Description
Summary:In the this paper it is analyzed how radio frequency identification (RFID) can be properly used to improve a traceability system in the agri-food chain. A new traceability system based on RFID technology has been designed and evaluated. Different case studies have been considered, taking into account various scenarios, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, underlining benefits and drawbacks. The proposed system was finally tested in a fruit warehouse. The main advantage of the RFID adoption is the opportunity to match traceability with other benefits, such as supply chain management, commodity value addition and brand management.
