| Abstract: |
| The “RFID-enabling Shenzhen Hong Kong integrated food safety and supply chain public information platform” is a service platform based on RFID technology to provide publicly interested information related to food safety, food sources and food logistics. While leveraging the RFID as a food information carrier, our solution also integrates with different technologies, such as barcode, network and communication, to formulate an integrated system consist of an information platform and a number of applications. These applications cover various sectors on the food supply chain from Shenzhen to Hong Kong, like farm, re-processing, re-packaging, distribution, transportation and inspection, in the area of data collection, recording and exchange. This information platform aims at facilitating a highly effective and efficient informatics supply chain management, as well as enabling a seamless integration on the information requirement among various sectors in the food supply to Hong Kong, in order to synchronize the physical and information logistics. Apart from supporting the monitoring and management activities conducted by the government departments, our solution also benefits both the Shenzhen and Hong Kong enterprises in their business operation and management. More importantly, the public now realizes the high quality of service from the information age and feels comfortably relief on the food supply. |
| Project Title: | Package-specific RFID Tagging and Embedding Technology |

| Department: | E-Business Technology Institute |
| Source(s) of Funding: | Guangdong-Hong Kong Technology Cooperation Funding Scheme (LSCM) |
| Start Date: | 05/2008 |
| Abstract: |
| This project is focused on the researches that will enable and facilitate RFID deployment in the product packaging industry. The research will be focused on the following aspects: 1. Design of package-specific antenna and inlay RFID antenna and inlay are specially designed for product packages. The antenna and inlay performance will be optimized for the packaging materials, such as carton papers or plastics, as well as different form factors of the package itself. In comparison, general-purpose, slap-and-ship, or off-the-shelf RFID tags cannot satisfy the package requirements in most cases. 2. Embedding technologies To explore enabling technologies that will embed RFID tags into product packages, and integrated into the packaging manufacturing process. Embedding RFID tags inside product packages will not only reduce the RFID deployment cost, it will also protect the RFID tags from damages and tampering as well. Nowadays, there are no mature techniques that can be adopted for RFID tag embedment for the packaging industry. 3. Deployment guidelines RFID deployment guidelines in the product packaging industries and supply chain will be developed. As RFID is a brand-new technology for packaging industry, people are still exploring the deployment guidance that can maximize the RFID benefits. In this project, methodologies and guidelines of RFID deployment will be explored for different usage scenarios and requirements. |
