About The Customer
Tetra Tech is a worldwide consulting and engineering solutions provider that has differentiated itself as a leader in the product compliance space. They have extended their value through their partnership with Benchmark, integrating Tetra Tech’s experience and expertise with Benchmark’s best-in-class Product Stewardship solution. From product compliance requirements related to RoHS, REACH, California Prop 65 to responsible sourcing obligations related to Conflict Minerals and Modern Slavery, Tetra Tech and Benchmark serve as a trusted industry partner to organizations looking to navigate their way through these global regulatory and market-driven challenges.
The Challenge
Keeping pace with global regulatory change and understanding its practical impacts on product design and supply chain continuity are extremely difficult for most organizations. Helping organizations understand the practical steps they should take in order to ensure product and supply chain compliance is a challenging endeavor. Most product stewardship and supply chain compliance programs in even the largest of enterprises are led and executed by very small teams with few resources. These lean teams require insights and expertise that are difficult to find in-house. Therefore, a higher level of cross-functional coordination is required across Quality, EHS, Engineering, Procurement, Sales, and more; a level of functionality which is not possible through corporate email systems and spreadsheets.
The Solution
Through an integrated service/solution offering, Tetra Tech and Benchmark are able to provide these teams with practical insight into the regulatory understanding and organizational activities that can be streamlined and automated to ensure effective cross-functional collaboration, supply chain due diligence, and smart product design leading ultimately to a successful compliant product. The joint effort to meet both company’s needs began in 2016, and has since evolved to a point where it’s understood to be a natural extension of each business. Since their initial partnership, Tetra Tech and Benchmark have managed to construct a flexible offering that aligns the perfect mix of expertise, service, and digital solution set with the specific priorities and needs of their common customers.

Retail Uses RFID to Enable Cold Chain Monitoring
Like most grocery retailers, Hy-Vee is faced with the challenge of providing the highest quality products to its shoppers. Shoppers want the longest possible shelf life from perishable products and expect a consistent product experience each time they shop. Controlling the quality of products sold leads to shopper loyalty, which is of paramount importance to the success of Hy-Vee. Before products arrive in stores, Hy-Vee's distribution centers (DCs) handle items including dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, deli items, produce and frozen goods, all of which have different temperature needs and sensitivities. During transit from suppliers to DCs, Hy-Vee has limited visibility and temperature management abilities due to large amount of supplier managed transportation. For instance, during a week-long transit, a supplier's carrier equipment may malfunction, causing an item to thaw and then refreeze once repairs are made. Hy-Vee sought help from TempTRIP, an RFID solution provider that focuses on shipping, storage, receiving, and temperature control. TempTRIP's EPC RFID tags use Impinj chips to monitor and report temperature readings throughout the shipping and receiving process. The tags can also be re-configured and re-used, a unique feature within the current market of temperature monitoring devices.

ELI LILLY ADOPTS MICROMEDIA’S ALERT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
Pharmaceutical production is subject to a strict set of enforced rules that must be adhered to and compliance to these standards is critically necessary. Due to the efforts of WIN 911’s strategic partner Micromedia, Lilly was able to adopt an alarm notification infrastructure that integrated smoothly with their existing workflows and emergency hardware and protocols. These raw energy sources enable the industrial process to function: electricity, WIN-911 Software | 4020 South Industrial Drive, Suite 120 | Austin, TX 78744 USA industrial steam, iced water, air mixtures of varying quality. Refrigeration towers, boilers and wastewater are monitored by ALERT. Eli Lilly identified 15000 potential variables, but limitations compelled them to chisel the variable list down to 300. This allowed all major alarms to be covered including pressure, discharge, quantity of waste water discharged,temperature, carbon dioxide content, oxygen & sulphur content, and the water’s pH.
