FruitGuard - System for the Management, Protection, and Enhancement of the Fruit Supply Chain

Fruit harvesting and traceability are vital in fruit crop production for maintaining quality and minimizing waste. The proposed system integrates wearable smart devices, electronic labels, QR codes, and cloud-based software to track the entire production process, from harvesting to distribution. Smart devices provide relevant information to harvesters, while electronic labels identify location and fruit type. Reading/writing modules record data like container weights, and RFID tags monitor crate locations. An additional study optimized RFID tag orientation in cold storage. QR codes offer detailed product information to consumers, and the management software ensures data collection, storage, and analysis while prioritizing privacy and security. In summary, the system aims to optimize fruit production management and enhance traceability across the supply chain.
