Product Packaging Level Serialization System

【Chinese Packaging Network News】 Product packaging level serialization system includes marking and tracking the packaging of food products and transport packaging used to transport the food to the warehouse. The data settlement center will receive the transport packaging code uploaded by the mobile phone from the receiving point, and the auxiliary information such as the time, date, location and mobile equipment identity certificate related to the transport packaging code. The purpose is to package the marked food product and Received volume associated.

TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to food tracking systems, especially those systems that need to track the entire distribution process.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The entry of contaminated food into different regions and countries through distribution systems at all levels exposes many people to great health risks. At the same time, food contamination may be intentional or unintentional. Once it is suspected or discovered, it needs to respond quickly to avoid contaminated products entering a wider population.
Currently, food tracking systems, especially for fresh fruits and vegetables, often do not accurately locate and isolate potentially contaminated agricultural products. Sometimes, the only way is to recall, or for reasons that are responsible to Other brands, the dealer wants to destroy all the inventory of the batch. Backtracking food shipment records from the point of sale to the manufacturer takes a lot of time, and the records themselves may also lack sufficient information to allow us to identify suspicious links, farms, or raw materials. Because of concerns that the purchased food may be contaminated, retailers and consumers may only be able to discard products from the same dealer. Therefore, the price paid by distributors during the outbreak of food contamination incidents is very high. Even in the absence of food contamination incidents, the potential losses of distributors’ stock foods are always present.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned invention provides a low-cost food tracking system that can utilize on-the-spot and nationwide mobile network infrastructure to deliver on-the-spot information about the initial packaging or food and agricultural goods receiving point. In addition, the mobile phone base station also provides information on the location of the communication, the identity of the mobile phone or the user. And the date and time information of this communication will also be uploaded through the mobile phone base station or other source detection communication equipment. At the same time, this information can record some of the details of food raw materials, like fresh produce, so that contaminated or otherwise adversely affected foods can be identified more quickly and efficiently.
In one version of this invention, agricultural product packaging (such as cartons or clamshell food containers) is individually coded by applying a label printed with serialized information. Individual packages of agricultural products are grouped together (eg arranged in stacks) and placed in shipping containers, ie boxes that can be coded the same. The code applies to all shipping containers and is associated with a list of agricultural product packaging codes that are assigned to or assigned to the shipping containers so that the identity of the container that the container is used for to prove its identity is also used to prove the packaging of a series of agricultural products in the container. Coded identity function.
In general, shipping containers (such as boxes) are transported to the preparatory area, and growers (including their agricultural product brokers) can enter and leave the preparation area as required. After the agricultural product purchaser obtains the transport package, it is transported to the individual farm or where they store the agricultural product. The shipping box was opened at the scene and individual agricultural product packaging (packing boxes or clamshell food boxes) was distributed to all distributors. It may be possible to advance, at the same time, or distribute a box of agricultural products to distributors. The site will then use a mobile phone to transmit voice, text, or picture information to the data settlement center. The transport packaging box can be coded by making phone calls or browsing web pages. Data is passed to a specific farm or route point. Its location information is tied to a specific farm or field; time/date data, available harvest time data are associated with the location and harvest weather or related conditions; and mobile numbers can be tied to specific harvesting teams or Growers.
Each agricultural product packaging box that has arrived or has reached the customer will be registered in the data settlement center with the original product information. Food contamination, damage, or other failed agricultural products Once discovered or suspected, agricultural products can be submitted to the Data Settlement Center or other connected information repository to quickly identify the source of each problematic food. It is easier to determine the source of the problem or the degree of contamination by identifying the problem food sample information. For example, all contaminated products can be traced back to a specific farm, field, or farm collection to focus on common projects such as farms, harvesting teams, or related shippers.

Early detection of food contamination or quality issues involving raw materials can also better understand the causes of the problem, and at the same time, more timely, focused and effective measures can be taken to remedy the problem. In this way, good food quality can be better or at least consistently maintained.
Having the ability to track the origin of food raw materials can also provide retailers and customers with more information, make it easier for them to choose the foods they are interested in, and provide distributors such as food companies with more opportunities to contact customers. For example, interested retailers or customers can find the harvesting data and location of the corresponding agricultural product, and the local weather and other conditions that can be considered at the time. The subscription service can specifically notify interested retailers or customers according to pre-set agricultural products or conditions, such as the harvest time of farm-specific field crops. The warning system can be used to notify registered customers of potential problems with food, including the coded intervals involved. For example, in the monitoring list, the customer is provided with a product code range, and the customer is directly provided with information or advice to contact the distributor, the retailer, and other responsible parties having access to the database.
The test page associates the product packaging code with the place, time, date, and caller to achieve various levels of interaction. For example, after the team leader of the harvesting team contacts the data settlement center, it may receive a valid notification of the uploaded shipping package code or, if it is invalid, the system will notify it.
Transport packaging codes can be uploaded in many ways. For example, the code can be via text message or dialing an automated answering system or data entry clerk. If an invalid code is registered, the staff or the program will correct it to ensure that the recorded code is valid. When an error occurs, the system will call back. You can also upload code by sending image data. For example, the box code may contain a variety of symbols, such as text, symbols, bar codes, and other symbols that can be translated from the picture. Therefore, pictures of shipping containers can also be transmitted to data settlement centers, which decrypt them and store them together with other valid information. In addition, if the code is not recorded successfully, the telephone system will process it by dialing back the phone or other communication methods.
