Background overview:


Looking back over the past 10 years, large-scale food safety incidents such as plasticizers, tainted milk powder, and cooking oil have occurred one after another, which has caused the public's attention to food safety issues to continue to rise. Even milk powder has to be purchased in Hong Kong, the United States and other places. It all stems from concerns about the safety of domestic food. With today's strategy, the industry must establish a food history traceability system as soon as possible to make all the supply process information from manufacturing to retail transparent, so as to restore consumer confidence.


In all fairness, there have been many food safety outbreaks in recent years, which inevitably makes consumers panic. But in fact, similar times are not unique to China. Even Japan, which seems to have strict food safety controls, has also experienced food safety incidents. The most impressive thing is the Xueyin Milk Factory in June 2000. At the end of March 2003, a power outage caused an abnormal production process, which eventually led to the poisoning of 15,000 people in the Kansai region of Japan. The Snowy Print Company’s mad cow disease beef and other incidents have also been criticized by people, and its reputation is discredited, and it is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.


importance:

This proves that the conscience movement of the industry alone is not enough to ensure the safety of food ingredients, and it is difficult to gain the full trust of consumers; the best way is to use smart technology to establish a history of raw material agricultural production, processing and production, A complete production resume system such as production circulation resumes accurately lists various product information, as well as the date and expiration date of the food, and is protected by a rigorous source management mechanism, allowing consumers to eat at ease. In the event of a food safety hazard, the industry can also rely on accurate resume information to find out according to the map, and carry out the recovery measures accurately and quickly, so as to minimize the impact on the public.


Nowadays, when the trend of Industry 4.0, some food industry companies are moving towards the goal of smart factory and automation, and at the same time, they are also taking advantage of the trend to establish a production traceability system for food safety issues. This has the following advantages:


(1) Guarantee food quality: standardization and standardization of production management is a powerful guarantee for improving food quality;

(2) Implement defect recall: When product quality defects are found, the defective food can be quickly recalled to minimize damage and loss;

(3) Enhance brand image: Food safety traceability system is an effective guarantee to protect consumers' rights and interests from infringement, and an effective way to enhance corporate brand image;

(4) Improve management efficiency: Greenness traceability system integrates standardized production management system, and speeds up information transmission through the Internet of Things technology, which can effectively improve the efficiency of the enterprise's supply chain;

(5) Enjoying state subsidies: Actively respond to the country's implementation of the pilot food safety traceability system, and take the lead in enjoying relevant national support policies.


For example, one of the following food factories actually started such a technology introduction plan. The following is their automated packaging traceability system and MWS planning diagram.


working principle:

1. Working characteristics, non-contact code assignment, through the system software and the coding equipment and code reading equipment information exchange, build a bridge between the coding equipment and the code reading communication, and perform coding actions on the products that need to be coded. And upload all barcode information to data system binding (such as MES system, database, etc. for storage).

2. Data IOT RFID chip, after the one-object-one-code barcode IOT chip, the RFID chip barcode is printed, automatically attached to the box body, and flows into the pallet after sealing the box with the help of automatic box sealing.

3. Or the unmanned forklift will automatically send the full cargo pallets into the warehouse according to the tasks assigned by the system, the entrance will automatically read the RFID, the system will allocate the warehouse storage location, and the forklift will continue to send it to the designated location according to the task.

4. The forklift or unmanned forklift will also take out the goods stored in response according to the system assignment. After the warehouse exit RFID is read, it can be traced to all the boxes of the pallet, and all the products with the corresponding serial numbers in the box can also be inquired.
