Supply & Demand Chain Executive, the only publication
covering the entire global supply chain, and Food Logistics, the
only publication exclusively dedicated to covering the movement of
product through the global cold food supply chain, named PLM
TrustLink® winner of this year’s Overall Top Supply Chain
Projects award, which profiles innovative case study-type
projects designed to automate and streamline the supply chain.
This award honors PLM TrustLink for its comprehensive,
cloud-based IoT management track and trace solution for the cold
supply chain, in relation to the ground-breaking study
monitoring the frozen food mango supply chain. This project
involved the sustainability of the frozen mango by data collection
at all locations from harvest to consumer delivery of the frozen
product. The data needed for Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) was
collected during the 12 phases between production in Peru and
delivery in the U.S. The project objective was to collect supply
chain information and identify opportunities to reduce the carbon
footprint in distribution, in order to save time and money for all
stakeholders.
“We are honored to win this prestigious award for our study on
the sustainability impact across the supply chain,” said Don Durm,
VP Customer Solutions. “Together with The Ohio State University,
PLM TrustLink® has collected and analyzed data through all phases
of the frozen mango supply chain from Peru to Ohio.
During this 6-month process, we collected temperature, location,
and time to freeze throughout this journey.”
“The past 12 months has seen companies within the supply chain
and logistics space upgrade, enhance, adopt and adapt in order to
achieve greater efficiency along the chain. Companies implemented
others' software and technology to work smarter, together. Their
partnerships cultivated resilience and placed a spotlight on
projects designed to make the supply chain space safer and more
efficient,” says Marina Mayer, Editor-in-Chief of Supply &
Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics.
