RFID Time/Temperature in Cold Chain Management
by
Dr.Jean-Pierre Emond
Co-DirectorCenter for Food Distribution and Retailing
University of Florida
January 2006
The mission of the Center is to provide the food industry a unique environment
for developing knowledge that will assure food quality and safety
throughout the whole distribution chain.

Why is Time/Temperature tracking so important ?
Food Industryand

CFDR
Food Industry
Most perishable products are highly affected by
temperature (quality and safety)
Food Industry
Each year a retail store can loose $400 000 due to bad temperature management
Food Industry
Where temperature may be a problem?
Field, cooling, warehouse, transit, distribution and the
store
Food Industry
Knowing real-time temperature can allow to
predict “residual shelf life” and make decision based on
this knowledge
Food Industry
Models predicting quality
Food Industry
Models predicting qualitycan be done at:
Pallet levelCase levelItem level
Food Industry
Due to high water content, RFID temp tags must be placed on the outside.

Food IndustryMore applications
Prevent misplacement of products at DC
Smart transportation
Cooling optimization
Prevent “non-safe food” to enter in the
distribution chain
Cold Chain Diagnostic
Pharmaceutical Industry
Strict regulations about temperature range
Need very good accuracy
Able to read before opening the container
Pharmaceutical Industry
Many components of a shipping container are “unfriendly” to
typical RFID Temperature Tags

Conclusion
RFID Temp Tags open a new era in Cold Chain Management
Food Industry will benefit from new “smart technologies” using RFID
Pharmaceutical Industry can have a “real time” visibility of the cold chain
