iTradeNetwork Expands Industry-Leading Traceability Suite with TrueTrac, an Innovative Incident Management and Recall Tool for Buyers and Suppliers

iTradeNetwork

iTradeNetwork, the leading global provider of end-to-end supply chain management and intelligence solutions for the perishable food industry, is proud to introduce TrueTrac, an innovative incident management and food recall solution that instantly and precisely identifies the location of compromised products. With TrueTrac, buyers and suppliers will protect the health of consumers, mitigate the impact of food safety events, save time and money, and preserve their brand reputation. The State of the Industry According to the FDA, there are roughly 48 million cases of foodborne illness annually, and an estimated 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths resulting from these illnesses ( FDA ). These rising numbers have driven the FDA and CDC to become more stringent with food safety rules. Not only do suppliers and their trading partners need to manage the industry’s ever-changing regulations, but there is a growing need to provide consumers with quality, transparency, and freshness, with nearly 86% of Americans stating that transparency is more important to them than ever ( Shopify ). How iTradeNetwork Can Help The addition of TrueTrac to iTradeNetwork’s already robust iTracefresh solution suite helps supply chain participants capture critical traceability data to gain the visibility and insights they need to comply with regulations, lessen the impact of recalls, and ultimately grow their businesses. By regulating the way they handle incidents, buyers and suppliers can acquire valuable data in seconds, saving thousands of lives by pulling products from the shelves before they reach the consumer and reducing the cost of a recall by 50-95% ( Food Logistics ). With TrueTrac, suppliers and buyers can geographically analyze inbound or outbound shipments from the lot of origin to the final destination. The map-view feature allows customers to account for perishable products in real-time, so businesses can quickly identify products based on a number of metrics, including lot codes, to find exactly where the products are in the supply chain in a matter of seconds. Reports are configurable and enable users to find and export the data they need quickly. TrueTrac users can even identify where confirmed outbreaks from the CDC and FDA overlap with their own products within the supply chain, allowing for prompt interception and immediate incident management. Innovations like TrueTrac add to iTradeNetwork's reputation as a trusted leader and innovator in the traceability space. iTrade’s history as a technology partner has helped customers meet evolving regulations such as the Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard and the upcoming FSMA 204 requirements with customized traceability programs. “We felt confident in the iTracefresh solution being able to meet the final draft of FSMA 204 and that the [iTradeNetwork] team would be there to support on-boarding suppliers best if we worked further ahead of the implementation date,” says Mike Ferguson, Senior Vice President of Fresh at Topco. “Additionally, starting now ensures we [will] be on the leading edge of providing the ability to improve our freshness and respond more accurately and faster [to] recalls and product withdrawals or consumer advisories regarding the produce we source for our member companies. This makes us better for our members and our members better for their shoppers.” iTradeNetwork’s TrueTrac release is the latest of many innovations in the iTradeNetwork traceability platform, including Palletized Advance Ship Notices, Bio-Engineered Food Module, Safe Food for Canadians Act, and more. iTradeNetwork, Inc. is the leading global provider of supply chain management solutions for the food and beverage industry. Built upon deep industry expertise, a rich data foundation and the industries’ most extensive trading partner network, iTradeNetwork’s collaborative solutions allow distributors, manufacturers, operators, retailers, suppliers, and wholesalers of all sizes to reduce cost, grow revenue, and strengthen trading partner relationships.

Landmark Global Review of the Engineering Response to Covid-19 Calls for Action to Ensure Future Pandemic Resilience

