RFID Hawaiian style

The issues of food safety, supply chain visibility, and traceability all converged in Hawaii this past year with an RFID pilot for produce.

This Hawaii Farm Bureau project was funded by the Economic Development Alliance of Hawaii, and installed by the State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture. The pilot encompassed the supply chain from growers to store, with a distribution center at the crucial middle portion.

“The Hawaii Produce Traceability initiative is an integral part of the State Food Safety Certification system,” said Dr. John Ryan, administrator, Quality Assurance Division, State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture, who oversees the project, in a press release from early 2009. “This project provides the backbone for future and more preventive closed-loop sensor technologies that are capable of measuring and reporting biocontaminants and temperature variations via the RFID system as produce moves through the supply chain. The RFID system will provide managers with improved real-time control over potential food safety problems and help to prevent widespread human and economic impact.”
