RFID-enabled Food Safety Platform and Solution
Description
The project “RFID-enabled Platform Technology for the Integrated Shenzhen-Hong Kong Food Safety and Supply Chain Management Public Information Platform” was formed with an objective to integrate science, technologies, and infrastructure for the better practices of food safety and quality management based on RFID technology. The core research work was undertaken by project team members from two Hong Kong universities (HKU and CUHK) with deliverables addressing tag and reader designs in the areas of active RFID and sensors; data interoperability among various technologies as well as application enablement for enterprises in the food supply chain.
The project team from HKU has placed its development focus in building a service platform based on RFID technology to provide publicly interested information related to food safety, food sources and food logistics. While leveraging the RFID as a food information carrier, the solution also integrates with different technologies, such as barcode, network and communication, to formulate an integrated system consist of an information platform and a number of applications. These applications cover various sectors on the food supply chain from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, like farm, re-processing, re-packaging, distribution, transportation and inspection, in the area of data collection, recording and exchange. This information platform aims at facilitating a highly effective and efficient informatics supply chain management, as well as enabling a seamless integration on the information requirement among various sectors in the food supply to Hong Kong, in order to synchronize the physical and information logistics. Apart from supporting the monitoring and management activities conducted by the government departments, the solution also benefits both the Shenzhen and Hong Kong enterprises in their business operation and management. More importantly, the public now realizes the high quality of service from the information age and feels comfortably relief on the food supply.
