In order to ensure food safety, Australian fresh food production company Moraitis Fresh is now cooperating with IBM to use an innovative RFID technology tracking system. This system can improve the operational efficiency of the entire Moraitis supply chain and improve product quality. It is the first application in the fresh food industry in Australia. The first step of this plan is to install RFID tags on tomato trays and install a channel reader made by Magellan on the conveyor belt of Moraitis’s tomato sorting and packaging operation in Homebush Bay. Every day the RFID system will provide detailed information about the origin, packaging date, type, quality and size of the tomatoes shipped from Moraitis. Moraitis can understand the loss rate of each shipment and the exact number of pallets obtained from different manufacturers. The tag frequency used by Moraitis is 15.56MHz, because this frequency is more suitable for humid environments than UHF 900MHz.
When the tomatoes arrive at Moraitis’s Sydney distribution center, employees will use handheld RFID readers to identify the pallets and write different codes for them for retail. The RFID system has been completely used in Moraitis’s business operations. Wholesalers can use it to improve the efficiency of the distribution system and strengthen the information sharing of supply chain partners, including growers and supermarket retailers.
