“…They use an ontology, which represents the knowledge base for supporting traceability data management. Sanchez et al [13] propose a general theoretical framework, based on cyber-physical systems, to support the development of traceability solutions in small manufacturing companies. It allows real-time traceability and process monitoring through a flexible and open architecture.…”

Food traceability, in addition to being a precise regulatory provision, is becoming increasingly significant in the variegated world of the trade globalization. Data and information on producer and territorial manufacturing context, reported on each product label, are not sufficient to reassure consumer on authenticity and safe of the product. In fact, after the food scandals of recent years, consumer has become considerably more demanding and wary. Fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, response speed in the event of sanitary emergency are among the most recognized advantages of a traceability system [1]. However, in this context, additional features can be considered: a well-implemented traceability system can give an amount of information about the product, such as to considerably enrich its perceived value by consumer. This increases the brand awareness and has very positive effects on sales. Referring to the most recent Coop Report, which is the study annually carried out by Coop Italia to analyse the distribution market, it is evident that the choice to propose products, healthy, organic, with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), allows companies to gain a significant competitive advantage. In particular, the study shows that the food products market is converging towards a clear diversification In recent decades, numerous regulations about food traceability have been promulgated, in order to protect health and safety of final consumer and to prevent fraudulent behaviour. The aim of this paper is to propose a framework for tracking and tracing an extra-virgin olive oil supply chain, located in Calabria, in the South Italy. Starting from the results of a market survey, we propose a traceability model, which increases the perceived value of the product placed on the market, and can be easily reused by small enterprises. We outline some possible future developments, based on the blockchain technology.

“…The authors used RFID technologies in manufacturing reengineering to develop an information system capable of managing the functionality of job shops that fabricate diverse and numerous parts. Sánchez et al [30] proposed a CPS-based traceability framework for small companies, and designed a traceability system based on cybernetic gloves and cybernetic tables. This traceability system was shown to be better than conventional tag-based traceability systems.…”

In the future, with the advent of the smart factory era, manufacturing and logistics processes will become more complex, and the complexity and criticality of traceability will further increase. This research aims at developing a performance assessment method to verify scalability when implementing traceability systems based on key technologies for smart factories, such as Internet of Things (IoT) and BigData. To this end, based on existing research, we analyzed traceability requirements and an event schema for storing traceability data in MongoDB, a document-based Not Only SQL (NoSQL) database. Next, we analyzed the algorithm of the most representative traceability query and defined a query-level performance model, which is composed of response times for the components of the traceability query algorithm. Next, this performance model was solidified as a linear regression model because the response times increase linearly by a benchmark test. Finally, for a case analysis, we applied the performance model to a virtual automobile parts logistics. As a result of the case study, we verified the scalability of a MongoDB-based traceability system and predicted the point when data node servers should be expanded in this case. The traceability system performance assessment method proposed in this research can be used as a decision-making tool for hardware capacity planning during the initial stage of construction of traceability systems and during their operational phase.

Though Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) become very popular in last the decade, dependability of CPS is still a critical issue and related survey is rare. We try to spell out the jigsaw of technologies and figure out the technical trends of dependable self-managing CPS. This survey first recalls the motivation and the similar concepts. By analyzing four generic architectures, we summarize the common characteristics and related assurance technologies, and propose a more generic environment-in-loop processing flow of CPS and a formal interaction flow between physical space and cyber space. Further, the similarity between correctness and dependability is formally analyzed and the new five research questions of dependable self-managing CPS are presented. Then we review the critical technologies and related correctness verification & validation (V&V) methods, the architectures for dependable self-managing CPS. Further, the detail dependability management and V&V technologies are surveyed, which covers the areas of running-time fault management methods and whole life cycle V&V technologies, maintenance and available tool sets. For holistic CPS development, Modeling techniques and MDE (model driven engineering) based V&V methods are analyzed in detail. Then we complete the jigsaw of technologies and figure out the missing part. Further, we propose the technical challenges and the further direction. To our best knowledge, this is the first comprehensive survey on dependable self-managing CPS development and evaluation.
