Develop an intelligent packaging system to ensure the quality of fish in the supply chain.
Tecnologicpo The Institute of Packaging, Transport and Logistics (Iten) on Godella (Valencia) in Spain is leading the project 'Chill on', which aims to develop a packaging system that combines radio frequency identification tags (RFID) with visual indicators time-temperature (TTI), with the aim of ensuring the quality of refrigerated foods throughout the supply chain, the agency reported in a statement.
Food safety is a top priority, ffxiv gil, for the chain of supply of chilled and frozen food. The goods must arrive in the best conditions of conservation and an optimal state to the consumer. But any food, before reaching the table, has followed a complex logistical process stretching from the product packaging, the shipment from the factory to the warehouse, the distributor and retail outlet in this journey using different modes of, aika gold, transport, land , maritime, rail, a set of operations that are part of the supply chain of the product.
And it is here where the project Chill-On and which acquires its interest as it seeks to harness new information technologies as a tool to improve the quality, safety and transparency of the food supply chain.
Iten, ffxiv gil, is an active participant of the project that is supported by the European Union under the Sixth Framework Programme and consists of a total of 24 partners, including technological centers, universities and companies from countries like Germany, Israel, Italy, United Kingdom, Chile, Greece, China and the Netherlands. The Institute is embedded in the integration of the device within the packaging, in addition to the development of software that will allow decision making based on the real-time data sent by the device eCHILL-ON, and collected in a central system .
Because fish is the third most consumed product in Europe, and because it is a highly exposed to microbiological contamination, the supply chain of chilled and frozen fish, has been selected as a test case for this project. Additionally, to ensure the transfer to all sectors, has been selected the chicken meat as a second test of the proposed group.
Labels eCHILL-ON and its integration into the container make research activities focus on intelligent packaging. It is a combination of tags with time-temperature indicators (TTI) and Radio Frequency Identification tags (RFID), which allow the location and traceability of the product in any of the various stages of logistics. This makes it possible to detect changes in the product immediately and therefore be corrected for that product arrives in the best conditions at your destination. RESULTS
These results were presented in November at a conference organized by Iten and center TTZ-German Technology Transfer Center, with IDtrack to present new solutions for improving efficiency in the supply chain of chilled and frozen products under the European project CHILL-ON. This conference will be held next November 18 in Barcelona within the National Congress of the Identification and Traceability Technology, more specifically into one offorums, 'Friotrack', focusing on new solutions for the cold chain.
In it, experts in the cold chain approached innovative solutions to improve safety, transparency and quality of frozen and chilled products.
