Product Quality And Safety

As China’s agricultural output has improved, the national and local monitoring system of agricultural product safety has become much better, and monitoring standards have become increasingly strict. Despite this, there are agricultural product safety incidents which have caused consumer panic. One way to address this is by properly establishing tracking systems so that agricultural product logistics in China can be tracked and monitored. We explored this research objective with agricultural traceability and security in mind. One option that could be considered is the blockchain technology. Blockchain could also be used to ascertain the provenance of agricultural products to increase the quality and safety of the Chinese agricultural supply chain. In this context, this research converged on big data and technology, platforms and other means for product quality and safety of agricultural products traceability. In order to verify the accuracy of these three convergence, regression analysis were used to construct five models for verification of three hypothesis. The results show that based on “Internet+”, using big data, big technology and big platform can significantly increase the accuracy of agricultural products traceability system hence improve consumer acceptance of the safety of agricultural products.

The agricultural product traceability system based on blockchain can monitor the entire growth cycle of agricultural products, trace it at any time, and cannot tamper with information without authorization. However, the energy consumption of the entire system is relatively high due to the introduction of blockchain technology. In order to alleviate the problem of high overall energy consumption, we are trying to reduce the communication power consumption between terminal sensors and the full nodes of the blockchain. We use the K-means algorithm, the DBSCAN algorithm and the improved DK fusion algorithm we proposed to deploy blockchain full nodes to the agricultural products sensors that have been determined to reduce the communication power consumption of the sensor terminals and improve the coverage of the full nodes to the terminal sensors.

Purpose Blockchain technology offers a lot of potential benefits in supply chain management. However, there is a need of a reference model which addresses the gaps in existing frameworks. This paper aims to propose a blockchain technology-based reference model which can be applied to global logistics operations. Design/methodology/approach The researchers have integrated the fit-for-purpose theoretical framework and prototyping methodology to design the reference model, a blockchain-based logistics, tracking and traceability system (BLTTS). The researchers demonstrated the application of the reference model through a health-care supply chain case study. The proposed BLTTS can be implemented across global logistics operations for business performance improvement. Findings The research provides a framework and recommendations for global companies to consider when adopting the blockchain technology for implementation. The researchers found that the Ethereum blockchain technology improves security of the data shared within the block through the secure hashing algorithm 1. The hash algorithm ensures anonymity of the involved parties. The model integrates blockchain with supply chain thus creating transparent process, efficiency and real-time communication. Research limitations/implications The reference model will offer a better solution to global logistics operations challenges. It provides recommendations to key stakeholders involved in logistics operations segment of the logistics industry while adopting blockchain technology. Apart from the methodological limitation of the study, the system compatibility and the layer configuration aspects might be posing potential challenges while upscaling the implementation. Originality/value The proposed reference model overcomes the drawbacks of existing models as it integrates Ethereum technology. In addition, the researchers have applied the model to demonstrate its functioning in real-time environment, which could guide for future research.

As the traceability system of agricultural products supply chain has much links and complex factors, difficulty to model, a unified hierarchical model was constructed and optimized by analyzing of agricultural products supply chain from farm to plate and extracting of typical flow and main factors. The unified model has two dimensions of flow and factor, each dimension is divided into several levels. The model can describe suitably of quality flow, information flow and material flow of traceability system. The model was optimized through the analysis of quality data in traceability system. we pointed out that the agricultural products processing is the most important aspect in agricultural products supply chain.

Technical Requirements

Traceability has become an important aspect in supply chain management, particularly in safety-sensitive industries like food or pharmaceuticals. At the same time, blockchain arose as an innovative technology that has created excitement about its potential applications. Aim of this research paper is to analyze the requirements of the main stakeholders along the supply chain regarding a blockchain-based traceability system (BBTS). The supply chain is considered from agriculture to retail. The main result of this work is a specification framework, which consist of a supply chain process model describing activities relevant for food traceability, a collection of usage requirements formulated as data classes, a summary of technical requirements regarding data access, storage and processing, and interoperability requirements necessary to assure digital communication and permanent operability of the BBTS. Based on this, general application guidelines for digital information systems are derived and the blockchain technology is evaluated with regard to its potential in meeting requirements and challenges. A distinction between public and sensitive data appears to be necessary to assure traceability and trust in the supply chain. A two-part architecture involving a public permissioned blockchain network is proposed as the most promising basis for a digital traceability system in the food industry.
