Application of RFID in Food Traceability Management
[ad_1]
In recent years, food safety (food poisoning, mad cow disease, foot-and-mouth disease, avian flu and other livestock and poultry diseases, as well as severe agricultural residues, a surge in imported food materials, etc.) have occurred frequently, which has seriously affected people’s health and caused widespread worldwide Paying attention to how to effectively track and trace food has become an extremely urgent global issue.
Currently in our country,The output of major foods such as cereals, fruits, meat, poultry eggs, and aquatic products ranks first in the world.In order to ensure the food safety of the people and effectively control the outbreak of food-borne diseases, As well as excluding the export of my country’s food facing the restrictions of the importing country’s food tracking and tracing laws and regulations, so the establishment of food tracking and tracing in my country will have a huge impact on the development of the food industry.But currentlyThere are still very few examples of the application of automatic traceability systems in the entire food production process in my country. The traceability of the domestic food industry is currently mainly only in the retail settlement link, and is far from being applied in the entire food supply chain. The entire traceable supply chain has not yet been formed.
1. System function and utility
Tsinghua TongfangThe RFID food traceability management system will use advanced RFID technology and rely on network technology, And database technology to realize information fusion, query, and monitoring, provide reasonable decisions on the safety of each product, the source of food ingredients and inventory control for each production stage and the process of distribution to the final consumption field, and realize the food safety early warning mechanism . RFID technology runs through food safety, including production, processing, circulation, and consumption.
