Hewlett-Packard and the Canadian arm of a global standards organization today rolled out a cloud-based service said to help food and beverage, toy, and pharmaceuticals manufacturers and their supply chain partners more efficiently conduct product recalls.

The service, a collaboration between HP and the GS1 non-profit supply chain standards organization, is being deployed initially for food and beverage manufacturers in Canada. It will later be deployed in other countries, said Mick Keys, HP’s senior architect for business critical systems, in an interview with Manufacturing Executive.
