Design of Meat Product Safety Information Chain Traceability System Based on UHF RFID

Abstract

As a result of the current imperfection of the meat traceability system, there have been numerous food safety events with serious consequences. In this paper, a meat product information traceability system is designed to efficiently prevent such problems. This system develops an identification tag information reader based on ultra-high frequency (UHF) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). It is compatible with LoRa wireless, USB serial port, RS485, and RJ45 Ethernet connection. Among them, the efficiency analysis of the Q-value algorithm finds that the recognition rate of the system reaches a maximum of about 0.367 when the number of tags n is about the frame length. The multi-tag anti-collision algorithm design based on the algorithm improves the efficiency of information collection in production and distribution links. The traceability code identification scheme is designed to effectively match various links, and the platform of system is built using LabVIEW2014 software, which has five sub-modules including user management, farm management, slaughter management, logistics management, and sales management. The system uses MySQL databases to store traceability information so that users can complete their queries by entering the traceability code on the system platform. The system not only has a low cost and a broad range of applications, but it also realizes the tracking record of meat product traceability information from breeding to selling, completes the function from information collection to information inquiry, and solves the problem of the incomplete traceability information chain. In addition, the system not only enhances the informational transparency of meat products in the product supply chain but also provides information for the regulatory authorities to effectively monitor safety.

IoT Implementation in Slaughterhouses Supply Chain: A Case Study of the Adahi Experiment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

“…This feature allows the ongoing monitoring and tracking of objects following their identification. An essential advantage of RFID technology is its ability to read tags in challenging conditions, such as snowy, foggy, or harsh environments, with rapid recognition speed [44]. RFID chips can be directly applied to animals after slaughter and before they enter the washing area.…”

Design and practice of an emergency blood allocation system based on radiofrequency identification technology

“…Studies have shown that the use of UHF RFID tags does not affect the preservation quality of red blood cells, platelets or frozen plasma [7][8][9]. To this end, we followed the ISO18000-6C and ISBT128 standards and used a UHF RFID blood bag tag [2,10,11].…”

A processing-type active real-time traceable certification system

“…Each stage presents the recorded contents, such as the production, delivery, and other incidental records at the production stage; the stock, manufacturing and processing, and delivery records (containing the signature of the manufacturing responsible person, expiration date, and production line number) at the processing stage; the product stock records, production and processing schedules, delivery, and other records at the distribution stage; and finally the product stock and sales records at the retail stage 4 . By regulating the recorded contents, the information and data of production, handling, processing, distribution, and sales can be reserved and traceable for the entire process to further guarantee food safety from a farm to a dining table 5 – 7 .…”
