Abstract

In this application for a patent, Traceability of Agricultural and Agri Food Products will be done using RFID and GPS technology. Current methods of traceability in Agricultural and Agri Foods are rudimentary and involve far too much manual intervention that can not only lead to human errors in information coding but also due to the burden of human involvement in the process, the current systems do not make it conducive for wide application and use. In using RFID and GPS
technologies, the traceability will be automated by bar coding or chip technology into each product that is harvested. All the data will be collected and stored in a database to follow each product from its origin farm, processing, transportation and delivery to the end consumer.

Using RFDI and GPS technology, we will capture the exact origin of each vegetable, fruit, poultry, beef, lamb, goat, etc. and their processed products through their transporter all the way to the end supermarket and consumer. This functionality is crucial in avoiding mass recalls of contaminated products, products which may have bacteria or even mad cow disease. By tracing each product individually, it will be easy for customers not only to know where their food is coming from, but the regulatory authorities will be able to identify within a matter of seconds where the product originated from. Even in processed goods, our Traceability System will allow the processors to identify the source and origin of each key ingredient they use in their production. In case of contamination, within a few seconds, the processor will know where the input products came from me. In case of a disease breakout of food poisoning, the authorities will know right away where that particular food item originated from and instead of banning a large amount of product off the market; they will be able to identify the batch and processing location where the product came from.

We will capture and store this data in an online accessible database to assist the Department of Agricultural and Agri Foods. Certainly, this will avoid a country wide ban on all products from a country just because one bad batch of a food product was discovered to have made some people sick. We will also make available this information via the Internet to end consumers who are interested to know the origin and handling of the food they consume.

Invention by Luc Gallant and Martha Nangalama.

Description Our company Shediac Fresh Seafood Inc. is applying for a patent to protect our invention of the combined technology of using RFID and GPS technology to trace Agriculture foods and Agri Foods from the harvesting area (harvester) to the consumer. We will be using our Information Technology Software to feed information from Global Positioning Systems, via RFID technology, to trace Agricultural and Agrifood from the source (growing area or farming field), through the processing plant, transportation route all the way to the end customer. This traceability is crucial in identifying a potential localized area where a disease might break out and consequently will help the Agricultural and Agri Food Industry not to face a blanket ban on any product that might be found to have caused an illness breakout. The Products which will be traced include all vegetables (broccoli, spinach, carrots, celery, cauliflower, etc.), all staples (rice, wheat, potatoes, etc.) as well as all meats (Chicken, Ostrich, beef, Bison, venison, Pork, lamb, goat, etc.).

Claims (12)

1. Implanting a computer chip into the rubber bands which are used on all vegetables which are banded for resale in grocery stores for RFID reading with GPS technology to identify the origin, processing, handling and transportation of the product from the origin to the end location or consumer.
2. Putting bar codes on the rubber bands which are used to band all products such as celery, carrots, spinach, collards, Swiss chard, rapini, bok choy, etc.
with a chip or UPC code and using RFID and GPS technology to identify the origin, processing, handling and transportation of the product from its origin to the end location or consumer.
3. Putting tags on Agricultural and Agri Foods with bar code information or a computer chip for tracing with RFID and GPS technology with the intent of identifying the product origin, processing, handling and transportation from the product origin to the end location or end buyer.
4. Implanting a computer chip or a tag with a code in the bags which are used for bagged fruits such as oranges, apples, etc. as well as bagged vegetables such as onions, potatoes, garlic, etc. for the intent of using RFID and GPS
technology for the purpose of identifying the product origin, processing, handling and transportation from the product origin to the end location or end consumer.
5. Using RFID and GPS technology to trace the exact farm origin of each animal before it goes to the abattoir or butcher.
6. Using RFID and GPS technology to log information of the animal source once it gets to the abattoir or butcher before processing for meat cuts or other meat products such as ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey, lamb chops, etc. for the purpose of retaining the origin of the animal, handling or processing, logistics to the end location of the meat products.
7. Using RFID and GPS technology to trace other farm products such as milk, cheese, sour cream, yoghurt, eggs, etc. for the purpose of tracing the product origin, processing, handling and transportation to the end location or end consumer.
8. Using UPC codes, coded tags or chip technology with the intent of using RFID
and GPS technology to trace the original animal source for each cut of meat so that it will be traced to the original source of the animal and logging this information into a database that is accessible online for purposes of traceability.
9. Using RFID and GPS technology to trace the handling and logistics of the Meat and Poultry products and logging all the information into an online database which will be accessible to government authorities, supermarkets and the end buyer.
10. Using software that incorporates RFID and GPS technology for the purpose of total traceability of Agriculture and Agro-Food products based on any or all the information gathered in 1-9 above to present to the public and government authorities via the Internet or in any electronic format such as proprietary software or printed reports from such software applications that manipulate data and providing reports to the public or government authorities or wholesale buyers of such products.
11. Using software that incorporates RFID and GPS technology to provide total traceability of Agriculture or Agri-Foods in any form (from the source to the end consumer or there in between).
12. Using Information Technology (IT) in any form to create any software systems that rely on such information as will be gathered in this patent application that relies on the use of RFID and GPS technology for such information gathering.
