With food safety problems on the increase, and the growing demand for a better quality of life, the traceability of food products, particularly those of animal origin, is becoming a priority. Yet many livestock farmers continue to use traditional methods such as branding, barcoding or tattooing. As a livestock owner or manager, it's essential to keep abreast of developments in the sector, in order to optimize the strategic management of your operation. In this context, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is emerging as a more effective solution, offering livestock identification and tracking services that boost consumer confidence.

The use of electronic animal identification technologies is a growing trend in the livestock industry, and plays a key role in food safety supervision and inspection. Chainway's intelligent solution, integrating PDA terminals, barcode scanning, RFID technology and network systems, enables all information to be recorded and managed throughout the animal's life cycle, from breeding to processing and sale. This system ensures complete traceability of food products of animal origin, from field to plate, and is an effective standard for protecting farms against epidemics.

Breeding management

Process supervision

As part of market control, regulatory authorities require all trays, packaging and price tags to be fitted with RFID tags. These electronic tags contain detailed information such as origin, product type, quality and price. All this data is accessible via a central database, guaranteeing complete supervision of the process. In the event of a health problem, the meat concerned can be recalled immediately to minimize the risk to the public. Chainway's integrated solution ensures the traceability of products of animal origin, from production to point-of-sale distribution.

Delivery management

To guarantee total traceability, each tray or case of fresh meat is fitted with an RFID tag prior to transport. The products are then transported to supermarkets or points of sale according to a defined itinerary. GPS tracking enables the position of delivery vehicles to be followed in real time. When they arrive, they simply scan the RFID tags with a PDA to confirm receipt. The Chainway solution thus enables real-time tracking of food product transport, improving the efficiency of distribution and inventory management.
