“…This software can graphically represent the stored information (Figure 1) or can export it to a text file to be processed in a spreadsheet. After exporting the information, the device can be reset to be reused on successive routes (De las Morenas et al 2014).…”

“…The proposed system (De las Morenas et al 2014;Garcia et al 2015) is divided into four basic components: (1) sample tubes provided by RFID tags; (2) the electronic tube that records all the information, which the authors call a 'smart sensor'; (3) the cooler that hosts the GPS and RFID units, and is capable of writing information inside the electronic tube through a radio link and (4) the USB dongle for downloading the information stored in the electronic tube to a computer in the lab trough the radio link.…”

“…to offer only a simple reading at the same time, less data capacity and non-sustainability against moisture and dirt . Radiofrequency systems (radiofrequency identification (RFID)) are being imposed in the agro-food sector (Voulodimos et al 2010;Wang et al 2010; as they offer versatility, robustness and easy use (Wang et al 2010;De las Morenas et al 2014). Good examples of using this technology are the development of systems that track livestock management (Voulodimos et al 2010), those that monitor the raw milk transportation system (Sun et al 2016).…”

“…Thus, it would be very interesting for the dairy sector to have a system available that traces the collection and transport conditions of the milk samples destined to milk quality control, preserves their quality and also ensures their inviolability and traceability (Wang et al 2010;De las Morenas et al 2014;Sun et al 2016).…”

“…It would also be very interesting to be able to automate the identification and monitoring of milk samples from farms to the dairy laboratory, and such a prototype traceability system for the dairy industry (TRAZALE) has been designed (De las Morenas et al 2014), which offers high-quality tracking of collected milk samples by controlling certain critical parameters, such as temperature, transport time and the path route.…”

The Integral Traceability System for tracking and tracing the milk samples used in quality control was checked for one year while monitoring 526 milk samples from sheep's, goats' and cows'. This system includes a customized automated cooler for carrying samples with a smart sensor inside to store the data collected during the process, and a dongle to transfer the collected data to a computer to be further analysed. The technologies combined to record and trace milk samples on trips from farms to the laboratory (e.g. microcontrollers, sensors, radio frequency identification and global positioning system) were linked. This system allowed us to objectively know the duration of the sampling route and the temperature and time conditions of samples travelled in until they were analysed in an official dairy laboratory. These conditions ensured that the baseline milk quality was preserved, and was therefore adequate according to both European regulations and the price set to be paid for quality. Hardware and software prototypes worked successfully under the real study conditions, and this system may be proposed to become a reference method in the dairy sector.ARTICLE HISTORY
