Thailand Fresh Durian Packing House Queen Frozen Fruit Fresh Durian Packing House How DiMuto Helps With our 4T Track & Trace platform, we provide both the hardware and the software portion of the solution in order for Queen Frozen Fruit to easily implement it. First, we use QR labels (in line with Queen’s branding of course), and tag them to every single durian as well as every single Queen carton. As durians are high value products, it makes sense to track on a product level. This now means that every durian and every carton is able to be digitalized and assign a digital identity. To complete the digitalization process, we provide Queen with a mobile application that allows them to scan each durian and upload it onto DiMuto Trade Platform. The mobile platform was best for the manual operations of Queen, where workers were constantly moving around and there were no fixed stations. Finally, on DiMuto Trade Platform, Queen Frozen Fruit can assign each scanned durian and each carton to the relevant trade order, and attach relevant trade documents including shipping documents, health certificates and more. Deploying DiMuto 4T Solutions to Durian Packing Houses As the operations of every supplier differ from brand to brand, country to country and product to product, DiMuto has to tailor each solution implementation. Each durian and carton is handled manually and tagged by the operations team on the ground. Each Durian is then scanned using the DiMuto Application.
