Let's start from the beginning of our target process. In our use case, the product arrives at the factory in large pieces, where it'll be cut, packed, and put in boxes for sale. This product is stored and the boxes are put onto pallets before delivery.
A pallet is a wooden, metallic, or plastic platform used for moving goods, as we can see in the following diagram:
Next, we'll see the important data that must be registered about the product before it proceeds to the next stage. When the product arrives, the following data is captured and recorded:
- Stock Keeping Unit (SKU)
- Animal origin
- Name of producer
- Animal information
- Quality control
- Date of abatement
- Freezing
- Technical supervisor details
- Shipment date
- Temperature and transport details
The following details are captured during the registration of a box or pallet:
- SKU
- Date
- Factory address
- Freezing temperature
- Quality record
- Pallet code
Now let's check the process for the next actor in the chain.
