Digital Facility Record
The Digital Facility Record (DFR) is a core UNTP credential that serves as a digital carrier of facility-related information for entities involved in supply chain operations, such as factories, warehouses, or processing plants. Issued as W3C Verifiable Credentials, DFRs provide essential data including location, certifications, operational details, and sustainability metrics, designed to enhance transparency and compliance in B2B transactions.

RBTP extends this core UNTP framework with specialized Digital Facility Record implementations for specific industries requiring additional data elements. The RBTP Digital Electronic Facility Record, for example, is tailored for facilities producing electronic goods, incorporating industry-specific attributes while maintaining full compatibility with the core UNTP DFR structure. Detailed documentation is available in the RBTP Knowledge Base.
