Cannabis Work Group

The cannabis industry is establishing protocols and processes in response to a rapidly shifting global regulatory and consumer landscape. This new workgroup will leverage its collective expertise and technical experience gained working with other regulated industries that faced similar demands, such as retail, medical devices, pharmaceutical, etc. Specific attention and support will be provided in meeting seed-to-sale traceability and package labeling requirements for growers, processors, distributors and retailers within the cannabis industry.

The AIM North America Cannabis Work Group was formed to engage in outreach to the global cannabis industry, educating and promoting adoption of automatic identification strategies and technologies, supporting the industry’s growth and need for compliance with traceability and packaging regulations by enabling secure data sharing and validation to establish trust and transparency in this rapidly growing industry.

Whitepaper Just Released
​
Track and Track for the Cannabis Industry, from Cultivation to Consumer

Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) technologies are all around us. Our modern economy wouldn’t and probably couldn’t function without it. Retail stores and food establishments everywhere rely on AIDC and it has become so ubiquitous that even the casual user of the technology recognizes its benefits. You see AIDC every day: in the UPC barcode on your groceries, in the RFID that identifies your car and automatically bills you for road toll payments, even in your pet’s microchip. All members of the cannabis supply chain — farmers and growers, processors, manufacturers, distributors, dispensaries, even consumers — benefit from implementing AIDC solutions. This whitepaper will 
  • Create an understanding of the advantages of AIDC technologies
  • Explore and define AIDC, including a forward look at trends and innovations as they relate to the cannabis industry
  • Develop a continuing relationship between the AIDC community and the cannabis industry — growers, processers, packagers, and retailers
