Monitor Cold Chain Environmental Conditions in Real-Time
FineLine’s variable data tags and QCtrak app utilize RFID technology to associate captured environmental data, such as temperature, with products across cold supply chains in industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare. This enables supply chain owners to manage data, track product history, and share real-time information and alerts.
Real-Time Tracking of Environmental Conditions
Ensure Quality Control and Compliance Throughout the Supply Chain
FineLine’s QCtrak app enables the capture of real-time environmental data—such as temperature— allowing precise monitoring and quality assurance throughout the supply chain. Whether for pharmaceuticals, food, or healthcare, it ensures that perishable goods remain within optimal conditions, reducing the risk of spoilage, compliance issues, and product degradation.
End-to-End Visibility of Product Life Cycles
Access Lifecycle Events Including GPS Tracking and Sensor Readings
Access item lifecycle events via the QCtrak app which provides full lifecycle visibility, allowing supply chain owners to access historical data, including GPS transport data and sensor logs, even after the product has been shipped. This continuous data flow helps improve traceability, reduce operational risks, and enhance decision-making throughout the supply chain.
- REAL-TIME DATA CAPTURE
- SEAMLESS DATA SHARING
- FULL LIFECYCLE VISIBILTY
Item Identification and Data Sharing
Seamless Tracking with RFID, Barcodes, and Real-Time Data Sharing
The QCtrak app supports both RFID and 2D barcodes for unique item identification, allowing for flexible tracking regardless of the system in place. Data captured via RFID or barcodes can be easily shared across the supply chain through APIs, EDI, or automated alerts, ensuring seamless communication and real-time updates.
Environmental Data Managment
Effortlessly Manage Condition Settings And Lifecycle Data
Supply chain owners can configure and manage temperature templates and settings through the QCtrak app, ensuring that the right conditions are monitored throughout the product’s journey. Data from sensors is securely linked to the RFID tag, providing complete lifecycle information that travels with the product from shipment to consumer.
Industry Partnerships
GS1
FineLine has partnered with GS1 to provide solutions and services that support the implementation of GS1 standards across industries and applications and serve as a resource for businesses seeking assistance with implementing GS1 standards, barcode labeling, RFID tagging, electronic data interchange (EDI), data synchronization, and other aspects of supply chain management. Solution Partners undergo training and certification from GS1 to ensure their expertise and capabilities in delivering solutions that comply with GS1 standards and best practices.
GS1 - EPC
FineLine UHF RFID products follow GS1 Consumer Privacy Guidelines. The EPC symbol is designed to indicate that a RAIN RFID tag has been encoded in compliance with GS1’s EPC Tag Data Standard (TDS) using GS1’s EPC UHF Gen2 Air Interface Protocol for interrogator/tag communications.
ISO/IEC 29160
ISO/IEC 29160 specifies the design and use of the RFID Emblem to identify products, product packaging, transport units, returnable transport items, and freight containers employing RF tags. The symbol indicates the presence of the RFID tag incorporated within the packaging, container, or equipment without identifying the specific air interface or data structure employed.
Auburn University RFID Lab
FineLine supports and collaborates with Auburn RFID Lab ARC program to meet and exceed levels of performance and quality necessary to provide ROI benefits to the end users.
FineLine actively supports ALEC submission and validation programs to help suppliers ensure that their RFID-tagged item meets all the industry requirements.
RAIN™ Alliance
FineLine is an active member of RAIN RFID, a global alliance promoting the universal adoption of UHF RFID technology. RAIN uses the GS1 UHF Gen2 protocol which ISO/IEC has standardized as 18000-63. The word RAIN—an acronym derived from RAdio frequency IdentificatioN—is intended as a nod to the link between UHF RFID and the cloud, where RFID-based data can be stored, managed and shared via the Internet. A RAIN RFID solution uses a reader to read and write a tagged item, manage the data and take action.
FSC®
FineLine facilities are FSC certified and we use a large selection of FSC papers.
Forests connect us all. They sustain life on Earth. They provide the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide shelter for plants and animals. Life as we know it depends on forests.
