We are closely connected with food safety and other audit activities and can begin an initial assessment of your capabilities and needs.

Ryan Systems has signed an agreement to work with iGPS as they swing their focus in a more integrated temperature monitoring and integration direction that includes installing Intelleflex RFID temperature monitoring solutions directly into the plastic pallet. This solution will allow for temperature monitoring at the pallet level for better tracking and monitoring as pallets go in different directions and on different carriers through the food supply chain.
Ryan Systems, Intelleflex, and Global Tracking Systems are currently working to implement a cold chain tracking system throughout the wine transportation sector. This system will run through the spring of 2013 with reports and status updates available here. This is a low cost, recyclable, sustainable effort that will eventually provide shippers with control over shipping processes and link to local data sets using the iFSS server solution.
