Lowry Announces Secure New Produce Traceability
Solution
ORLANDO, FLORIDA October 24,
2008 - Lowry Computer Products today announced the
launch of Secure
Visibility, an inventory management and lot traceability solution for the
produce industry. Focused on the grower, packer/shipper and retailers,
trading partners can capture and share product traceability information in
real-time. Built around GS1 BarCode and EPCglobal RFID standards, Secure Visibility provides a
comprehensive set of mobility solutions that adheres to the Produce
Traceability Initiative's compliance plan for standard traceability for the
entire produce supply chain.
Lowry's set of Secure
Visibility Solutions grew out of the produce industry's product traceability
initiatives. Working in step with industry leaders in establishing
standardized food safety and quality certification programs- such as PMA,
United Fresh, SQF (Safe Quality Food) 2000- Lowry has created a 'track and trace'
lot traceability solution for growers, pack/shippers, distributors and
retailers. Secure Visibility, which is built on Microsoft BizTalk Server R2,
allows users to capture relevant information pertaining to the produce supply
chain in real-time, using RFID or bar code. Once the data is captured, users
have immediate visibility, allowing
them to meet their
responsibility in delivering fresh traceable food products from farm to fork.
"Secure
Visibility is an ideal platform for the produce industry to initiate
standards based track and trace", commented Michael Lowry, President of
Lowry Computer Products. "Lowry has developed a complete set of
solutions built around GS1 BarCode and EPCglobal systems as well as the PMA Traceability Guide.
An integrated traceability solution is critical to increased security and
effectiveness in the produce supply chain. Secure Visibility can play a
pivotal role in achieving this."
Secure Visibility
offers both case-level and pallet level produce traceability information for

Guide, Secure Visibility supports GS1 guidelines and handles critical data
