Editor's Notes

  • #16 FInish has distinguished three key functional areas of the apps to be developed for Intelligence and Information Sharing in Food Supply Chain Networks.: Real-time Virtualization: sensing of physical objects on different levels of aggregation (e.g. product, box, pallet, container, truck) and creating rich and globally accessible virtual representations of these geographically dispersed physical objects. Leveraging the FIspace platform and the underlying Generic Enablers (especially the IoT services enablers), apps in this category will add specific services and applications for perishable supply chain networks. Examples could be applications for advanced visioning (including high-speed/low-cost solutions, 3D, and internal features such as ripeness), for quality inspection of food and flowers based on (mobile) augmented reality, etc. Foodweb Connectivity: the timely, error free exchange and secure communication of information in highly dynamic supply chain networks to enable adequate response based on up-to-date and reliable virtual representations. This apps category will add specific apps for the food and flowers industry, such as applications for exchange of sector-specific master data (in particular product information) and mapping services for sector-specific standards (e.g. concerning food safety regulation and sustainability labels). Food Intelligence: usage of the virtualization data for intelligent decision support. This category is the main focus of the project and will provide functionalities for different levels of intelligence, including interaction, monitoring, problem notification, deviation management, planning and optimisation. Examples of food-specific intelligence functionalities are apps for early warning in case of food incidents or unexpected quality deviations (e.g. temperature or humidity changes), advanced forecasting about consequences of detected changes by the time the product reaches destination, e.g. dynamic simulation of best-before dates.
