The School of Telecommunication Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena is participating in a European project which aims to identify the origin of the products used for food processing radio systems. The "RFID.
From farm to consumer ", funded by the European Union, aims to demonstrate that this technology can be very helpful to small and medium enterprises in the food sector.
These systems help identify products and to improve industry processes, in order to increase the quality of foods available to citizens. Ten companies and organizations from six EU countries involved in this project coordinated by the University Wolverhampton in the UK.
The food industry is one that offers greater potential to benefit from a new technology like that of RFID (radio frequency identification).
For example can increase security on the origin of the products used to process the food.
It also reduces waste during food processing, optimizing process costs, and ultimately improving the quality of food reaching the consumer.
The project's main objective is to demonstrate that the new RFID technology is useful in all stages of the food chain from farm to final consumer, enabling close monitoring of the quality of the products used in food processing, including level of all European Union countries.
The project will pilot test to work with producers, shippers, retailers and consumers, to demonstrate the benefits of using RFID technology.
To do this, solutions implemented in different companies involved, to simplify the process of monitoring and guaranteeing the origin and quality of products used in food processing.
The production and distribution of food and beverages is one of the largest industries in the EU and worldwide.
The philosophy of the project is the development of pilot tests in several companies to increase the quality of food.
It is also intended that these benefits reach the greatest number of citizens, creating business networks at European level to adopt RFID technology.
With the development of pilot tests, these industries are expected to prove the great benefit that can be obtained from the use and adoption of RFID technology.
In the Region of Murcia researchers and professors at the School of Telecommunications at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena will collaborate with the company Culmarex Eagles set to attempt to improve and automate processes using this technology and help improve the breeding and marketing of bream and sea bass, fish more tasty and healthy Mediterranean diet.
