Abstract
Quality change models can be integrated with traceability systems to lift these administrative tools to the level of decision support systems accounting for the quality of the product going through the chain.
This contribution focuses on implementation and validation of a quality change model to be used for such smart traceability system for tomato.
Tomatoes were stored at an artificial temperature scenario to validate the quality change model.
The Belgian supply chain for tomato was monitored from grower to retail using radio frequency (RFID) labels with integrated temperature sensors.
Finally fruit were stored under simulated supply chain conditions to further validate the quality change model.
Experimental results are presented outlining the potential benefits of integrating quality change models with traceability systems to satisfy consumer expectations.
