Abstract:
The importance of product quality and food safety for consumers would be reached by apply traceability product. Indonesia's geographical archipelago has long supply chain of fisheries which cause all supply chain data getting difficult to trace from upstream to end of consumer. The problem of this research is how to apply traceability of seafood products from their origin through to end customer by using traceability system. The method used is apply batch code identifier to represent vessel information, catch data, and landing site. System applies automatic detection of landing site coordinates using global positioning system, and along with batch code stored to cloud server. The batch code moved along with the fish movement in each supply chain. Once fish received by processors, system get access cloud server to get proper batch code. Finally, each product is labeled with QR Code containing product information and batch code. While products sent to customers, label scanned and system provide fish origin information and show the maps of the vessel landing location. The testing results shows label can be scanned at maximum distance of 40 cm in dry surface and flat and curved position, and at a maximum distance of 25 cm in flat position, wet and frozen conditions. Label can be scanned at maximum distance 20 cm in a curved position and wet and frozen conditions.
