RFID tracing of goods
October 16th, 2005
itworldcanada.com has an intresting article on the uses of RFID in meeting new tracing requirements made by main stream consumers.
“At the federal level, the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada agency recently released a policy framework outlining the direction of regulation over the next five years, stating the goal is to make 80 per cent of all food products traceable by 2008.”
The thing is consumers want more information about the origins of the food they eat, and that means that you have to accommodate more accurate tracing of goods in your value chain. If that is to be done by using RFID or similar – that’s a lot of tags!:
“We looked at the processes and realized every single commodity, every supply chain, had its own definition of traceability and [implementation mechanisms]. So when you get to [the] retail level, it can potentially become a nightmare,” Sherwood says. “You would have to support 15-20 ways to track products: beef one way, pork another, chicken yet another, and so on. The retailer would [face] a complete mess of information requirements and systems.”
Barcodes probably can’t do the trick – actually they could turn out to be even more expensive than RFID due to the scanning process.
I think this is great! I would love to be able to take my handheld and point at a steak to see if its Argentinean and whether the poor cow had been given penicillin.

Jeg mener hvem er Ditte? Der er jo INGEN der besøger dette site eller laver kommentarer så undskyld, men at der er en der gør det og endda tjekker tilbage giver ikke mening :-)

Jeg giver sjældent mening :-) Og hvorfor overhovedet blogge, hvis der alligevel ikke er nogen der læser det? Endsige, du forventer læser det?

Det er mest for at tvinge mig selv til at være updatet, og så har jeg nemmere ved at huske det jeg skriver om. Hvordan har du fundet sitet her?

jeg er blevet ‘anbefalet’ det af en ven. Jeg er selv netop begyndt at blogge, og udforsker genren…

Kære Ditte,
det gør der mig bekendt ikke.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog er nok det bedste.
Udfordingen er – tror jeg – at man skal finde ét emne at blogge om, for ellers bliver det online dagbog, og det er ikke så spændende for andre (medmindre man er sådan lidt Nicoline Wedelin eller lign).

Hej Kristian
Jeg læser skam også din blog engang imellem ;)
Jeg kan sagtens se fordelene ved RFID, men er også meget bekymret for privacy issues i den forbindelse. Slå evt. et smut forbi http://www.spychips.com
