Abstract:

With growing consumer health awareness, ensuring food safety and quality throughout the supply chain is crucial, particularly for perishable goods. Contamination can occur during production, processing, or distribution, making real-time monitoring essential. This study proposes an affordable Smartphone-based food traceability system (FTS) that utilizes RFID technology and smartphone sensors. A smartphone-based RFID reader tracks products, while integrated sensors monitor temperature, humidity, and location during storage and transport. The system is assessed in the kimchi supply chain in Korea, providing real-time data to both managers and consumers. It offered comprehensive product tracking, including temperature and humidity records, ensuring transparency and safety. Compared to traditional methods, the proposed system demonstrated improved efficiency in handling large volumes of data while maintaining accurate traceability. The results highlight its potential for enhancing food safety and quality across supply chains.
