The
QR codes are stand for ‘Quick Response’ codes. Whenever we buy something we can
see coded print with some typical square boxes and patterns that are called the
QR codes. The shopkeeper scanned the QR codes every time when the products are
about to make the billing. At present, the QR codes are not only useful but
also very secure. In this section, there will be an elaborative description
that will help you to reach out to the benefits of QR codes utilization to
improve the transparency in the supply chain management system. In this case,
the ‘Food Ecosystem’ provides the best food protection management strategies
using the advanced technology called the blockchain.
What
does a QR code includes?
The
patterned QR codes are now a day has become widely in use. Every product has
its own quick response codes that consist al the detailed information about the
product like; the manufacture date, details of the product, part numbers and
details, batch number, dates, history, and other related crucial information.
The codes are generally pasted on the products as well as on the packaging as
well.
Why
the QR codes are efficient for a better supply chain?
Let’s
explain it with an understandable example. Suppose, you have found a product as
per your preference and want to buy it. The tracking-based QR code from the
company will provide you every single detail along with a real-time update for
the database system. After that, you make the payment for the product and go
for the scanning and you will get to see more about the product details without
any manual interference. This is why the supply chain management system is
hugely in use.
Prohibits
the trespassers and terminates wastage- The quick response codes have become more
beneficial to improve the quality of the supply chain management system while
creating the protection ring around the food products. Most of the scams are
being seen while supplying the food products from one place to another. The QR
codes help not only to store the products’ but also the serial numbers to
maintain the products counting on a line. This specific feature will eliminate
the scams while supplying the food items along with reduces the chances of
wastages.
Provides
tracking and tracing- The given quick response codes are pasted on the products
and packaging also to get spontaneous tracking. The real-time tracking of
transportation will keep the supply chain more transparent and increase the
reliability of the logistics companies as well. This is also an impressive
advantage of having the codes. On top of that, blockchain technology is
there for more effective results.
Apart
from this, as the codes include more detailed data about the products along
with tracking features thus, the whole process from start to end stays under
real-time tracking and make it easier to find the loaded transports rather than
calling up to different people for gathering updates. In short, it is a great
combination to revive the food protection strategy system and ‘Food Ecosystem’
does that.
