System Analysis for the Traceability and Logistics Management of Fresh Agricultural Products Supply Chain

Abstract

Abstract-Issues and concerns for food safety, agro-processing, and the environmental and ecological impact of food production have been attracted many research interests. Traceability and logistics management of fresh agricultural products is faced with the technological challenges including food product label and identification, activity/process characterization, information systems for the supply chain, i.e., from farm to table. Application of information technologies for food processing and logistics industry in the fields of smart packaging and materials, automation and control technology, standards and their application scenarios, and production management principles were wildly studied. A collaborative research project for the supply and logistics of fresh agricultural products in Tianjin was performed. System analysis for the logistics management information system is studied. The model-driven business transformation, an approach uses formal models to explicitly define the structure and behavior of a business, is applied for the review and analysis process. Specific requirements for the logistics management solutions are proposed. Development of this research is crucial for the solution integration of supply and logistics management information system for fresh agricultural products.

Quinoa Traceable System Based on Internet of Things

“…It is an important function to increase the nutritional value of food for the population food. In the meantime [1], the development of the quinoa industry can reduce the human demand for animal protein to a certain extent, thereby reducing the input of livestock, pens and human resources in the breeding industry, the occupation of cultivated land in the breeding grounds, and the pollution of animal excrement to the environment [2].…”

Traceability Management for the Food Safety along the Supply Chain Collaboration of Agricultural Products

“…[17] The logistics and information flow play an important role in the agricultural products supply chain. Liu and Gao [18] applied the model-driven business transformation (MDBT) for the review and analysis of the logistics management of fresh agricultural products supply chain. MDBT is both a business transformation methodology and a set of innovative technologies that allow business strategies to be realized by choreographing workflow tools and human activities [19].…”
