GALIST Galileo Smart Traceability
Description

GALIST is a project that supports the traceability of food products linked to their position and the occurrence of significant events (e.g. labelling, packaging, shipping). The system is based on an innovative concept that uses GNSS combined with ADSB data, which is provided by airplanes. The GALIST project uses, in fact, a double-certification approach – based on a proprietary algorithm – to keep track of products. Each product is marked with a specific ORIGOSAT tag, a QR code, which allows consumers to access the certified information – thus reaching the full awareness of the “Made-in” value. Clearly, the position’s certification is a key enabler of the service.
