Traceability
in the Fishing Industry, Traceway the best Technical Innovation in 2005
Nesco
Weighing Ltd. win Technical Innovation Seafood Award
At
the Seafood Awards Ceremony organised by Seafish and held at the Royal
Lancaster Hotel, London, on 9th March, Nesco Weighing Ltd. won the 2005
award for Technical Innovation.
This
was in recognition of the work done on the TraceFish project, which
culminated in the delivery of a significant installation to Newlyn, Cornwall.
Joint Venture company Rontec Ltd was a major contributor to the development
of the Traceway system and was also responsible for providing the
software and some of the hardware.
Over the last four
years Nesco and Rontec have placed themselves in a position to produce
an innovative and totally integrated traceability system called the
'Traceway', providing a solution for EU legislation on traceability
of fish.
Unique in
the market place the research and development carried out on this project
has been greatly assisted by their
on-going relationship
with the fishing and fish processing industry in general. Traceway
can provide traceability from net to plate and can easily interface
with other systems.
