Title
Field Experiment of an Extendable Traceability System: Application to the Quality Control of Beef-Product Distribution
Abstract
The aim of this research is to contribute to quality man- agement of food products by realizing a traceability system using sensor network and RFID technology. We clarified re- quirements on system scalability, independence of each dis- tribution process, and network infrastructure with consid- eration of meat product distribution in Japan. Four mech- anisms were developed to satisfy these requirements: IPv6 Sensor Tag, Context Composition, Linked Object Traceabil- ity, and Plug and Play Service. In addition, the mechanisms were examined by constructing a traceability system and by applying it to a real Beef product distribution. Two field ex- periments have been done in two years. Through the field experiments, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed four mechanisms by tracing ten cows with about fifty sensor tags.
