“…Additionally, wood traceability can provide legal and better quality for wood and its products, which is beneficial for the consumers and corresponding departments of the wood production chain.For the establishment of a useful traceability system, the traceability tools are essential to obtain wood information precisely and rapidly at certain points. The common technologies are genomic, chemical, and morphological tools [6]. However, high technical expertise and technology are required to analyze the results of these methods, which will impede the development of timber quality traceability systems due to scale, site differences, expense, and their destructive and non-repeatable nature.…”

This study aimed to rapidly and accurately identify geographical origin, tree species, and model wood density using visible and near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods. A total of 280 samples with two origins (Jilin and Heilongjiang province, China), and three species, Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.), Japanese elm (Ulmus davidiana Planch. var. japonica Nakai), and Chinese white poplar (Populus tomentosa carriere), were collected for classification and prediction analysis. The spectral data were de-noised using lifting wavelet transform (LWT) and linear and nonlinear models were built from the de-noised spectra using partial least squares (PLS) and particle swarm optimization (PSO)-support vector machine (SVM) methods, respectively. The response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to analyze the best combined parameters of PSO-SVM. The PSO-SVM model was employed for discrimination of origin and species. The identification accuracy for tree species using wavelet coefficients were better than models developed using raw spectra, and the accuracy of geographical origin and species was greater than 98% for the prediction dataset. The prediction accuracy of density using wavelet coefficients was better than that of constructed spectra. The PSO-SVM models optimized by RSM obtained the best results with coefficients of determination of the calibration set of 0.953, 0.974, 0.959, and 0.837 for Dahurian larch, Japanese elm, Chinese white poplar (Jilin), and Chinese white poplar (Heilongjiang), respectively. The results showed the feasibility of Vis-NIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods for determining wood property and geographical origin with simple, rapid, and non-destructive advantages.

“…On the other hand, Quick Response code (QR code) is a two-dimensional barcode that can be read via QR barcode reader or camera and is able to transmit data both in vertical and horizontal track, which is why it is named a 2D barcode. The most significant objective of using QR code is the traceability or monitoring the system [1]. As stated by [4], one of the advantages of the QR Code is that it eliminates the need to type WEB addresses which it is only necessary to launch the application and point the cell phone at a QR Code for the additional content to be displayed in the reader or Web browser.…”

“…In fact, the use of short-range frequency features is to prevent the interference in frequencies which another RFID reader captures information from another RFID reader data of a product or values due to its characteristics of long distance range. On the other hand, most of the manufacturer still using manual operations, such as Barcode, QR code [1] and RFID [2]. In the field of Information Security, access control is one of the method to protect or control the systems and infrastructure for physical security implementation such as accessing the building or premises, monitoring and surveillance systems and physical access infrastructure for instance door and window.…”

This study focus on the implementation of expiry date detection for medicine using RFID in the health care industry. The motivation for doing this research is the process of searching for the expired medicine is a time consuming and lack of security features included in current NFC implementation. Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the RFID technology used for detecting medicine expiry product and to develop a new system that integrated NFC with authentication feature. Moreover, the problem of current data management for medicine still using manual or barcode system that lead to inconsistency, easy duplication and human error. Here, the NFC is chosen, due to smaller distance of signal coverage, since less interference and the time spending for sniffing activity by the hacker can be reduced. The system is developed using C#, SQLite, Visual Studio, NFC Tag and NFC reader (ACR122U-A9). Experiments have shown that the proposed system has produced medicine expiry date system and only authorized person in charge can monitor the medicine. The impact of the proposed system produces safer, greener and easier environment for better medicine data management. The significance of this study gives a medicine expiry date detection system for health care.

“…The capacity to track the complete product supply chain in both industries and agriculture is nowadays possible with the implementation of automated identification systems establishing a link among the product and a database of the product and processes it undergoes [1]. An infotracing system is a process to keep records revealing the trail of an input from suppliers to customers [2].…”

“…Generally, a traceability system relies on the capacity to track product one step forward and one step back at any point in the supply chain, eventually allowing the quick and effective implementation of corrective actions where and when needed. Traceability is important for all businesses, including importers and retailers, to be able to trace products [1,7]. …”

This is the first work to introduce the use of blockchain technology for the electronic traceability of wood from standing tree to final user. Infotracing integrates the information related to the product quality with those related to the traceability [physical and digital documents (Radio Frequency IDentification—RFID—architecture)] within an online information system whose steps (transactions) can be made safe to evidence of alteration through the blockchain. This is a decentralized and distributed ledger that keeps records of digital transactions in such a way that makes them accessible and visible to multiple participants in a network while keeping them secure without the need of a centralized certification organism. This work implements a blockchain architecture within the wood chain electronic traceability. The infotracing system is based on RFID sensors and open source technology. The entire forest wood supply chain was simulated from standing trees to the final product passing through tree cutting and sawmill process. Different kinds of Internet of Things (IoT) open source devices and tags were used, and a specific app aiming the forest operations was engineered to collect and store in a centralized database information (e.g., species, date, position, dendrometric and commercial information).
