Challenge: Accelerating Border Clearance

Shrimp from multiple ponds are often mixed to fill containers. If customs suspects that the shipment contains products from uncertified farms, the whole load could be subject to a withholding order, freezing inventory and contracts.

Solution

  • Embed BioTags® at the certified pond. Each batch of shrimp carries a molecular “lot code” tied to its certified farm of origin.
  • Chain-of-custody sampling. Authentica’s third-party testing partner samples the batch at pond, consolidation, and processing points to confirm there has been no co-mingling with uncertified product.
  • Border-ready dossier. The platform’s AI workflows auto-compile farm certifications, sample results, and custody logs and submit them to customs to clear the container immediately.
  • Bolster ESG claims. Same verified origin data set can be packaged into a shareable sustainability report for buyers, NGOs, or public disclosure.

Challenge: Improving Flock Health

Processors require the farms they source from to follow strict feed protocols to safeguard flock health, reduce antibiotic use, and protect against downstream contamination. Traditional audits rely on paperwork and spot visits, which are hard to scale.

Solution

  • Embed BioTags® in feed. Dose the product at manufacturing, creating a unique signature that can be detected in birds after ingestion.
  • Random carcass tests. Plant QA teams swab incoming flocks and send samples for testing, with the absence of the marker flagging non-compliant birds.
  • Instant variance alert. AI workflows link a failed test to the farm and auto-generate a claim or proposed corrective actions with the supplier.
  • Flock health analytics. AI correlates compliance results with other flock health data to understand the impact of feed protocols on health outcomes.

Steel Producer

Challenge: Access to Preferential Duties

Fluctuating steel tariffs often drive importers to seek alternative suppliers who qualify for preferential duties. But with the high risk of transshipment and mislabeled origin, customs is demanding more proof to secure these reduced rates.

Solution

  • Real-time tariff intelligence. AI monitors tariff changes, quantifies financial impacts, and identifies duty-saving opportunities.
  • Optimized sourcing recommendations. Platform identifies low-risk suppliers, alternative routes, and accurate HS codes to lower costs.
  • Tag product at the mill. Suppliers apply adhesive with BioTag® markers to finished steel, with third-party verification of application time and location.
  • Instant compliance recall. BioTag ID links to mill certificates and export documents, enabling rapid audit-ready origin proof for customs.

Apparel Distributor

Challenge: Automated Supplier Compliance Tracking

Managing supplier certifications, factory audits, and chemical safety attestations is labour-intensive and error-prone. Missing an expiry or a falsified document could cause shipment delays, cancelled orders, or even legal liability.

Solution

  • Centralized compliance hub. AI ingests and organizes all supplier compliance documents in one workspace.
  • Anomaly detection and renewal. AI agents cross-check documents for anomalies and upcoming expirations, triggering renewal requests.
  • Live shipment risk scores. Orders from suppliers with unresolved compliance gaps are flagged to procurement for escalation.
  • Finance incentive. Platform’s escrow integration ties payment release to verified compliance, incentivizing suppliers to stay current.

Challenge: Proof of Origin for Anti-Dumping

Blending billets from restricted countries can attract punitive tariffs. Customs now demand traceable evidence, not just invoices.

Solution

  • Apply BioTags® during casting. Each heat gets a unique signature bonded into the metal.
  • ink mill certs automatically. As coils move, AI agents reconcile tag IDs with production documents and export declarations.
  • Customs pre-clearance. The system assembles a digital package—chemical analysis, tag read-outs, and chain-of-custody—so brokers can clear shipments without delay.
  • Duty optimisation. Verified origin lets finance teams claim preferential or zero-duty rates with confidence.

Challenge: Verifying Antibiotic-Free Feed

Premium labels require proof that birds never received medicated feed. Traditional audits rely on paperwork and spot visits - easy to game, hard to police at scale.

Solution

  • Tag the feed. A microscopic marker is blended into approved rations.
  • Random carcass tests. Plant QA teams or third-party labs swab incoming flocks; absence of the marker flags non-compliant birds.
  • Instant variance alert. An AI agent links the failed test to the farm, halts premium payment, and triggers a targeted audit rather than a full program shutdown.
  • Audit trail for brand protection. Should regulators question a “raised without antibiotics” claim, molecular results and corrective actions are already documented.

Challenge: Stopping Co-Mingled Shrimp

Shipments from multiple ponds can often mixed to fill containers. If uncertified farms creep in, a single test at the U.S. border can trigger a Withhold-Release Order, freezing inventory and contracts.

Solution

  • Sample at consolidation. Independent inspectors scan a handful of shrimp; if the code set doesn’t match the bill of lading, the load is rejected before export.
  • Border-ready dossier. The platform auto-compiles farm licences, test results, and custody logs so customs can clear the container immediately.
  • Downstream proof. Retail buyers receive the same dossier, protecting private-label claims and accelerating payment.
  • Embed BioTags® at the certified pond. Each batch carries a molecular “lot code” tied to its farm of origin.

Challenge: Ingredient Traceability Across Tiers

Active ingredients pass through traders and processors, and paper trails often break—raising recall and reputational risk.

Solution

  • Centralise supplier data. Certificates, lab results, and change-control documents flow into a single record per lot.
  • AI gap analysis. Agents cross-check assay results against label claims and regulatory limits, flagging inconsistencies before production.
  • Auto-built transparency report. At batch release, the system packages every proof point - origin, test results, sustainability scores—into a shareable PDF for retailers or regulators.
  • Continuous monitoring. Any supplier licence expiry or new regulatory alert triggers a task for renewal or reformulation.
