Summary / Description

Summary / Description

Manufacturers have already deployed RFID technology in products that could be spoiled during transportation due to temperature extremes. If the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, a permanent electrical change occurs in the RFID-based label. In this paper, a mobile diagnosis system based on RFID for food safety is developed. The developed system consists of a mobile server and a remote server. In the mobile server, a PDA equipped with RFID CF Reader Card is used to acquire the food temperatures from RFID sensors. Moreover, the multi-sensor fusion algorithm is applied to integrate the sensor information.

Excerpt

Syscan International, based in Montreal, Quebec, has developed an RFID-based tracking system called Tempasure that provides a permanent record of a product’s temperature history during and after shipment. In this paper, a mobile diagnosis system based on RFID for food safety is developed. The developed system consists of a mobile server and a remote server. a PDA equipped with RFID CF Reader Card is used as the mobile server. The PDA acquires the food temperatures from RFID sensors. The RFID sensors from KSW Microtec, a company based in Dresden, Germany, operate at 13.56MHz and have a read range of around 10 cm. The sensor can be programmed to record temperature data at regular intervals or to record data only when the product temperature is outside certain pre-programmed parameters. As shown in Fig. 2, data which characterize food status can be easily acquired through RF signals transmitting between PDA and RFID sensors. KSW-TempSens [8] is a new generation ISO standard 15693 compliant smart label products with integrated temperature sensor and logging functionality. The sensor uses its battery to store temperature and time data in its memory.

Claims

A data processing system which collects data regarding a consumption behavior of a specific consumable commodity at a specific space, comprising:an ultrasonic sensor which detects an ordinary consumer positioned in said specific space;

an IR sensor which detects a specific temperature generated by said specific consumable commodity consumed by said ordinary consumer;

a sensor driving unit which integrally moves said ultrasonic sensor and said IR sensor so as to direct them to said ordinary consumer whose position is detected; and

a consumption recording unit which records said specific temperature detected by said IR sensor.

Relevance

a PDA equipped with RFID CF Reader Card is used as the mobile server. The PDA acquires the food temperatures from RFID sensors. The RFID sensors from KSW Microtec, a company based in Dresden, Germany, operate at 13.56MHz and have a read range of around 10 cm. If the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, a permanent electrical change occurs in the RFIDbased label. When the RFID reader interrogates the tag, it will respond with data that indicates the warning state as well as its ID
