DESCRIPTION
Farm to Fork is an open transnational food information framework which allows customers purchasing food products to access traceability information about the product. Professor Robert Newman, from the University of Wolverhampton’s School of Technology (Project Coordinator), presented the RFID F2F project, that aims at showcasing to SMEs the benefits of Radio-frequency Identification from the producer to the consumer. Two categories have been addressed and presented to the audience with focus with focus on wine and fish sectors (pilots by University of Vigo, Iñigo Cuiñas, and University of Ljubljana, Mira Trebar).TRANSCRIPT

Prof. Bob Newman
• EU CIP Project• 9 Partners in 5 countries (UK, Spain, Italy,
Slovenia, Belgium)• Aim - to provide consumers with a
means to find out where their food comes from
• Provide return on investment for all stages of the food production chain
– Area: Internet evolution and security– Objective: Strenghening SME competitive
advantage through RFID implementation– Project reference: 250444

Winery pilot (Spain)Viña Costeira
Prof. Iñigo Cuiñas
Denomination of Origin Ribeiro
Vitivinícola del RibeiroThe company
• Winery established in 1968– The first “Ribeiro” wine bottled and
labelled: “Pazo”
• Two goals:– Recovering the quality varietals of the
region– Modernise the winemaking techniques
• Production– 5M bottles per year– 40% of the area

PilotRFID/WSN proposal
• At the vineyard– Wireless Sensor Network– ZigBee technology
• At the winery– RFID for traceability purposes “what”, “where” and “when”• Additional benefits: automate data registration , error reduction,
accurate inventory control, better information sharing– Covering different steps of the business process:• Farm: grapes collection• Processing: grapes selection, chute dumping, pressing, must/wine
movements and treatments• Storage and delivery
• For customers– NFC/QR on products to access traceability information via web services
WSNNetwork deployment
WSNNetwork deployment
WSNConnectivity
• Connection among nodes
• Mesh topology• If one node fails
– Automatic reconfiguration
• Problems– Pine trees – Vineyard foliage
WSNConnectivity
• Global System Architecture
RFIDHardware definition
RFIDSoftware
• Most of the data collected by a RFID handheld reader
• Handheld capture application– Separate forms– Each one for each production process
• An EPCIS compliant XML file is generated with the data collected
• Extra information can be introduced– Chemical analysis data, i.e.
• English and Spanish versions of the application
RFIDSoftware
• Not many fields to fill• Possibility of using touch screen or keyboard buttons.• Information presented in an understandable way for the user• Two consecutive readings of EPC and User memory in the same tag
with only one button click
RFIDSoftware
Traceability application
RoI
• WSN– Reduction of time• Yesterday, an operator goes each day to the vineyards to take data• Now, data come to the computer
– Reduction of costs• In personnel• In treatments:– Ambient data used as entry to plague prediction model– Yesterday, 10-12 treatments against mildew– Now, treatments only in hazard time (in 2011 no mildew hazards)
• RFID at winery– Precision• All movements in the winery are registered
– Reduction of time to obtain the traceability history of a product• Yesterday, look among papers, Excel files, and notes (one morning)• Now, instant response from software (few seconds)
RFIDNFC at the bottles
• Final users application• An added value for
selection among wines:– Those F2F tagged will
provide more information than traditionally labelled
• Tests– Samsung Nexus S

Fish pilot (Slovenia)Fonda
Fish Pilot
• SME: Fonda.si.• Fish farm location: northern part of Adriatic sea. • Product: Piran sea bass.• Fish grows for 3-4 years in ”natural conditions”.• Delivery of fish from the sea to a consumer in one day.
Business Process
• All stages of supply chain. • Fresh and smoked sea bass.• Paper tag - Catch date, ...• On sale: Slovenia, Italy, ...
RFID Implementation
Processing Logistics Fishmarket
• Farm: Growing, Feeding, Inspection.• Processing: Sorting by product type, Preparing orders,
Weighing boxes, Printing RFID label, Adding RFID data loggers.
• Logistics: Transport from processing, Receiving at coldstore, Shiping from coldstore, Transport to retail/customer.
• Fishmarket: Receiving, Removing RFID data loggers.
Processing
• PC, Scale, RFID Printer, Handheld RFID Reader.• Wireless Internet Connection.
Logistics
Receiving Shipping
• PC, Fixed RFID Reader, 2 Reader Antennas.• Internet Connection.
Cold chain
’RFID data logger’ with Temperature
Sensor (IDS d.o.o)
Cold store Transport
Consumer
• Presentation of results at Fishmarket.• Important information:
– Place of origin, – Freshness, – Quality.
• Consumer scans QR code – receives the data.
Conclusions
• Replacement of manual based collection of data.
• Improved business processes.
• Labour savings, employees like the new system.
• ROI can be identified during longer period.
• Traceability data is available – web page.
• Consumers confidence is considerably improved.

Principles
• Ownership of information– Originator of data owns information– Controls how much (or how little) is released
•Organisation– One transnational system• Don’t need different system for different retailers• Don’t need different systems for different countries• Independent, so trustable
How it works
Products are serialised• Each product (unit) gets its own web site• The website gives
– marketing information– origin– suppliers– dates and times– cold chain information– etc, etc
• Web site can be accessed on in shop terminal (extended barcode)• Can be accessed on mobile phone or tablet (QR code)
Technical details
• Fully conforms to EPC global specs• Provides information sharing between companies
using shared database• Control and ownership of information
Membership
Payment model is ‘per hit’– costs more the more you get from it– will also need to fund production tracing and
equipment
Membership– will organise group membership with
appropriate organisations– biggest advantage for early adopters
Collateral benefits
•View through the supply chain– efficient information sharing system
– suppliers can ‘see’ both ways through the supply chain
•Benefits of process traceability– what you need depends on what you have
– process depends on uint tracking (RFID, barcodes), process modelling, sensing technology
– Often when installed this increases efficiency– better control
– able to track product when needed
Shared and private
How does an open, shared system provide individual businesses with competitive advantage?

FARM TO FORK
Set of open tools and standards to:• Manage products, assets, locations and documents
– Create and manage barcodes and RFID tags
• Collect and query information about sensor data, procedures and processes– Condition monitoring– Hazard analysis and critical control points
• Share information with business partners– With your customers as well– Bidirectional exchange
Developed with over 10 years experience on the SMEs marketPilots running in major food sectorsDeployed across all of Europe
- the system
FARM TO FORK
• Farm2Fork is about information– Collecting– Exchanging– Sharing
• Collecting this information is mandated by the law– It does not create additional work
• Paper based document handling is a false economy– You cannot use the information you produce
- why do you need it?
FARM TO FORK
• It lets you use the information you collect– Quality control– Better use of resources– Avoid costly mistakes– Food safety
• Large savings in terms of time– Time is the most precious of your assets, the most
costly of your ingredients
- information is not a burden
Call for expression of interest
•Farm to Fork Foundation– Needs national organisations, grow by affiliation
•Producers and retailers– Early adopters gain most advantage
•Systems integrators– To build business specific systems
