Track raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished products through automated reads with RFID gates, ensuring traceability for every process step without manual intervention. The system automatically records entries and exits for cold rooms, curing/drying rooms, intermediate zones, and the reception and shipping of goods. This enables control of dwell times, process sequences and real-time detection of operational deviations.

This integrated control of movements, processes and weights enables you to:

• Minimize bottlenecks.
• Reduce food waste.
• Ensure process compliance and improve real plant performance.
• Align the physical flow with the data recorded in your information systems.

Identify your products by batch or by item with RFID, and automate their management across the supply chain. This ensures food traceability, reduces operational errors and minimizes the risk of penalties. The identification strategy is defined based on product value, food safety criticality and the required level of control.

For high-value products, high-risk scenarios or strict regulatory requirements, item-level identification ensures individual traceability for each piece, automates records, prevents handling errors and creates a direct link between the physical and digital processes. For high-volume products or lower unit value, traceability is typically managed by batch or by grouping on a returnable asset (hooks, pallet boxes, crates, carts), enabling automated status changes without reducing operational efficiency.

This hybrid approach enables you to:

• Adapt the level of control to each item.
• Ensure regulatory compliance.
• Enable targeted recalls in the event of an incident.
• Enable automation of production and logistics processes without unnecessary overhead.

In the food industry, high-value products such as Iberian ham present one of the most demanding traceability scenarios. Across the different processes each piece goes through-slaughter, resting, trimming, grading, salting, curing-room in/out, larding, yield loss control, deboning (if applicable), and logistics-intensive handling is combined with manual records, resulting in a high risk of error.

Item-level identification with RFID automates event capture at every process step, digitizes plant flows and removes dependency on manual records. RFID gates integrated at cold-room access points and workstations ensure control of movements, dwell times and the operational sequence without human intervention. Integration with weighing systems automatically records potential yield losses, providing objective real-time data to assess the quality supplied by each supplier.

Automate food quality control across the entire production process—from receiving raw materials from your suppliers through each transformation phase—recording yield losses automatically and accurately, either by item or by batch, depending on the value and criticality of each article. For high-value or highly critical products (such as Iberian ham, premium cheeses or products with protected designation of origin), item-level control is achieved by identifying each piece individually with RFID tags and linking it to the supplier, source batch, and process. Weight variance captured via RFID scales provides objective information related to the real quality of the received product, enabling decisions based on reliable data.

For products managed by batch or grouping (such as sausages on hooks, industrial cheeses on carts, or fruit, vegetables and fish in pallet boxes or crates), control is applied to the asset that carries them (hook, pallet box, crate, cart), automatically recording yield losses throughout the process based on real data. Yield loss control becomes a key indicator of supplier performance and quality, enabling optimized purchasing, reduced losses, and confirmation that the product behaves as expected—automatically and without manual processes.

Your logistics assets (containers, pallet boxes, plastic crates, carts, cutter carts) are critical to your operations. Lack of control over them creates unaccounted-for losses, inefficiencies and production stoppages—especially in open flows where they are temporarily managed by third parties.

RFID identification not only tracks their real-time location and availability, it also enables automation of key production processes related to the raw materials or semi-finished goods they carry: automatic inbound/outbound records at docks or truck scales, individual or grouped weighing, control of product turning based on the production order (PO), wash certification to ensure hygienic conditions, and more. With RFID, these assets stop being passive elements and become a core operational component—eliminating packaging losses, reducing operational errors, optimizing your asset pool, and adding traceability and reliability to your processes, without manual intervention.

Lack of traceability control—both by item and by batch—creates critical risk for any food-sector company. The impact is not only direct economic loss from product losses or inefficient incident management, there are also wider consequences: reputational damage, loss of customer trust, deterioration of brand image, regulatory penalties, blocked distribution channels and broken commercial relationships.

Having real, reliable, automated traceability (either item-level or batch-based, depending on product criticality and value) provides control, brand protection and operational sustainability.

Our solution ensures food traceability in line with Regulations (EC) 178/2002 and 1169/2011, and aligned with IFS Food v8, ISO 22000, and Codex Alimentarius. It enables exhaustive control of origin, processes, movements and destination for each product or batch. In case of an incident, the system immediately identifies affected batches or units, locates their exact status, and executes a fast, targeted, efficient product recall—minimizing economic, operational and reputational impact.

RFID solutions are ready to connect with your food traceability software (ERP, WMS, MES). Deploy by area (lines, cold rooms, docks) without reworking processes or changing how you operate. Scalable, low-maintenance architectures for demanding environments such as the food industry.
