Reducing food losses by intelligent food logistics

de Reducing food losses by intelligent food logistics

The need to feed an ever-increasing world population makes it obligatory to reduce the millions of tons of avoidable perishable waste along the food supply chain. A considerable share of these losses is caused by non-optimal cold chain processes and management. This Theme Issue focuses on technologies, models and applications to monitor changes in the product shelf life, defined as the time rem...

Increasing Food Availability by Reducing Postharvest Losses of Fresh Produce

Qualitative losses (such as loss of caloric and nutritive value, loss of acceptability by consumers, and loss of edibility) are more difficult to measure than quantitative losses of fresh fruits and vegetables. While reduction of quantitative losses is a higher priority than qualitative losses in developing countries, the opposite is true in developed countries where consumer dissatisfaction wi...

Radio frequency identification enabled wireless sensing for intelligent food logistics.

Future technologies and applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) will evolve the process of the food supply chain and create added value of business. Radio frequency identifications (RFIDs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been considered as the key technological enablers. Intelligent tags, powered by autonomous energy, are attached on objects, networked by short-range wireless lin...

Resource Optimization by Simulation Technique in Food Logistics

Any activity that receives inputs and convert them to outputs can be considered as a process. Essentially the same model equations are used in the theory of chemical, biochemical, nuclear, mechanical, or other process engineering. The goal of our researcher group has been to identify the processes, a network of processes, process variables and process equations in food logistics. In our paper w...
