ShoreKart Trace Register

The global seafood industry, worth approximately $500 billion, faces a difficult traceability challenge given its long and complex supply chain. 

ShoreKart is introducing a Traceability Platform(STR) with blockchain technology & IOT Sensors for fisheries data to trace the global seafood supply chain.

Discover who caught your Fish, Where it was caught and how

1. Capture / Purchase Product

ShoreKart uses technology to trace its seafood products from the point of sale back to their point of origin, providing information on the fisheries and fishermen profiles are recorded at the vessel/dock, including information such as:

  • Vessel
  • Captain/Crew
  • Area of Capture
  • Catch method/Gear
  • Grade
  • Species
  • Weight and Date

2. Receiving

At receiving, each fish is graded and tagged with human-readable data.

  1. Purchasing Bar Code is scanned and data captured to Inventory Tag
  2. Record temperature (and grade when applicable)
  3. Inventory tag printed, includes original barcode
  4. Storage is recorded in digitally monitored temperature controlled environment

3. Issue and Processing

Each fish is individually issued for processing to fulfill specific orders. The inventory tag is scanned and the issuance tag is generated with cut specifications

  1. Electronically issue product to processing tracks time in inventory and when processed
  2. Products cut to specific customer requests
  3. Fish and tags (barcode) travel together to the Weigh, Package, and Label station

4. Weigh, Package and Label

After issuance and processing, each piece is weighed, barcoded, and grade is examined for quality control.

  1. Processed fish is weighed, and barcode information is updated, including any re-grading information
  2. Each fillet/loin is issued a new barcode linked to barcode of raw material purchased and received
  3. Vacuum package is labeled with product information and tracking barcode

5. Order Fulfillment to Exact Specifications

Each cut is individually scanned to the specific customer work order.

  1. Scan tracking barcode to work order, linking raw material, finished good to exact carton number and invoice
  2. we makes a strong effort to eliminate packaging that is not environmentally responsible, each piece of fish is linked to the carton, packaging slip, and invoice
  3. Carton Label generated with a unique ID, linking carton, goods, customer, and source for full end to end traceability

6. Trace Product

Telling stories about
fishermen or farmers on the product packaging allows for increased prices and promotes brand loyalty with
consumers. For example, small-scale fishing organizations that have implemented consumer-facing traceability systems have seen increases of 18%–30% in margins.
