Track and Trace is an English term that refers to the process of ensuring traceability of a product throughout a specific process or shipment. This term encompasses tracking the journey and history of the product from its source to its final destination. The Track and Trace process aims to provide traceability, ensure security, and prevent counterfeiting.
It is widely used, especially in industries such as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, food, medical, logistics, and similar sectors. This process involves assigning a unique identity to each product, using tracking devices, maintaining data records, and sharing data. The movements and status of the product are continuously updated and made traceable.
Track and Trace is important for tracking the origin and history of products, enhancing product safety, and complying with legal regulations. This process facilitates the isolation and recall of faulty products while enabling consumers to receive safe products and manufacturers to track their own products.
Track and Trace processes are widely used in many industries, including the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, medical devices, plant protection products, vaccines and serums, logistics, and transportation.
