Processing of fresh fish starts by scanning all incoming fish boxes that are to be manually emptied into a filleting machine. In the scanning, information about the identity (i.e. the GRAI number), time/date of arrival and location of each fish box is reported as an EPCIS transaction event. The machine produces fish fillets, manually placed in cardboard boxes and
labelled with unique stickers including an RFID tag and printed product information. This creates not only a split in materials but also a re-labelling of units in the supply chain. This is reported as an EPCIS aggregation event including information about time/date of filleting, location and unique identity (i.e. SGTIN) of each cardboard box. Once labelled and reported, each cardboard box is lifted on to a pallet and transported by forklift into cooling storage, or into a cooling lorry for further transport. Shipments of cardboard boxes of filleted fish from the two storage facilities are made according to sales agreements between the processor and wholesaler. The shipments are reported as EPCIS transaction events, and as conveyance and deductive bills sent by the processor to governmental authorities. In the EPCIS transaction
event, information about time/date of dispatch, the location and unique identity (i.e. SGTIN) of each cardboard box is reported
