Consumer perceptions of traceability: A cross-national comparison of the associated benefits

Consumer perceptions regarding traceability were investigated by means-end-chain laddering. Consumers in four European countries were questioned about the benefits they associate with traceability related attributes. The benefits consumers associate with traceability are in terms of health, quality, safety and control, of which the latter was associated with trust and confidence. These benefits were similarly important in the countries investigated. Cross-national differences were also observed. Importantly, both quality and safety were shown to be related to traceability in the consumers′ minds with quality implying safety. The results show that traceability may contribute to improving consumer confidence. The most important aspects of traceability which should be incorporated into communication with consumers are discussed.     

Intelligent and integrated RFID (Ⅱ-RFID) system for improving traceability in manufacturing

In the wake of globalization,many modern manufacturing companies in Norway have come under intense pressure caused by increased competition,stricter government regulation,and customer demand for higher value at low cost in a short time.Manufacturing companies need traceability,which means a real-time view into thenproduction processes and operations.Radio frequency identification(RFID) technology enables manufacturing companies to gain instant traceability and visibility because it handles manufactured goods,materials and processes transparently.RFID has become an important driver in manufacturing and supply chain activities.However,there is still a challenge in effectively deploying RFID in manufacturing.This paper describes the importance for Norwegian manufacturing companies to implement RFID technology,and shows how the intelligent and integrated RFID(n-RFID) system,which has been developed in the Knowledge Discovery Laboratory of Norwegian University of Science and Technology,provides instant traceability and visibility into manufacturing processes.It supports the Norwegian manufacturing industries survive and thrive in global competition.The future research work will focus on the field of RFID data mining to support decision-making process in manufacturing.     

Robotization in fruit grading system

A grading robot system, which automatically provides fruits from containers and inspects all sides of the fruits was developed. The robot system consists of two fruit providing robots and a grading robot. Both robots had 3 DOF Cartesian coordinate manipulators, and 12 suction pads as end-effectors for transporting fruits. The grading robot had 12 color TV cameras, and 28 lighting devices as a machine vision system. The grading robot sucked 12 fruits up at a time and 12 bottom images of all the fruits were acquired during the manipulator moving from a halfway stage to carriers on a conveyor line. Before releasing the fruits to the carriers, 4 side images of each fruit were acquired by rotating the suction pads for 270°. The stroke of the manipulators was about 1.2 m and it took about 4.3 s to move back to the initial position that meant that this robot could grade three fruits per second. This grading robot system made following effects: (1) Labor substitution, (2) Objective grading operation without human subjective judgment, (3) Data accumulation on fruit grading for traceability and farming guidance to producer.     

DNA Arrays and Membrane Hybridization Methods for Screening of Six Lactobacillus Species Common in Food Products

Dot blot and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) array hybridization assays for the traceability of Lactobacillus species in food have been developed to monitor and validate typical food products. A primer set was designed to amplify the 540-bp region located at +157 of the tuf (Elongation factor Tu) gene of the Lactobacillus genus. An oligonucleotide array, containing 73 Lactobacillus species-specific tuf sequences representing 21 species, was developed and tested for identifying L. paracasei, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, and L. buchneri. We also tested a rapid screening method for monitoring the species present in airy samples. Dot blot hybridization identified polymerase chain reaction amplicons immobilized on nylon membranes, using six tuf-based cyanine-3-labeled 18-mer oligonucleotides, specific for L. paracasei, L. zeae, L. fermentum, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, and L. buchneri. This method discriminates between multiple species of Lactobacilli isolated directly from cheese samples, simultaneously. The tuf gene sequences, verified here with the DNA array method and used in dot blot hybridization, were shown to be a reliable tool for the simultaneous detection and differentiation of four Lactobacillus species. The hybridization techniques developed in this study may be useful in food processing and the analysis of food origin traceability.

Tracking the consequences of design decisions in mechatronic Systems Engineering

The design of mechatronic systems involves several technical and scientific disciplines. It is often difficult to anticipate, at the outset, the consequences of design decisions on the ultimate effectiveness of such complex systems, in which case the evaluation process is required to support the designers each time engineering choices must be made or justified. Since designers may belong to different technical and scientific cultures however, their understanding of both the design stakes and the evaluation process is too often biased. Moreover, design choices take place in an uncertain context and according to multiple criteria, some of which may be contradictory. In order to track the consequences of design decisions, we are proposing a conceptual data model to perform evaluations within the MBSE framework of Systems Engineering. We then proceed by relying on the relationships demonstrated by such a model to identify the potential impacts of design choices on future product performance. Since data available during the conceptual phase of the design are typically uncertain or imprecise, an original research protocol is extended to a qualitative impact analysis for the purpose of highlighting the most promising alternative system design solutions (ASDS). An example in the mechatronics field serves to illustrate our proposals.
