Jack Link's Beef Jerky Gets RFID for Wal-Mart Shipments
Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision is integrating Jack Link's Beef Jerky's pallet-level RFID tags shipping from the snack manufacturer to Wal-Mart stores. Jack Link's Beef Jerky is a meat manufacturer and therefore must meet U.S. Department of Agriculture traceability requirements.
According to InformationWeek:
Although Jack Link's Beef Jerky has never experienced an actual meat recall, it carries out frequent mock recalls that show it takes between 12 and 16 hours to manually track every case that came out of one specific lot recall. That's because the company needs to track the customers it shipped to as well as sales orders to which the shipment is tied. "I'm shooting from the hip, but I bet with RFID we can get this processes in under a half an hour," Paepke says.
