Case Study: Duvel Moortgat achieves full production traceability with Zetes

Duvel Moortgat achieves full traceability across entire production line

Duvel Moortgat, the Belgian brewing company behind Duvel beer, needed a way to achieve full traceability across its growing production and logistics operations while meeting legal requirements and maintaining product quality. As production expanded and many stock movements took place outdoors, the company faced challenges with manual paper loading slips, error-prone processes, and the need for weather- and shock-proof scanning infrastructure. Zetes provided a customized labelling, scanning, and track-and-trace solution to support this need.

Zetes implemented automated barcode scanners, wireless uplinks to a central tracing database, on-board driver confirmation, and flexible scan terminals for full and mixed pallets, all integrated with Duvel Moortgat’s existing tracing software. The result was total control over internal stock movements and shipments, fewer errors, faster and more accurate loading assignments, and improved productivity in both the brewing area and bottling plant. The solution also eliminated the need for drivers to leave their vehicles to scan items manually, even in outdoor conditions.
