Improving traceability systems in the food industry with RFID support to achieve HACCP requirements for food control in the supply chain

Abstract

: Achieving HACCP requirements for food control has become a basic requirement in the food industry, and the food control system needs an effective and low-cost tool for food control during work in the supply chain, and this research is based on studying the effectiveness of the RFID-based traceability tool used to identify units Defective supply chain and the traceability system identifies defective units in the supply chain in an easy and cost-effective way in combination with RFID technology. Through research, the effectiveness of the traceability system was studied to achieve the requirements of HACCP for food control, as this system is built and applied in many food factories by discovering defective units in finished products, as well as identifying potential defects during operation and supported by RFID technology dynamically. In order to identify the defective units, the study was carried out by distributing sixty survey forms to workers in ten food factories with a total of 600 forms, but the completed forms were 511 forms to identify the effectiveness of this system and its compatibility with HACCP requirements for food control. It became clear through field study that the system needs to be modified to include all phases in the production chain and to be more dynamic and support it to obtain a final system that helps to track down the defective units during the phases of the supply chain.
