Rockwell and Kezzler Protect Public Health by Tackling Food Traceability Challenges
Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) and Kezzler have partnered to address food traceability challenges in response to new FDA requirements. The collaboration combines Rockwell's Plex and FactoryTalk solutions with Kezzler's digital ID technology to enable comprehensive food tracking from origin to finished product. This initiative aims to help companies comply with the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements, which mandate additional record-keeping for high-risk foods by January 20, 2026. The solution helps track ingredients through Traceability Lot Codes, enhancing compliance, operational efficiency, and consumer safety in response to the WHO's estimate that 600 million people globally fall ill from contaminated food annually.

Insights
The collaboration between Rockwell Automation and Kezzler addresses a significant market opportunity in food traceability, driven by FDA regulatory requirements. The solution combines Rockwell's Plex and FactoryTalk platforms with Kezzler's digital ID technology to create an integrated tracking system. While this partnership positions Rockwell well in the growing food safety compliance market ahead of the 2026 FDA deadline, the immediate revenue impact remains unclear without specific financial projections or contract details.
The addressable market is substantial, considering the global food traceability market and the 600 million people affected by contaminated food annually. However, this appears to be primarily a product announcement and partnership update rather than news with immediate financial implications. The long-term potential exists for recurring revenue from software subscriptions and service fees, but adoption rates and monetization strategy details are not provided.
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2024 / An estimated 600 million - almost 1 in 10 people in the world - get sick after eating contaminated food, according to the World Health Organization. To address this concern, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has authority to regulate the way foods are grown, harvested and processed, created a regulatory framework around food safety.
Part of that framework is the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and the new section, Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods. This new section identifies high-risk foods to public health and requires additional record-keeping requirements that will help companies quickly identify and remove contaminated food from the market. Businesses must comply with this new section by January 20, 2026.
These expanded compliance and traceability requirements significantly increase the volume and complexity of data to manage-requiring the capture and maintenance of specific Key Data Elements at Critical Tracking Events.
The challenge for many companies: these data elements often reside in separate, non-interoperable systems and entities, spanning records from production, handling, and shipment of finished goods.
The solution requires verifying that every ingredient can be tracked from its origin to the finished product through sufficiently unique Traceability Lot Codes. The ability to ‘connect the dots' can enhance compliance and operational efficiency, boost consumer confidence, and protect public health.
Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) Plex and FactoryTalk® solutions, combined with Kezzler's digital ID solutions, enable producers to elevate processing and factory data captured within the four walls of the plant into a single-source query product genealogy.
By connecting this information to the overall supply chain, this technology collaboration from Rockwell and Kezzler means companies can track food from start to finish, monitor critical control points in real time, automate collection and visualization of data trends, and protect products against counterfeits and supply chain changes. It will ultimately help them respond faster to contaminated food risks and protect consumers from foodborne illness and even death.
Tracing food products from harvesting to retail is a challenge. New solutions from Rockwell and Kezzler make it easier to comply with the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
