credibility of consumers towards strong brands and ensure greater trust between the individual links in the food supply chain. In a research project with the University of Zurich and the think tank Dezentrum, Foodways is evaluating the potential applications of blockchain technology for greater transparency in the dairy industry.
OUR SOLUTION APPROACH
A prototype for testing possible applications
As part of the explorative research project, Foodways is researching possible applications of blockchain technology to increase transparency. Using a prototype technology, processes are being analyzed and potentials identified with the practice partner Molkerei Fuchs AG. The results will be discussed with representatives of the food industry in order to examine their future benefits and practical suitability.
