ANTARES VISION GROUP LAUNCHES NEW “DIAMIND CONNECT” PLATFORM PROVIDING TRACEABILITY, CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT AND SUPPLY CHAIN DIGITALIZATION
The software is designed to guarantee the monitoring of the Food, Beverage, Cosmetics, Textile and Chemical supply chains, also in accordance with the parameters of the Digital Product Passport
DIAMIND, the integrated and modular ecosystem of solutions of Antares Vision Group – the Italian multinational, leading provider in Track & Trace systems and quality control, which guarantee the transparency of products and supply chains through integrated data management – has been extended with the addition of DIAMIND Connect, the new platform to manage traceable data and production processes, designed to guarantee end-to-end sustainability, complete traceability and customer engagement for businesses in the Food, Beverage, Cosmetics, Textile and Chemical sectors, with a bespoke approach to the specific needs of each segment.
The prominent innovations of DIAMIND Connect include modularity (each software module can be adopted separately, independently or in combination with the others, to best manage the production environment and to follow its development step by step) and scalability, which enables the platform to be used/connected at different levels, from a single machine to a plant, and up to corporate level. It can be integrated with existing IT infrastructure, including a wide array of legacy systems.
The platform facilitates the traceability of all information relating to the supply chain, starting from the raw materials, passing through each stage of transformation and processing, ending with the creation of a Unique Digital Identity for each single sellable product unit. These identifiers can be connected to various identification media (QR Code, Datamatrix, NFC, RFID…) and enables the user to obtain, on one hand, the monitoring of the product throughout the supply chain, with the goal of reducing counterfeiting risks, combatting grey markets and, on the other hand, to guarantee the transparency of production process quality, documenting efficiency and sustainability.
The product identification code (data-carrier) can have different uses depending on the context: before product release, it can provide support to logistics or sampling; after purchase, the identifier can provide information and interact with the end consumer; at the end of the lifecycle, the data-carrier can enable the packaging recycling process.
DIAMIND Connect already meets the requirements of the Digital Product Passport (DPP), a bona-fide digital passport, which will provide each product with a unique identity, connected to one or more data sources. The DPP will contain information relating to the entire lifecycle of the product in question (origin, composition etc.), which can be shared with all of the parties involved in the supply chain, such as competent authorities, economic operators and end consumers.
Furthermore, thanks to the collection and availability of the data, including sustainability data, throughout the entire supply chain, the platform is an enabler of the circular economy, analysing the environmental impact of the product during its “journey” within the supply chain (e.g. carbon footprint and water consumption). It therefore allows end-to-end sustainability, transforming raw date into valuable information for the customer.
