LabelTrac™: The Vanguard for PTI Compliance
Current industry initiatives are encouraging industry-wide labeling standards for all crops entering the supply chain, and no traceability system can be effective without accurate product identification in the field. With the LabelTrac system and the smart, innovative LabelTrac Tool Box, being compliant just got a lot simpler.
The complete system provides technology for field harvesting operations where labeling of cartons, reusable plastic containers (RPCs), or bins is desired. LabelTrac is delivered in a sturdy, hand-held field Tool Box and can be used at actual time of harvest or a central packing facility. The LabelTrac system utilizes GS1 standards to identify agricultural products in the field at their point of origin. Additionally, LabelTrac brings your operation into full compliance with Milestones 4 & 5 of the Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI).

A Sturdy Tool Box
The sturdy LabelTrac Tool Box contains a rugged hand-held computer, a field label printer, a power converter for AC (110 volt) or DC (12 volt) power sources, a user manual, and a storage compartment to store and print labels.
When connected to the Internet, the hand-held device synchronizes with the TRUETRAC Console to transfer data from your secure database. When the information is downloaded, you are ready to print labels in the field.
A Flexible System
Information can be synchronized on demand. Changing harvest conditions is not a problem for the LabelTrac system, as it can accommodate switching fields, locations, commodities, pack styles, or sizes as needed. You decide when to print, as labels can be printed just in time or far in advance of actual harvest.
And here’s another unique innovation: Any LabelTrac Tool Box in use by any harvesting company can connect at any time to any shipper on the TRUETRAC system. Secure access is granted to the harvesting company and administered by the licensed user through the TRUETRAC Console.
The TRUETRAC information platform works across companies where all users can connect to anyone else on the TRUETRAC system. The power of the network lets participating companies cooperate with each other with the flip of a switch.
This one-of-a-kind system architecture allows contracted harvesting companies to print accurate GTIN labels for any shipper on the TRUETRAC system. Marketing companies and cooperatives can leverage the platform for their grower-packer-shippers base. This flexible system translates into efficiency because the packer only needs one system, even if their product is marketed through several sales organizations using several GTIN numbering systems. This unique feature and the secure network let’s industry cooperatives, marketing companies, brokers and associations adopt the TRUETRAC system with ease across their entire membership.
