WCT Supports the Full-Chain Traceability and Quality Control of Yunnan Baiyao Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Herbal Pieces
In 2023, Yunnan Baiyao applied WCT technology to the production supply chain of TCM herbal pieces, fully integrating from herb cultivation to finished product sales. Information on the cultivation base of herbs (such as the Yunnan Wenshan Sanqi plantation), harvesting time, processing techniques (such as steaming duration, drying temperature), and quality inspection reports (such as pesticide residues, heavy metal content) are all recorded in real-time on the chain; when pharmacies make purchases, they can verify the authenticity and traceability information of the herbal pieces by scanning a code. Yunnan Baiyao pays suppliers using WCT, linking payment with the quality grade of the herbs (such as 'First Class' and 'Second Class'). By 2024, this system will cover over 100 core TCM herbal pieces, with complaints due to quality issues decreasing by 90%, and pharmacy purchase volume increasing by 42% year-on-year, becoming a model of 'traceability and authenticity' in the TCM herbal piece industry.
