Conceptual Design of Mobile Data Collection System for Traceability in Agriculture

Abstract:

Issues for food traceability are receiving enthusiastic research interests recently. Traceability system is aimed to provide information visibility through the farming, production, packing, distribution, transportation, and sales process. The objective of this research is to develop a mobile data collection system to enhance the efficiency of e-traceability data construction. The mobile system consists of a front-end application service with cell phone and QR code labels. By scanning the QR code labels related to the farming operations, traceability data can be uploaded simultaneously to the back-end web server. The miscellaneous traceability data construction can be simply replaced by scanning QR code labels. Applications of this mobile system can significantly reduce the complexity of traceability in agriculture.
