HerdX and UPS Deliver US Beef to Japan with Blockchain Verification

The supply of verified beef is a step forward in ensuring quality and traceability. UPS and HerdX have jointly developed tracking technology that improves the quality control of exported beef products. UPS has created a tool that connects to HerdX blockchain technology, providing status updates along the way.

HerdX, Inc. offers a complete solution called HerdX Livestock Ecosystem to deliver clean, traceable food products to retailers and consumers.

Thus, the product left Kansas on November 4, wrapped in aUPS Temperature True package. It contained sensors that monitored and recorded the temperature of the cargo from the point of departure to destination. The data has been uploaded and integrated into the HerdX verification platform. UPS customs brokers have coordinated with health, food, and safety authorities in the US and Japan to get all the necessary certificates that made delivery possible. HerdX founder Ron HICKS commented on the event:

“UPS Freight Forwarding and Logistics services more than 220 countries and territories worldwide. Our official international logistics partnership gives HerdX unprecedented scaling power, which in turn provides incredible expansion opportunities for the American cattle producer.”
