“…However, it cannot manage the single plant or food, and barcodes cannot properly work as sensors and have shown a limit for data transmission within Internet of Things application. Thus, other electronic identification tools such as RFID were applied for agri-food supply chain traceability (Costa et al 2013). A limited number of studies have been conducted on consumers' perception of traceability, commonly of one particular product such as meat (Hobbs et al 2005;Giraud and Amblard 2003) and not beliefs about traceability in general (van Rijswijk and Frewer 2006).…”

Automation in agriculture should improve plant health, product quality, and production efficiency. However the actual use of electronic identification tools in agriculture is limited. Therefore, I review here electronic identification applications to support plant health and production and agricultural sustainability. The major points are as follows: (1) there is a tenfold increase of literature on the application of radio frequency identification in agriculture from 2000-2004 to 2005-2009. (2) Development of quick response code and radio frequency identification solutions are improving automated systems. (3) There is a major advancement in associating thermal sensors to electronic tags to preserve food quality and to manage temperature-controlled supply chain. Whereas tests with biosensors used for biological or chemical alerts are limited. (4) Agrochemical tagging, using radio frequency identification tags, improve plant health management and environmental monitoring. (5) While phytosanitary certifications are mandatory in high-cost cultivation systems and a need for risk management may promote radiofrequency identification (RFID) systems, the lack of specific economic analyses may discourage farmers and investors.

“…Telemetry for species is not progressing at the same rate as technology because of the limited market when compared with telemetry for industrial applications (Aguzzi, Company et al, 2011). For that reason, these devices are expensive, do not satisfy some requirements or are not suitable for marine environments (Costa et al, 2012).…”

Patterns of how the Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus L.) emerges from its burrow in relation to sea currents at different times of the day-night cycles is currently unknown. The degree of influence of these variables when simulated in controlled laboratory conditions entails great technical and technological difficulties. This paper presents the development of an integrated control system that manages a set of aquariums generating water currents and patterns of light.The solution proposed combines the use of commercial equipment and a custom electronic design in order to achieve the required specifications with costminimization. The control system has circulation pumps and visible and infrared LED lighting to recreate different currents and light conditions. Preliminary results show the control system works properly and all components responded as expected during the experiments.Keywords: Wireless control, hydrodynamic aquarium regulation, lighting control, variable frequency drive, microcontroller Highlights: The electronic system implemented allows the study of marine species chronobiology. The system consists of a custom electronic board, circulation pumps and LED lighting. The configurable water flow and light conditions recreate different sea bed scenarios. Wireless interfaces reduce cost and installation complexity in aquariums. The infrared lighting enables the study of species in the dark with cameras.

“…Transportation and logistics have a significant role in the process, so that there is the need for supervision, control and modeling to evaluate/simulate and estimate the quality state with which the loads reach their destination. Transportation is an important part of the overall quality system and must provide a complete logistics service, based on scientific and technological aspects and on information management (Costa et al 2013).…”

“…Low-cost, wireless and autonomous sensors, from the point of view of power supply and recording capabilities, are the most suitable for the supervision and control of cold chambers such as a reefer container (Costa et al 2013). These allow us to install intensive and real-time data acquisition networks that make the reconstruction of the time and spatial distribution of variables such as temperature or fluid velocity fields feasible from point measurements ).…”

The study of temperature gradients in cold stores and containers is a critical issue in the food industry for the quality assurance of products during transport, as well as for minimizing losses. The objective of this work is to develop a new methodology of data analysis based on phase space graphs of temperature and enthalpy, collected by means of multidistributed, low cost and autonomous wireless sensors and loggers. A transoceanic refrigerated transport of lemons in a reefer container ship from Montevideo (Uruguay) to Cartagena (Spain) was monitored with a network of 39 semi-passive TurboTag RFID loggers and 13 i-button loggers. Transport included intermodal transit from transoceanic to short shipping vessels and a truck trip. Data analysis is carried out using qualitative phase diagrams computed on the basis of Takens which characterizes the cyclic behaviour of temperature. Areas within the enthalpy phase diagram computed for the short sea shipping transport were 5 times higher than those computed for the long sea shipping, with coefficients of variation above 100 % for both periods. This new methodology for data analysis highlights the significant heterogeneity of thermohygrometric conditions at different locations in the container.
