Abstract

This paper discusses investments in new equipment for the tracking of food products, especially from the glass bottle industry that serves the beer market. Three technologies - laser, CO2 laser, and QR code - as well as the criteria (security, cost, performance and social) to assist in decision making were raised in light of the literature and validated through interviews with internal expert stakeholders in the glass container industry. This research is a timely response to studying traceability technologies and criteria in the packaging industry and in the food chain. The analyses were performed using the analytic network process (ANP) method, which indicated that the safety (46.8%) and social (29.9%) criteria have the greatest weights in decision-making for the studied industry. The results indicate the superiority of selection of QR code technology for deployment in the industry that is the focus of this study.
