Avery Dennison Intelligent Labels and VeChain took this opportunity to showcase advanced Blockchain and IoT solutions in front of these vast groups of attendees at the international trade fair.
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed serious threats to the food industry where most of the food supply chains have “visibility gaps” between the initial suppler and the Internal systems of the clients. To bridge this gap, a blockchain-enabled food supply chain has been designed jointly by the Avert Dennison and VeChain. The blockchain-enabled food supply chain will have end-to-end visibility with the food supply chain that will offer full transparency and traceability to the customers.
The two platforms, namely, Avery Dennison Intelligent Labels and VeChain teamed up to showcase this ToolChain powered food chain supply solution on the IOTE forum. The IoT solutions will integrate real food products like fresh vegetables dairy products and other imported foods with digital identities so that they can be easily tracked.
Avery Dennison, with its smart label products and VeChain with its advanced blockchain and IoT solutions together, will make the food supply chain more effective by imbibing more trust and confidence between the various food brands and the customers. It will also enable food companies to understand the importance of end-to-end lifecycle management for various products.
The duo will offer full food value supply chain solutions that range from consulting, assessment, integration of digital services that will enable enterprises irrespective of their scale and size to manage their digital transformation.
IOTE 2020 saw a smart adaptation of the IoT applications and solutions merged into the ecosystem of the food supply chain.

For this, the customers also don’t mind paying 37% extra premium to companies that can guarantee a fully transparent and traceable food supply chain.
