A new traceability solution has been launched that will provide 100 per cent accuracy. The Bizerba Niche Systems partnership, a partnership between Niche Food Systems and Bizerba, has announced that it has integrated Image ID’s Visidot, the world’s first Supply Chain Traceability (SCT) solution to track multiple assets with 100 per cent accuracy, with its Nucleus sales order processing system and weighing and labelling technology.

The integrated solution will offer a turnkey order processing and traceability solution for food industry businesses, and will enable manufacturers to realise the full benefits of compliance with food traceability legislation and meet retailer mandates, while achieving greater supply chain efficiencies.

Visidot provides a reliable and cost-effective alternative to RFID for food manufacturers and processors, as it delivers an automatic, high-speed, high-accuracy acquisition of hundreds of labels in a single read. Niche Food Systems has been providing businesses in the UK food industry with high quality, effective software and technological solutions for over ten years.

The partnership will offer a complete service, and will install, setup, integrate, give training, and provide “go live” cover and on-going support for the solution. The system is linked to the process control systems on the factory floor, so that faulty products or incorrect orders can be stopped immediately, before entering the manufacturing production process or dispatch.

Rafi Pilosoph, VP of marketing for ImageID noted “The Bizerba Niche Systems Partnership and ImageID both bring specialist expertise and experience, resulting in a unique solution that is easily implemented and offers instant business benefits. With the system, suppliers can build reputations for fast and accurate order dispatch, reducing buyer churn, and attracting new business.”

Bizerba is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of weighing/labelling and slicing equipment for the food industry. Mark Glenister, financial director at the company, said: “Visidot is the only solution on the market that offers complete accuracy, and coupled with Niche’s and Bizerba’s years of expertise in our respective sectors, comprises a truly compelling proposition for UK manufacturers, with tangible business benefits.”
