Current State vs Future State Comparison
Current State
(Traditional)- Identify and document all suppliers and their food safety certifications.
- Implement a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) plan that outlines critical control points in the food production process.
- Monitor temperature and environmental conditions during production, storage, and transportation using manual logs or basic digital tools.
- Conduct regular supplier audits to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
- Track product movement through the supply chain using barcodes or RFID tags.
- Maintain records of allergen control measures and ensure proper labeling.
- In the event of a food safety issue, initiate a recall process by tracing affected products back through the supply chain.
- Document all findings and actions taken for compliance and reporting purposes.
Characteristics
- • Excel
- • Manual logs
- • Basic temperature monitoring devices
- • ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle)
Pain Points
- ⚠ Manual data entry is time-consuming
- ⚠ Process is error-prone
- ⚠ Limited visibility into process status
- ⚠ Limited integration between systems results in data silos.
- ⚠ High labor costs associated with manual tracking and audits.
Future State
(Agentic)The orchestrator agent collects data from the Supplier Compliance Agent, Environmental Monitoring Agent, and Traceability Agent. The Environmental Monitoring Agent uses IoT sensors to gather real-time data on temperature and conditions, while the Supplier Compliance Agent verifies certifications and schedules audits. The Traceability Agent tracks product movement and prepares for recalls if necessary. The Data Analytics Agent analyzes all collected data and provides insights to the orchestrator, which then communicates necessary actions to relevant stakeholders.
Characteristics
- • System data
- • Historical data
Benefits
- ✓ Reduces time for Monitoring & Tracking for Farm-to-fork traceability
- ✓ Improves accuracy
