Abstract
Food quality and safety has gained main attention, due to increasing health awareness of customer, improved economic standards and lifestyle of modern societies. Thus, it is important for consumers to purchase good quality products in order to keep the customer satisfaction level. In this study, we propose traceability system for food by monitoring the location as well as temperature and humidity. The RFID technology and wireless sensor network are utilized in this study to perform the experiment. The real testbed implementation has been performed in one of the Korean Kimchi Supply Chain. The result showed that our proposed system gave the benefit to the manager as well as customer by providing real time location as well as temperature-humidity history. It will help manager to optimize the food distribution while for the customer it will increase the satisfaction by maintaining the freshness of product.
