Transcript:

Today, we're talking about choosing the right equipment for your track-and-trace implementation, and in particular, talking about scalability and speed, because it doesn't have to be very complicated if you're doing only a few products for a minute that you're having to label with the serial number and then aggregate into higher-level packaging, such as a case or a pallet.

However, looking at this equipment behind me, this has the capability of applying individual serial number, lot number, expiry, at a rate of 1,000 pouches per minute. Now you can appreciate that at that speed, the electronic systems and the printing systems that support that unique serial number and information on the packages have to be able to keep up and that's not trivial. So, in our case, we had to be very careful about the partners that we chose and had to make sure that they could deliver with their equipment at the speeds that this equipment is capable of.

So, next video we'll talk a little bit about the actual electronic connection and how that information gets into the cloud so that it's available to our customers and to their downstream distributors.
