Realizing paperless and enhancing traceability with smart cards.

Introduction video of the case study.

Identifying individual products during production with smart cards.

Reducing environmental impact and cutting running costs.

Background of the implementation

The use of paper leads to waste issues, causing environmental impact.

To enhance traceability by discarding labels after use, we have been using barcode-printed labels for individual product identification during production. However, discarding labels puts a strain on the environment.

Considering streamlining and automation to reduce unnecessary tasks.

There is a labor-intensive process of manually removing labels after the products are completed.

Enhancing product hygiene management.

Labels do not peel off cleanly, leading to product contamination.

The deciding factor for implementation

Achieving paperless operation.

Smart cards can be used as an alternative for individual product identification management during production, eliminating the need for paper.

Enhancing traceability.

By managing individual product identification during production with smart cards, it is possible to manage IDs for each process and enhance traceability.

Impact after implementation

Reducing running costs.

Smart cards can be reused and do not require batteries, eliminating the need for paper and reducing running costs.

Activities as a company aiming to reduce environmental impact.

By going paperless, we were able to achieve environmental consideration as an eco-friendly company.

Improving product hygiene.

Not having to directly label the products has eliminated the risk of dirtying them, leading to an improvement in hygiene.
