“…If all SC actors have internal and external traceability, a whole SC traceability is achieved (Bhatt et al, 2013;Bosona & Gebresenbet, 2013;Zhang & Bhatt, 2014). Each traceability actor must be able to identify the direct source and recipient of traceable products.…”

In recent years, a need for product traceability in the cold supply chain has emerged. The purpose of this study was to identify and map out different kinds of identification technologies and techniques used for cold supply chain traceability. This was done by looking into what traceability solutions are available right now through literature review. The results from this review were then further analyzed to obtain a basis for the current state of knowledge, technical solutions and to identify possible traceability structures in the cold chain. A decision support framework was constructed for choosing a suitable technical solution. It consists of a table listing different functions and attributes of technologies and a decision-tree. The decision support framework created from this work will help the user to identify what kind of traceability technology and structure best suits his products. This is important, as it can often be difficult for the user to decide which technology is most beneficial for his company. That is why this decision support framework will enable him to decide what is technologically feasible, practical, economical, can sustain reputation, quality and safety of the products. Finally, I would like to thank Smart-Fish for the financial support that enabled me to visit Oulu University of Applied Science. I would also like to thank the hardworking scientists who took time out of their work to educate me on their research.

“…The greatest challenge for food SC managers is the lack of a standardized way to collect information and exchange it among systems used between different actors in the SC (Bhatt et al, 2013;Bosona & Gebresenbet, 2013;Mgonja et al, 2013;H. Ringsberg, 2014;Storoy et al, 2013).…”

“…Although data storage of traceability‐related information now occurs at the firm level, the main benefit to maintaining data in a system that allows electronic queries from permitted users is the speed with which an item can be traced. It is not, however, desirable to store data in a central database, such as in the Turkish pharmaceuticals industry (see Section “Pharmaceuticals”), due to security concerns (Bhatt and others ; Future of Fish ).…”

The Interoperable Seafood Traceability Technology Architecture Issues Brief reflects the growing need to establish a global, secure, interoperable support system for seafood traceability. Establishing effective traceability systems relies on the development of a cohesive and consistent approach to the delivery of information technology capabilities and functions. The ability of business to utilize traceability for commercial gain is heavily influenced by the supply chain in which they operate. The Issues Brief describes factors associated with enterprise-level traceability systems that will impact the design of technology architecture suited to enabling whole chain interoperable traceability. The Brief details why a technology architecture is required, what it means for industry in terms of benefits and opportunities, and how the architecture will translate into practical results. The current situation of many heterogeneous proprietary systems prevents global interoperable traceability from occurring. Utilizing primary research and lessons learned from other industries, the Brief details how the present situation can be addressed. This will enable computerized information systems to communicate syntactically by sharing standardized packages of data. The subsequent stage, semantic interoperability, is achieved by establishing a common language (ontology). The report concludes with a series of recommendations that industry can act upon to design a technology architecture suited to enabling effective global interoperable traceability.Keywords: architecture, chain, interoperability, seafood, semantic, supply, syntactic, technology, traceability, value Executive SummaryThe ability of businesses to proactively manage risks, reduce costs, and increase revenue rests on the effective sharing of information. Verifying the accuracy and rigor of data exchanged within and between businesses for the purposes of traceability rests on the existence of effective interoperable information systems. Effective interoperability relies on sharing a common technology architecture, in other words a common blueprint or framework, among the systems utilized by businesses operating along a value chain.The purpose of this Issues Brief is to support the Interoperable Seafood Traceability Technology Architecture Project being led by the Institute of Food Technologists Global Food Traceability Center. The project stems from a growing realization that a need MS 20151924 Submitted 19/11/2015, Accepted 8/12/2015 exists to establish a global, secure, interoperable support system for seafood traceability. Establishing an effective global traceability systems relies on the development of a cohesive and consistent approach to the delivery of information technology capabilities and functions. Information technology architecture describes the process of achieving this through the methodical development of a common and coherent series of specifications, models, guidelines, and concepts.Technology architectures are developed through engaging in...
