The setup of RFID technology provided by Pepperl+Fuchs offers compelling advantages for food tracking and tracing in meat production facilities, as it allows fully automated noncontact detection along the entire process chain. The transponders are resistant to contamination and survive large temperature fluctuations as well as changes in humidity.
Thus, this identification technology is largely maintenance-free. RFID transponders also offer the opportunity during the process to receive and store information. Since they are passive elements, no additional power supply is needed. The RFID transponders enable a fully automated and safe internal tracking and tracing of meat.
