Project ForFood: Safe and performing supply-chain in food industry

February 14, 2014

The requirements of safety and quality are especially in food industry very high. The EU-regulation (EG) Nr. 178/2002 determines therefore the continuous traceability of food. Every participant of the supply-chain has to fulfil the documentation on the principle “one step up – one step down”.

In case the goods should not only be traced, but also be called back efficiently, a supply-chain comprehensive, continuous traceability of commodity flows with batch splitting is the requirement for an efficient execution.
This traceability requires the evaluation and saving of data along the whole supply chain, and fast possibilities for access and analysis.
 
Achievement
• Saving quality of food by sensor-based control of environmental conditions
• Increasing the efficiency of processes within the supply chain
• Raising the transparency of food supply chain
• Simplification of traceability of food

Solution
These aims should be achieved by an intelligent container and the needed infrastructure. Additionally the continuous commodity flow chain of food logistics will be researched.

Summary
The development of an integrated system, that should enable an extensive quality saving and traceability on the one hand and on the other hand that increases the efficiency of logistic processes.

To fulfill these requirements, an intelligent container and the needed infrastructure will be developed. DYNAMIC Systems supported this project providing in the development of transponders.
