为了加强国内供应链，拜登政府成立了白宫供应链弹性委员会，并积极倡导部署数字技术，强调使用机器学习和人工智能 (AI)。加强美国供应链的目标之一是增加国内药品生产，以降低家庭成本并降低风险。要做到这一点，应更大规模地利用现有技术，政府应利用拥有悠久物流专业知识历史的私营公司。

33 年来，DeltaTrak 一直致力于开发技术，以改善冷链的各个方面，包括药品、农产品、冷冻食品和化学品。该公司的技术通过确保在整个物流过程中（从生产到交付）无缝监控和管理温度敏感产品，彻底改变了冷链。

全面的供应链可追溯性

DeltaTrak 技术的核心是 FlashTrak 全球监管链 (CoC) 信息管理系统，该系统提供端到端的产品可追溯性。该系统包括传感器、处理硬件和软件，旨在监控和分析冷链中易腐货物的质量。通过结合人工智能和机器学习等分析技术，该系统可以增强质量控制、识别供应链中的问题并最终提高效率。

数据集成和可视性

One of the ongoing challenges in supply chain management has been the issue of disparate systems. FlashTrak CoC addresses this by integrating commercial and IoT quality data into a single platform. It aggregates contributions from consortium partners to provide visibility into the supply chain and yield complete transparency. The insights gained by customers help predict product quality and prevent food or pharmaceutical loss. FlashTrak CoC also furnishes actionable data that enables customers to pinpoint all suppliers linked to a specific order and the corresponding shipment batches tied to those orders.

This complements the Administration’s emphasis on integrating industry expertise and data analytics through initiatives like the Supply Chain Mapping Tool and the Supply Chain Center, both aimed at enhancing visibility and creating a cohesive view of supply chain dynamics.

Regulatory Compliance and Sustainability

DeltaTrak’s technology also aids in managing regulatory compliance documents and addresses sustainability concerns by monitoring the status of products in transit. This ensures supply chains meet essential standards and contribute to broader environmental goals, as seen in the quadrennial supply chain review and actions to strengthen critical supply chains.

The Quadrennial Supply Chain Review and DeltaTrak’s Role

The Biden administration’s quadrennial supply chain review supports the overall strategy of enhancing supply chains. DeltaTrak’s technology contributes to this review by addressing a specific aspect of the supply chain—post-harvest monitoring and modeling in the perishable supply chain. This refers to the processes and techniques used to track, assess, and optimize the handling, storage, and distribution of perishable goods after they have been harvested or developed.

Supply Chain Mapping Tool and Supply Chain Center

The Department of Defense’s Supply Chain Mapping Tool and the Department of Commerce’s Supply Chain Center integrate industry expertise and data analytics and align with the focus on strengthening critical supply chains. DeltaTrak’s technology complements these efforts by addressing a critical aspect of the supply chain—temperature management in the cold chain—to prevent issues such as food waste and safety concerns.

Reducing Waste and Improving Product Quality

Both White House initiatives and DeltaTrak’s technology aim to minimize waste, enhance product quality, and extend shelf life in the supply chain. The synergy between government and private sector efforts, coupled with innovative technologies such as DeltaTrak’s, underscores the necessity for a collaborative approach to building robust and efficient supply chains in the constantly changing landscape of domestic manufacturing.
