Transparency, traceability, and trust are the three key elements of the growing movement toward sustainability in our food chain. In a world where provenance is increasingly critical, many companies in the food industry are turning to blockchain technology to drive transparency and trust, as its distributed, decentralized system is ideal for tamper-proof record-keeping and data. However, can it really help solve the so-called "global food supply chain crisis"?

Find out how Fujitsu and Foundation Earth are co-creating a new reality for traceable supply chains and ecolabelling, combining continuous research with high-quality data. Foundation Earth is leading the charge to help businesses build a more resilient and environmentally sustainable food system while giving consumers the tools they need to make sustainable buying choices.

Hear from Foundation Earth CEO Cliona Howie and Declan Ferguson, Research, Development, & Technical Director at Finnebrogue Artisan, on how end-to-end transparency—from farm to fork—is defining the future of sustainable food production. And gain insights from Dom Ferrara how Fujitsu Track & Trust solution is providing traceable food-related data, enabling quality and safety for the end consumer and enabling the food industry to tackle business decisions and innovate towards ESG goals.

Transparency and traceability in the food supply chain: a data-driven approach

Automation strategies are established as a key part of digital transformation. AI Document Processing is now presenting a new opportunity to get maximum value from these strategies by adding an additional dimension to how data is captured and interpreted. 

From the legal sector to healthcare, visionary enterprises are integrating AI Document Processing into business process automation to streamline data capture – then applying AI to interpret this data, using context and learning. 

Organizations can save time and cost by automating error-prone, repetitive work. This means personnel can be refocused on more rewarding, higher-value activities. 

AI Document Processing also brings sustainability to the forefront, even in traditionally paper-intensive industries such as legal and accounting – through automating processes, avoiding the need to re-print lengthy documents simply for manual data extraction, and can reduce the number of documents that must be legally retained over the years.

How AI is driving sustainability in information management

Insights from computer vision systems enable high street retailers to get to know their customers better, deliver improved service, and prevent shrinkage and costly in-store incidents.

Reinventing retail through data-driven insights

Hyperledger Global Forum is the largest annual gathering of the Hyperledger community all across the globe – a reference and a unique opportunity for those involved or interested in using, developing, or learning more about Hyperledger’s open-source enterprise blockchain technologies.

This year’s edition took place in Dublin, from September 12 to 14, and offered the opportunity for more than 700 users and contributors from across the world to join, network, bond, and collaborate with ideas, promote their work and innovations, and take part on the agenda covering a mix of blockchain and blockchain-related technologies, projects, and cross-industry keynotes and panels.  

Chris Pilling, Principal Consultant at Fujitsu, explains at the keynote panel “Blockchain in Action at Allianz, DTCC, and Fujitsu” that the future of this technology is to be so integrated that it’s no longer an issue, but a standard technology adopted widely that is pushing businesses to adapt and transform from the inside out.

Organizations are increasingly using data and insight as a shared asset across the business ecosystem. The improved use of data and more importantly the creation of insights and the resulting more intelligent decisions open fresh possibilities and business models in both new and established industries. More and more organizations are becoming data-centric, and focusing on using data more effectively, more efficiently, and more intelligently.
As an important example of this improved use, a Belgian start-up is using data to drive change in the commercial real estate market. Fraktion is utilizing the concept of tokenized shared ownership for commercial property. It is the end-to-end traceability and insight in the shared data between stakeholders that enables trust and makes real estate tokenization possible. It is based on the Fujitsu Track and Trust solution, driven by Blockchain, providing the visibility and transparency of this data that is vital to success.
The founders of Fraktion recognized early on that when it comes to high-value commercial real estate transactions, traceability, finality and accountability are important – and that data underpins strategic and tactical business decisions.
Fraktion turned to Fujitsu to find the optimal ways of understanding and interpreting end-to-end data streams within their context both effectively and intelligently. The Fujitsu Track and Trust approach unlocks the potential for identifying, qualifying and unlocking opportunities and patterns in near real-time.
Join this webinar to gain inspiration on how and why Fraktion’s data-driven approach enabled an outside-in approach to become reality – and explore how it laid the foundations for revolutionizing how commercial real estate can be bought and sold in the future, and why this is making the market more accessible and faster moving.

