Automatic identification and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) are two most applicable electronic tools for food and feed traceability. This work has presented the main features of printed graphic identifiers, radio frequency identifiers, and electronic data interchange protocols that have potential for the traceability of food and feed. Two-dimensional printed graphic identifiers offer cheaper electronic identification alternative to radio-frequency identifiers (RFID), and may be the best alternatives until such time that existing difficulties with RFID application to food substances, originating from attenuation, are addressed fully and properly. Preliminary results from an experiment aimed at the evaluation of UHF RFID application to the identification of modified atmosphere packaged meat show that to attain a probability of detection of approximately 0.67 (two-third) with a system that employs three antennae requires an effective radiated power of not less than 700 mW and distances of at most 0.2 m. Linearly polarized antennae performed better than circularly polarized, especially at longer distances. Presence of bone in the meat samples is observed to have positively affected readability, although further experimentation is necessary to verify this phenomenon. The lack of a single road-map to electronic data interchange (EDI) leaves the choice open to a few alternatives that may fall into two broad classes, namely internet based EDI enabled and traditional EDI based. Cost considerations make the former is an attractive choice and there are still developments in the area, perhaps with the new protocol, ebXML, leading the way. (original abstract)

Narzędzia elektroniczne, najczęściej stosowane w celu śledzenia partii żywności lub paszy to automatyczna identyfikacja oraz elektroniczna wymiana danych (EDI). Praca przedstawia podstawowe cechy drukowanych graficznych identyfikatorów, identyfikatorów wykorzystujących fale radiowe oraz protokołów elektronicznej wymiany danych, które mogą być stosowane przy śledzeniu partii żywności i pasz. Zastosowanie dwuwymiarowego drukowanego graficznego identyfikatora jest tańszym sposobem elektronicznej identyfikacji w stosunku do identyfikatorów opartych na falach radiowych i wydają się być najlepszych rozwiązaniem do momentu rozwiązania problemów, jakie obecnie występują przy zastosowaniu identyfikatorów radiowych do śledzenia partii żywności. Wstępne wyniki badań nad opracowaniem aplikacji wykorzystującej fale radiowe UHF do identyfikacji mięsa pakowanego w zmodyfikowanej atmosferze wykazują, że uzyskanie prawdopodobieństwa wykrycia równego 0,67 (dwie trzecie) przy zastosowaniu sytemu z trzema antenami wymaga efektywnej mocy nadawczej nie mniejszej niż 700 mW oraz odległości najwyżej 0,2 m. Zastosowanie anteny spolaryzowanej liniowo daje lepsze efekty niż spolaryzowanej kołowo, szczególnie na większych odległościach. Obecność kości w mięsie poprawia zdolność odczytu, jednak potwierdzenie tej obserwacji wymaga kolejnych badań. Brak jednego rozwiązania umożliwiającego elektroniczną wymianę danych (EDI) prowadzi do wyboru jednego z kilku dostępnych rozwiązań, które można zaklasyfikować do jednej z dwóch grup: EDI oparte na usługach internetowych oraz EDI oparte na rozwiązaniach tradycyjnych. Ze względów kosztowych pierwsze rozwiązanie wydaje się atrakcyjniejsze. Obecnie trwają nadal badania nad rozwojem w tym kierunku, między innymi nad nowym protokołem ebXML. (abstrakt oryginalny)
