Three-layered traceability system supporting both blanching and assembly process

Under variety production circumstances, it becomes more important to manage production and distribution history information of each individual product. Information system tracing the history is generally referred to Traceability System. Traceability system has gradually obtained much attention, especially on food industries. Since the purpose of the existing traceability system is focused mainly on the consumer service, the system itself is generally independent of main management system and, therefore, the obtained traceability information may not be a contributing factor to the solution of production and distribution management problems. In this paper, we propose a three-layered traceability system, which consists of Application Service Provider, ASP, layer, Enterprise Resource Planning, ERP, layer and Physical logistics layer. A prototype system is implemented under scenario of Processed Seafood Industry.