How to shake up an industry with transparency and traceability

A growing number of quality leaders are now leveraging AI, computer vision and advanced analytics tools as part of their strategies, but simply throwing technology at today’s challenges is not the answer.

Watch this webinar on-demand to listen to a panel of experts on the topic of quality control in manufacturing – and the role of emerging technologies such as Computer Vision and AI - as well as how improving quality control contributes to making manufacturing more sustainable.

Also learn:

- Six operational capabilities needed to achieve operational resilience – and why quality has become the new battleground for manufacturers.
- Key strategic initiatives by manufacturers in terms of smart factory, and ecosystem integration – and rising importance of quality control.
- Acceleration that digital technologies are bringing to the game.
- Low-hanging fruits when companies start their transformation process.

Sustainable Manufacturing: Optimising Quality Control with Computer Vision & AI

An increasing number of companies find that sustainability investments can open new possibilities in creating new products and services or rapidly release costs from inefficient working methods. However, companies face a dual challenge when it comes to implementing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance). Many initiatives attempting to harness data analytics, blockchain and intelligent connectivity have struggled to scale beyond small, tactical plays. On top of that, just implementing ESG to achieve compliance is not enough.

Are you an innovator or a follower? This webinar dives into the world of ESG to discover how the earlier adopters are reaping the rewards.

Beyond Compliance: How Can Your ESG Strategy Supercharge Your Business?

According to an IDC survey, 61% of the European manufacturers increased their spending on technology associated with sustainability programs in 2021. However, only less than 20% of European manufacturers consider themselves to be leading in their sustainability initiatives.

Watch this webinar on-demand to listen to a panel of experts on the topic of sustainability in manufacturing – and the role of traceability solutions - as well as how blockchain is driving transparency and trust across the supply chain. You will get to know how manufacturers seeing sustainability investments as an opportunity and not as an obligation have a powerful competitive advantage and a key element in their sustainability journey and
ESG initiatives.

Some key learnings:

- Manufacturers should consider moving from a reactive (regulatory-driven) to a proactive (value-add) approach, which requires appropriate digital technology investments.
- Traceability requires collaboration within the ecosystem and trust is key - to be able to collaborate and share data between stakeholders - and also trust between manufacturer and customer, and between brands and end-consumer.
- Traceability has a direct impact in improving quality overall as it gives the required transparency throughout the supply chain.
- Manufacturers that can assure transparency in their supply chain operations and lay supporting systems can maximize their sustainability, revenue, and profitable outcomes.

Whilst current economic and supply chain disruptions, combined with inflationary pressure make doing nothing an attractive proposition, what really is the true cost of this and is it more of a hinderance? 

With expert insights from Fujitsu, IDC, and SAP, join us as we discuss how you can drive modernization by migrating to SAP S/4HANA on Microsoft Azure, how SAP on Azure can help you achieve your sustainability goals, and how you can start your SAP S/4HANA modernization journey today.

There have been multiple disruptions which have caused the end of business as usual. Looking ahead, digital business models will be fundamental to business changes in the coming years. With this comes the need for an agile, standardized, cloud-based ERP infrastructure. Moving IT workloads to the public cloud is a strategic commitment which delivers long lasting advantages for modern businesses. Microsoft Azure is the leading platform for SAP customers promising digital resilience, trust, and openness. 

Sustainability goals are also driving cloud use amongst businesses who wish to access more efficient software and capabilities, more efficient infrastructure, and more sustainable applications to optimize their operations. The true cost of not modernizing is too high. Don’t pay the price.
