Matís ohf. recently started work on a large Nordic project, e-REK (e-TRACE), which works with research companies in Norway and Sweden.
The project is for two years and the main goal is to define, develop and implement traceability systems where food safety information is integrated with other real-time traceability information. The main purpose of such a system is to ensure complete traceability and at the same time increase product safety.
The partners of this project have recently developed a system that can ensure product traceability and this system is based on a standard from EPCGlobal and is based on RFID (Radio Frequency IDentificaton) technology.
Matís will be responsible for developing and adapting the traceability system to the typical process of marine products from processing to distributors, as well as defining the safety aspects that are important in such a system. Project manager Matís ohf. in this project is Sveinn Margeirsson, sveinn.margeirsson@matis.is.
