GS1 and PTI compliance are required and many solution providers fail to meet those compliant standards. Being a long-time technology partner on both the PTI Steering Committee and GS1 Standards committee, AFS Technologies is an active leader in the produce traceability movement. AFS Technologies was profiled in a recent feature by manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, in Automation & Controls Today magazine.
The Phoenix-based technology leader offers a WMS (warehouse management system) solution strategically developed to align with evolving industry standards and requirements. As a result, distributors are able to rely on a single WMS tool to gain better visibility into food traceability, automate data throughout the warehouse with a single scan, and ensure PTI compliance both now and in the future.
Joe Bellini, CEO of AFS Technologies shared, “The AFS WMS release handles PTI and Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) compliance right out-of-the-box for 3PL companies. Companies have the ability to scan a GS1 label once, extract multiple data elements including GTIN, lot and quantity and automatically parse all of the embedded data into the WMS solution. This single scan functionality results in 99 percent plus accurate data and reduces scans by 300 percent, adding value throughout the supply chain as well as downstream for the customer.”
