Scope discussion

  • Traceability, transparency, and visibility in the food supply system
    • Current available traceability systems in terms of breadth, depth, and precision
  • Cold chain management and the increasing complexity of the food supply chain system, IoT
    • IoT devices used to track metrics
    • Keep within ranges
    • Algorithms unique by products
    • Limitation on sensor for unique needs
    • Active vs Passive
      • Active
        • Expensive
        • Cannot go on airplanes
      • Passive
        • Once arrived
      • Challenges:
        • Lacking cost affective maturity
        • Very little integration between existing IoT sensors
        • Air transit (active not possible)
        • Cannot consistently measure spoilage
      • Use cases
        • Cola (F&B)
          • Syrups have to stay within a certain temp range
          • Depending the temp, can change on chemical composition
          • Issue: truckers turn off heat units – not easy to prove
        • Produce
          • Issue: truck in high temp for too long
          • Affects shelf life based on temp
        • Desires
          • Presentations
            • Zest – Christian has the info
              • Using analytics to optimize order fulfillment
            • Maritime IoT tracking
  • Current global industry regulations on food safety and fraud
    • Need more info on this
    • Regulatory bodies
      • Every country can be unique
      • US - FDA
      • Europe – EFSA
      • Others? (Asia, Africa, etc)
      • International?
  • Food product recall practices
    • TBD
  • Drivers for food safety standards
    • TBD
  • Food product authenticity and product certification
    • TBD
  • Integration and interoperability
    • Challenges
      • Within same framework (Fabric to Fabric)
      • Framework to Framework (Fabric to Sawtooth to Ethereum)
      • Even if can connect then what about the data model?
