How Pass-Wise provides the building blocks for supply chain traceability
Our service Pass-Wise provides manufacturers with the foundations to enable supply chain traceability, provide trusted claims about the product, and ensure compliance with EU legislations.
Pass-Wise enables the issuing of identities for millions of unique batches and/or items. Any product at item level can receive a unique identifier whether it is an appliance, bottle, steel bar, as well as each shipment container at batch level, whether it is a pallet, box or drum. And each unique identifier is linked to a unique weblink with the individualised Digital Product Passport. To create the physical link the weblink and identifier is encoded in a QR-code, which is placed for items on the product itself, and for batches on the shipment container and/or its documentation.
The advantage of implementing identities and DPPs at the item or batch level, is that it allows manufacturing input data to be directly linked to DPPs for each items or batch. This is achieved using production data from manufacturing IT systems using event timestamps. Unlike product model DPPs, which are not unique to individual physical items and cannot be linked to specific events. Item or batch level DPPs enable traceability and the establishment of a chain of custody. This makes it significantly easier to make specific traceability based claims and/or certifications about the produced item or batch, such as about the origin or quality of its material or component inputs. For example, to facilitate claims about organic content, recycled content, labour standards or sourcing practices.
How PassWise implements data traceability for supply chains
Manufacturers can with PassWise introduce the components & materials contained in their product in their DPP, that form the inputs used at a specific facility, as well as any certificates from a reputable 3rd party certification scheme, both at product output level and at product input level per component or material. This makes it possible to link both sides, calculate an accurate mass balance, and define a chain of custody for the facility, one level up and down from a supply chain perspective.
The input component and material data in our DPPs is currently defined at a product model level, with the possibility to create tens of thousands of product model variations, so that these can be created based on variation of inputs and suppliers using our API connector. An item or batch level DPP can thus inherit product model DPP data with input variants enabling facility input to product output traceability.
PassWise will soon also allow for defining even more specific variations of this data at the item and/or batch level, by allowing unique variations in inputs to be introduced at material and component level per unique item and/or batch level DPP, using our API connector.
Coming soon: PassWise and TrustWise will provide for full supply chain traceability
EcoWise is also working on developing a decentralised end-to-end traceability system, for supply chains from raw materials and/or recycled materials up to the final manufacturer across Tiers 1 to 6. This will be soon made available based on our TrustWise product, using a flexible interoperable way of linking data across supply chains including data integration options for other decentralised identity and data management systems.
