Traceability is considered a promising solution for product safety. However, the data in the traceability system is only a claim rather than a fact. Therefore, the quality and safety of the product cannot be guaranteed since we cannot ensure the authenticity of products (aka counterfeit detection) in the real world. In this paper, we focus on counterfeit detection for the traceability system. The risk of counterfeiting throughout a typical product life cycle in the supply chain is analyzed, and the corresponding requirements for the tags, packages, and traceability system are given to eliminate these risks. Based on the analysis, an anti-counterfeiting architecture for traceability system based on two-level quick response codes (2LQR codes) is proposed, where the problem of counterfeit detection for a product is transformed into the problem of copy detection for the 2LQR code tag. According to the characteristics of the traceability system, the generation progress of the 2LQR code is modified, and there is a corresponding improved algorithm to estimate the actual location of patterns in the scanned image of the modified 2LQR code tag to improve the performance of copy detection. A prototype system based on the proposed architecture is implemented, where the consumers can perform traceability information queries by scanning the 2LQR code on the product package with any QR code reader. They can also scan the 2LQR code with a home-scanner or office-scanner, and send the scanned image to the system to perform counterfeit detection. Compared with other anti-counterfeiting solutions, the proposed architecture has advantages of low cost, generality, and good performance. Therefore, it is a promising solution to replace the existing anti-counterfeiting system.

Traceability System

Establishing a blockchain food traceability system (BFTS) is increasingly important and urgent to resolve the contradiction between consumers’ intention regarding safe food selections and the spread of polluted foods. Using the advantages of blockchain, such as immutability, decentralization, openness, and anonymity, we can build trusted food traceability systems based on these important characteristics. With reliable information, traceability from production to sales can effectively improve food safety. In this research, multiple models, namely, the information success model (ISS) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) are formed into a conceptual integrated framework to study the intentions’ influenced factors of BFTS technology for Chinese consumers to help ensure food safety and the quality of Chinese organic food products. A face-to-face questionnaire survey with 300 valid responses was analyzed by Partial Least Square from the Chinese consumers focusing on the organic food products. This study found that the attitude and perceived behavioral control qualities significantly and positively affect the usage intention in adopting BFTS, while the subjective norms are positively but not significantly correlation with the usage intention in using BFTS. The above results will inform suggestions for productors and academics along with implications to promote BFTS’ usage intention.

ABSTRACT<br />Background of research is human errors in manual data recording, less accurate and data<br />searching requires several time, thus cause difficulties in traceability system, while traceability is<br />to collect product history from receipt of raw materials, processing, packaging until product<br />delivery to customer. The purpose of this research is to design, and develop information system in<br />fish processing to assist traceability of seafood product from receiving, processing until shipping<br />to customer. System have feature to print QR Code label to put in products, which is readability<br />through label scanning, in packaging stage and product shipments. Information label consist of<br />product information,, species type, grade, and weight, supplier information, processing date, and<br />fishing location. System design consist of feasibility study, data collection, system analysis,<br />system design, and development, testing and implementation. Through the summary transaction<br />module, fish processing can be traced from the beginning, starting from the stage of receiving,<br />cutting, retouching to packaging. The QR code stores information where input data is faster<br />through scanning. The use of internal lot codes, makes it easier to trace fish resources at each<br />stage of fish processing, which consists of the code of the fish catch area, supplier code, and fish<br />processing date.<br />Keywords: Traceability, QR Code, Data Management, Information System<br />ABSTRAK<br />Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah banyaknya kesalahan dalam input data manual,<br />ketidakakuratan dan pencarian data yang memerlukan waktu yang lama, kesulitan dalam sistem<br />penelusuran dimana penelusuran sebagai kegiatan mengumpulkan data riwayat produk dari<br />penerimaan bahan baku, pengolahan, pengemasan sampai pengiriman ke pelanggan.Tujuan<br />penelitian ini adalah untuk merancang, dan membangun sistem informasi pengolahan ikan untuk<br />membantu penelusuran produk perikanan dari awal sampai akhir. Sistem menyediakan fitur untuk<br />print label QR Code untuk ditempel pada kemasan produk yang dapat dibaca oleh alat pemindai<br />dalam pengemasan maupun pengiriman produk. Informasi label terdiri dari informasi produk,<br />jenis spesies ikan, jenis, grade dan berat, informasi pemasok, tanggal pengolahan dan lokasi<br />penangkapan ikan. Perancangan terdiri dari studi pendahuluan, pengumpulan data, analisa sistem,<br />perancangan sistem dan pengujian dan implementasi sistem. Melalui modul summary transaction,<br />dapat di telusuri pengolahan ikan dari awal mulai dari tahap penerimaan, pemotongan, retouching<br />sampai pengemasan. Kode QR menyimpan informasi sebagai kode untuk scanning tahap<br />pengolahan lanjutan, proses penginputan data lebih cepat melalui pemindaian maka data ikan<br />sudah otomatis tercatat pada sistem. Penggunaan kode internal lot, memudahkan dalam<br />melakukan penelusuran sumber ikan pada setiap tahap pengolahan ikan, yang terdiri dari kode<br />wilayah tangkapan ikan, kode supplier, dan tanggal pemrosesan ikan.<br />Kata Kunci: Penelusuran, QR Code, Manajemen Data, Sistem Informasi

In a global world, where a lot of international trade treaties have been signed, we must face new threats such as influenza A (H1N1) or bioterrorism. In this context, to control the origins of food can save lives and big amounts of money. Meanwhile, new regulations in the European Union have arisen. In accordance with the provisions of Article 18 of European Regulation 178/2002, from 1(st) January 2005, all European companies in the food industry must have implemented a traceability system. However, it may sound strange that after all these years with this regulation in force some of the workers in this area don´t even know what traceability is. This document pretends to give some details on food traceability, and it will expose a real case in which cutting-edge technologies have been applied to solve the traceability in rural areas of northern Spain, by improving productivity and allowing small businesses to offer more competitive and safer products, and of higher quality.
