Design of Agent-Based Agricultural Product Quality Control System

Abstract

Aiming at the problems existed in agricultural product quality control, management and traceability such as the considerable influence of human factors, weak ability of handling emergencies and lacking of support of intelligent key technologies, this study explores the application of agent theory, method and technique to solve the problems of process control, traceability, intelligent information watching and information technology application to emergency reaction conditioned on the general characteristics from production to circulation. In this study agent application and development method will be put forward. By means of investigating its communication and cooperative mechanism, we design the agent-based universal system framework for quality control of agricultural product. According to production and processing characteristics of different agricultural products, corresponding controlling unit and condition are increased to adapt to the special aim.

Research on Agent-Based Bee Product Traceability Platform and Barcode System

“…EU and some countries took trade barriers like forbid export and stop selling to Chinese honey in 2002 [3], which made great loss to Chinese beekeeping industry, seriously impacted normal development of beekeeping industry, and also caused Chinese government departments to pay attention to bee products quality problems. The key problem of bee products quality safety is doping fake and drug residue in China, and these kinds of problems have not been able to get fundamental solution [4]. The production and purchase link of Chinese bees industry especially the raw honey are loose management, small scale, and bad degree of organization, but effective supervision need reliable technical means, so the demand for bee products' quality safety traceability system is more pressing.…”

“…On the law level, EU Traceability Regulations-Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 article 18 Traceability, trade operator must ensure product's traceability. Our country "Food Safety Law" and "Produce Quality Safety Law" also provide legal protection for the implementation of traceability system on legal level [5].…”
