Traceability:
Compliance without sacrificing productivity
2. AFS TECHNOLOGIES WMS FEATURES
Traceabilty
Tracing history of an item by means of documented
recorded identification.
GS1 Global Traceability Standard defines minimum set
of traceability requirements within business processes
to achieve full chain traceability.
From grower to manufacturer. To warehouse and final
end source.
In event of food outbreak, sharing of traceability
information between trading partners in supply chain is
critical to ensure a targeted and effective recall.

#6: GTIN is an identifier developed by GS1. Brand owners assign GTIN to their products to provide full supply Global Trade Item Number chain visibility. A product must be configured for Lot to also be configured for GTIN. If the product is configured for GTIN, then when inventory is received or created the GTIN will be required for that product.
Scanning GS1 and UCC-128 (Multi-Data) Barcodes. These barcodes allow manufacturer or packers to include multiple data elements in the same single barcode. For example, a meat packer may include the GTIN, lot, weight, pack date, and a box serial number. A produce packer, may include the GTIN, lot, and quantity on the pallet. A manufacturer may use a standard shipping container code for the pallet identification. Having the ability to grab all this data with a single scan can greatly increase productivity, traceability, and a return on WMS investment. With the release of Enterprise WMS 2014, the system parses ALL the current application identifiers (or AI for short) and will react to and store data relative to the product including GTIN, lot, weight (in kilos or pounds), count in container, pack date, expiration date, serial number, and the shipping container depending on the configuration of the product. These barcodes can also reference pallets, pallet contents, or individual cases. This means that if a GS1 barcode is on the pallet for the GTIN, lot, and quantity, a single scan will capture ALL that information without having to enter the GTIN, or the lot, or even the quantity on the pallet. This element plays a critical role in standards in the Product Traceability Initiative. In short, this can provide single scan traceability.
#7: while developing a standardized industry approach to enhance the speed and efficiency of traceability systems for the future. Enterprise WMS 2014 includes complete compliance to ALL seven milestones. Functionality which gives compliance includes: PTI Hybrid Pallet. Handles the inbound and outbound processing of PTI defined Hybrid Pallet Tags, including:
Implementing a barcode already widely used in the food industry (GS1)
Using existing GS1 Standard data elements inside the barcode (scanning GS1 and UCC128 Labels)
Minimizing the information shown on the label to attain supply chain traceability
Determining what information is necessary on the label
Creating labels that meet the needs of the entire supply chain
Providing receivers with standards from which they can build their pallet label scanning processes
Voice Pick Box Codes. Per PTI technical best practices, customers using voice picking can confirm individual box GTIN/Lot information by use of a Voice Pick Box code. On inbound the WMS system calculates and stores Voice Pick Box codes for use later in the voice pick process. On outbound the WMS system validates and associates GTIN/Lot information from the Voice Pick Box Codes.
PTI Box Labels. Individual case labels printed per quantity for an item.
