The use of RFID tags in food and beverage processing industry

RFID technology plays a significant role in the processing and production of the food and beverage industry, not only improving production efficiency, but also enhancing the quality and safety level of food production.

Mainly reflected in the following five aspects

1. Procurement and receipt of raw materials for food and beverage

In the raw material procurement stage, RFID technology attaches RFID UHF passive ISO18006C tags to the raw material containers to record key information of the raw materials, such as production date, supplier information, batch number, etc.

RFID technology can achieve automatic reading and input of raw material information, greatly reducing the error rate of manual information input, and effectively improving the efficiency and accuracy of raw material procurement and reception.

2. Cleaning and sorting of food and beverage raw materials

RFID is applied in the cleaning and sorting process of raw materials, which can quickly identify the source of raw materials and automatically set corresponding cleaning and sorting plans based on different RFID UHF passive sticker tag information. Greatly improves the efficiency of cleaning and sorting.

3. Cutting and grinding of food and beverage raw materials

In the cutting and grinding process, the application of RFID UHF passive paper sticker label is more flexible and diverse. It can be embedded into cutting tools and grinding equipment, recording the operating status and service life of the equipment, providing operational data of the equipment, including operating time, operating frequency, etc. These data provide important references for equipment maintenance, extend the service life of the equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.

4. Cooking, baking, and steaming of food and beverages

RFID technology is applied to monitor temperature and time in cooking, baking, and steaming processes.

By adding RFID UHF EPC Gen2 sticker tags to cooking utensils or containers, real-time cooking temperature and time are recorded, and temperature thresholds are set. Once the temperature exceeds the set range, the RFID system will automatically sound an alarm. Ensured the quality and safety of the product.

5. Product traceability and recall

The application of RFID UHF tags on product packaging has achieved full traceability of the product. By scanning RFID tags, the production process and supply chain information of the product can be quickly traced.

Once a product quality issue or recall event occurs, RFID technology can quickly locate the affected batches and products, achieving rapid recall. It can reduce the recall cost of enterprises.
