RFID Data Loggers in Fish Supply Chain Traceability

الملخص EN

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an innovative and well-recognized technology that supports all kinds of traceability systems in many areas.

It becomes very important in the food industry where the electronic systems are used to capture the data in the supply chain.

Additionally, RFID data loggers with sensors are available to perform a cold chain optimization for perishable foods.

This paper presents the temperature monitoring solution at the box level in the fish supply chain as part of the traceability system implemented with RFID technology.

RFID data loggers are placed inside the box to measure the temperature of the product and on the box for measuring ambient temperature.

The results show that the system is very helpful during the phases of storage and transportation of fish to provide the quality control.

The sensor data is available immediately at the delivery to be checked on the mobile RFID reader and afterwards stored in the traceability systems database to be presented on a web to stakeholders and private consumers.
