Taiwan’s Baodao produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, especially Guava (available throughout the year), Wendan (September to October), Yuhe Bao (May to June), and Mango (from May to June), which are of high economic value and are widely acclaimed internationally. July), Pear (May~August), Jujube (December~February) and Lianwu (May~August), due to the higher prices of the products, group management and recyclable RFID can be used Label application design to improve RFID investment benefits.
Hongqi, the company that the author serves, announced the results of the “RFID proof of concept in vegetable and fruit logistics” at the “96 annual RFID application in agriculture related project results” on April 22, including Yanchao’s famous guava and triple fruit and vegetable The wholesale market is the use of RFID and PDA in the wholesale market tally and auction processes, and I will summarize the advanced introductions in this magazine.
The most famous guava in Yanchao Township, Kaohsiung County, is the most famous guava producing area in Taiwan. Guava is the first of the three treasures in Yanchao Township, Kaohsiung County. The highest auction price is more than 100 yuan per kilogram. Adopting a co-selection system, Guava is divided into four grades: special, excellent, good, and good.

The main economic activity of vegetable and fruit transportation and sales is between the production area and the wholesale market, and the wholesale market plays an important role in the coordination of supply, demand and price between the production area and consumers. Generally, the sales and sales of fruits and vegetables to the wholesale market are auctioned and completed, which can be roughly divided into five categories. The tasks include: sorting and packaging of goods in the place of origin, delivery of goods to the transporter at the place of origin, delivery of goods in the wholesale market, price reduction in the wholesale market, and delivery of the goods after auction in the wholesale market.
In terms of wholesale markets, the Sanchong Fruit and Vegetable Market is currently the most representative professional wholesale market for vegetables and fruits in northern Taiwan. The yard has clear grading and packaging. It is currently the only fruit in the Sanchong Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market that does not need to be opened for inspection.
After actual understanding, it was found that the handwriting of the shipping order at the origin is relatively scribble, the wholesale market obtains the shipment information from the origin too late, and the arrival time reduces the follow-up tally and price reduction time. How to use RFID to save the wholesale market manpower, Protecting consumers’ rights and increasing farmers’ income is an important goal of this verification plan.
Recyclable RFID tag design
In this verification, the Yanchao Township Farmers’ Association implemented RFID POC at several production and marketing shifts and goods yards. After months of on-site inspections, from the fruit and vegetable production area to the wholesale market sales and auction process, it was found that most of the fruits and vegetables are currently It is shipped in a carton, with easy-to-handle openings on the left and right sides of the carton.

However, in conjunction with the use of recyclable RFID tags, it is necessary to eliminate the past practices of discarded adhesive tags and destructive nail-mounted tags, and provide design accessories that are easy to attach and remove, and print RFID codes and barcodes on the surface. ID data, so that users can easily distinguish visually, and can be used as a backup for RFID.
Simplify post-auction pick-up operations
When grading packaging at the place of origin, attach an RFID tag to the carton. When shipping, read the RFID data and print the delivery note to the freight forwarder. On the information system side, the shipment information is sent to the wholesale market in real time. The wholesale market can learn about the pre-order quantity and prepare the auction site about eight hours earlier than before. The auctioneer can also formulate an auction strategy to improve the auction atmosphere and price. Reduce unsalable agricultural products and reduce farmers’ losses.
Figure 5. Use RFID PDA to tally and price
In the process of tally and price adjustment, an easy-to-operate RFID reader PDA is designed to reduce the original 10 fields for each batch to 2 fields, and the labor force can also be reduced from the original 2 people to 1 people. In the post-auction delivery operation, the tally can use the RFID PDA to assist the pick-up clerk to confirm the correct underwriting lot number. After the tally confirms that the pick-up clerk has carried the goods correctly, the pick-up clerk needs to remove the RFID tags one by one and return them to the wholesale market. Take it as the basis for calculating the work performance of the day.

Concluding remarks
Many farmers in Taiwan are very interested in new technology, especially in terms of increasing the price of agricultural products and international visibility; however, most of them still hold a reservation about the long-term maintenance and update of information systems in the future. The result of this verification shows that through the designed RFID system, each production and sales shift only takes a little time, inputting a few data fields, saving a lot of time for tally and price reduction, and there are more The opportunity to increase the price. This has greatly improved the efficiency of the wholesale market, and increased farmers’ higher returns. It is hoped that through the results of this verification, the sustainable application of fruits and vegetables from other origins may be extended to more auction markets in the future, and with this experimental results, a prototype of the application of the circulation record of agricultural products in the wholesale market will be established.
