What is Traceability Systems
Traceability systems record and verify the complete history of a product from raw materials through manufacturing, distribution, and sale. They enable recall management (which batches are affected), authenticity verification (is this real), compliance with regulations (food safety, pharmaceutical), and consumer transparency (where did this come from). Traceability can be as simple as batch numbers on packaging or as complex as blockchain-based systems with IoT sensors tracking conditions throughout the supply chain.
