  1. July 5, 2004 Traceability System for Agricultural Products using RF-ID and Mobile Devices Koji SUGAHARA Dept. of Information Science and Technology National Agricultural Research Center, Japan

  2. Background of the development • Food safety problems in Japan • BSE (beef), Residual pesticide (vegetable), Deceptive labeling of food products, ... • More consumers have been interested in food safety. • Establishing food traceability • Needs to improve reliability of food production and distribution processes • Risk management in the accidents on food products Development of food traceability systems Urgent national projects by the government (MAFF)

  3. Virtually Identified Produce System (VIPS)A basic scheme of web-based traceability systemNational Food Research Institute

  4. SEICA

  5. Integrated traceability system for agricultural products • Production process management system • On-site data input using mobile phone and PDA • Easy input method to select the item menus • Distribution process management system • Correct identification of product lots based on RF-ID • Relationship of lot ID in dividing and mixing lots • Web-based remote database system -- VIPS • Product information disclosure system • Displaying each product’s data to consumers - VIPS • Utilizing ID labels, barcodes, and RF-ID tags

  6. Production process management system for agriculture, “AFAMA”JAITEA and NARC http://www.afama.ne.jp/ Displays on a mobile phone(on-site inputting) Inputting records about farm works and agro-material applications(pesticides, fertilizers, machines, ..) A display on a PC browser(inputting the schedules)

  7. For PDA For PC GIS-based farm diary systemAvailable for using PDA and PChttp://riss.narc.affrc.go.jp/resources.html Input Diary data display Farm field map

  8. cultivation harvest shipping transporting sorting delivery sales Farm Home Farmers, carriers, retailers, and consumers can refer each product’s production and distribution data. Integrated traceability system using RF-IDLinking different DBs based on product ID of RF-ID tags Linkage based on product ID Production Process DB Distribution Process DB Production data Distribution data RF-ID

  9. A case of the system experiments • Fruit traceability system project • By Yamagata Prefectural Government, since 2003 • Items: Pear (Nov.), Strawberry (Feb.), Cherry (Jun.) • Cooperative partnershipFarmers, a wholesale market, a co-op store, and consumers in Yamagata Prefecture For sales at the storeInternet-connected terminals(PC) with RF-ID readers For home deliveryPasting 2D-barcode & URL labels to the productsBrowsing with web-accessible mobile phones or PC

  10. Inputting the production data by a farmerBy accessing “AFAMA” with a mobile phone Mobile phone

  11. “m-chip” by Hitachi Ltd.Each of these chips has unique ID. RF-ID tag (barcode label), and RF-ID readerRecording each product’s data on the distribution process RF-ID chip and tag coated with PET PDA & connecting RF-ID reader 2D-barcode & URL printed label The barcode codes the same URL string.

  12. A RF-ID reader and a tag attached to a boxRecording relationship of the fruit lot ID and the box ID in box packing of pear fruits RF-ID tag

  13. Shipping strawberries from the marketAttaching RF-ID tags to the boxes, URL labels to the packs. RF-ID tag Each product’s web page for consumers

  14. Subjects of development • Identification of product lots • Making relationship of lot ID in dividing or mixing lots • Automation system to attach and read RF-ID tags • More efficient data input on each of fields and crops • Linkage among different databases • Distributed DBs and data exchange systems • Web service to refer products’ data among the DBs • Effective application of RF-ID • Reducing the operational costs RAM type --> Reuse of boxes and attached RF-ID tags • Improving efficiency to check products’ ID and data ROM type --> Faster reading ID and recording to the DB
