Naples, Italy – 02/09/2024 – Caffè Barbera, one of Italy’s oldest and most renowned coffee roasteries, is once again setting the standard for innovation in the coffee industry. Building on its successful traceability project launched in 2022, the company is expanding its commitment to transparency and quality control through an exciting new partnership with Trackgood Ltd. and Anima Blockchain SRL.

Enhancing Coffee Traceability with Cutting-Edge Technology

In 2022, Caffè Barbera introduced a blockchain-based traceability system for select products, providing customers with unparalleled insight into the journey of their coffee—from the plantation to the cup. Now, in collaboration with Trackgood, a leader in supply chain transparency based in Wellington, New Zealand, and Milan-based Anima Blockchain SRL, Caffè Barbera is taking another significant step forward. This new phase will include the addition of sophisticated data tracking during the transportation of coffee beans.

Introducing the "Barbera Temperature NFC TAG" Pilot Project

The centerpiece of this initiative is the "Barbera Temperature NFC TAG" pilot project, a groundbreaking approach to supply chain management. This project will integrate Near Field Communication (NFC) tags provided by Anima Blockchain into the transportation process of Caffè Barbera's products. These NFC tags will monitor and record critical data such as temperature levels, humidity, and geolocation, ensuring that the coffee is transported under optimal conditions.

This innovative technology not only aims to maintain the high quality of Caffè Barbera’s coffee but also seeks to enhance the overall traceability within the supply chain. By leveraging blockchain technology, the data collected through these NFC tags will be securely stored and made accessible to consumers, providing them with full transparency and confidence in the quality of their coffee. The products involved in this pilot project are: Clean Cup Blend, Blue Baron Java, Ethiopia Sidamo Gr.1 and Shangrila Red Bourbon

A Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize the Coffee Supply Chain

The collaboration between Trackgood and Anima Blockchain, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), underscores the shared vision of these companies to revolutionize the coffee supply chain. By combining Trackgood’s expertise in supply chain transparency with Anima Blockchain’s advanced NFC technology, this partnership aims to set new industry standards in product tracking and consumer trust.
