Mark your calendars for October 21-22, when the Axia Institute will host its annual Value Chain Summit: Traceability Across Value Chains in Midland, MI. 

During this year’s Summit, we will explore supply chain visibility and traceability. We’ll start by discussing the current challenges in supply chain visibility, such as a lack of real-time data and incomplete data from partners, and how global standards provide a foundation for solutions in healthcare, food and agriculture, and manufacturing.

Our Summit will explore mandates in the U.S. and Europe, and how solutions that are compliant foster trust and transparency with consumers. All the talk of a product’s journey wouldn’t be possible without technology, so we’ll discuss emerging technologies of traceability and visibility like RFID, blockchain and the Internet of Things.

Axia will also unveil research developments achieved within the past year, including from Phase II of Axia’s Pharma End-to-End Pilot and an update on the Digital Labeling/e-Leaflet Consortium. Perhaps the best part of the Summit? Whether you’re a first-time attendee or it’s your fifth Summit, the in-person connections made in Midland help build collaborations that last well beyond the two days spent here.
