WCA Digital Traceability – Fostering Digital Interoperability
While digital innovations in coffee have enabled data collection at an unrivaled scale, the ability to move data between devices and systems remains a big challenge. Much of these data have remained in silos, resulting in bottlenecks which limit innovation and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
This virtual event explores issues of data interoperability, its impact, and potential and discusses possible pathways to digital traceability for a more productive and resilient coffee future.
