摘要
In this paper we propose a model for the application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and wireless sensors in food logistics to ensure the products' quality and the traceability along the supply chain, from farms to consumers. The wireless sensors can detect the conditions of the food quality and transmit the information to the RFID tags. The RFID tags can also record other information such as the expired date and communicate with the computer system through the RFID reader. Once the low qualities of products or bad conditions of storage environment are detected, some reactions such as enhancing the package or removing the bad products can be taken immediately in the distribution centers. According to the information on the smart tags, the distribution and the vehicle routing plans are determined to maintain better qualities of the food products when they arrive at the retailers. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010.