Engineering X

Engineering X review of pandemic preparedness identifies key vulnerabilities Senior leaders endorse the need for comprehensive action by policymakers, business and academic leaders worldwide Systemic barriers—including a lack of collaboration mechanisms, insufficient data and skills, and limited understanding and consideration of the role of engineering—reduced the ability of engineers to deliver timely and effective responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a comprehensive review of the global engineering response, published today by Engineering X. The findings of the global review will today be presented to senior delegates from 30 countries during the annual conference of the International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences in Versailles, France. The Global review of the engineering response to COVID-19: lessons learned for preparedness and resilience, produced in partnership with Dalberg Advisors, was conceived by the Engineering X Pandemic Preparedness programme at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in November 2020 to learn lessons and make recommendations to ensure that a more systemic engineering response is put in place to improve preparedness for future pandemics. Ensuring that datasets and data systems used for decision-making are up-to-date and bias-free, equipping emergency response task forces with more engineering capability, and encouraging the use of open science and data sharing standards are just three of the actions recommended by the review group. Informed by data, case studies and comment from more than 40 countries, the review highlights the breadth of contributions made by engineers and engineering globally in responding to key challenges across sectors, disciplines, geographies, and across pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. It calls on governments, policy makers, public health actors, academia and funders, along with the engineering community, to identify and close structural gaps in resilience against future pandemics, to invest in skills, training and capacity of engineers all around the world, and to develop robust platforms for collaboration within engineering and between engineering and other disciplines. The review highlights transformational innovations in low resource contexts as well as world-changing advances in medical and communication technologies, the pivotal role of data collection, distribution and management, and the importance of applying a systems lens to complex multifaceted challenges. It identifies six major challenges during COVID-19 where engineers made key contributions: Providing high-quality and timely data in near real-time and in appropriate formats, leveraging big data and mobile data for modelling and contact tracing. Innovating rapidly to provide novel health solutions, in collaboration with scientists and clinicians, such as in the design of PPE, diagnostics, breathing aids, vaccines and digital health tools. Designing products and services for diverse environments and user bases to reduce inequality of access and outcomes, such as customised PPE or wastewater testing and vaccine delivery for low-resource settings. Pivoting existing industrial capacity and building new capacity to ramp up production of essential medical and non-medical products such as alcohol manufacturers making hand sanitisers and expanding local vaccine manufacture. Upgrading and streamlining global supply chains to help delivery of essential medical and non-medical products, such as cold chains and drones for last mile delivery of vaccines. Bolstering and ensuring the resilience of societal systems and infrastructure, such as energy and water supplies, or expanding connectivity and digital solutions for remote education or working. The report identifies key drivers that made engineers especially useful during the COVID-19 response, such as rallying around a shared sense of purpose, which empowered them to take risks and to innovate in unprecedented timeframes. For example, engineers from University College London (UCL) designed a breathing aid prototype in under 100 hours and partnered with Mercedes AMG, who repurposed their Formula 1 factories to produce 1,000 devices a day. The open-source design has been made available to local manufacturers around the world. Professor Peter Guthrie OBE FREng, Chair of the Engineering X Pandemic Preparedness board that commissioned the review, said: “As the COVID-19 virus and its impact continues to evolve, there is a need to reflect on the efficacy of our response to it so far and how things might be handled better in the future. Our hope is that we can use the insights provided by this truly global overview of the engineering response to COVID-19 to better integrate engineering skills and habits of mind into resilience policies and structures all around the world, to improve our recovery from the virus, and to help us on the path to a safer, more prepared and resilient future.” Professor Rebecca Shipley OBE, Director of the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Co-Lead of the UCL Ventura CPAP breathing device programme, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the pivotal role that engineers play in responding to public health emergencies and resilience planning. There are important lessons that we must learn around understanding the needs of providing healthcare in diverse, global settings and working collaboratively across sectors, listening and building trust. Now is the time for governments and international organisations to act on these lessons.” Sir Richard Feachem KBE FREng, Professor Emeritus of Global Health at the Institute for Global Health Sciences, University of California San Francisco, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has acted as a reminder that a global emergency requires a global response, and that no single country or discipline can tackle a crisis alone. This report reinforces this message and focuses on the role of engineering in this fight. It calls on the global community to learn lessons and act to improve our future pandemic response—creating better mechanisms for global collaboration and coordination, engaging with stakeholders from across disciplines, and developing the skills needed to prevent, prepare for and respond to pandemics.” End NB This press release and the Executive Summary of the global review are both available in French, Spanish and Arabic here: engineeringx.raeng.org.uk/pandemic-preparedness Notes for Editors Dalberg Advisors (2022).
