Abstract

The average rate of fruit and other fresh food products that perishes during transport varies between 10 and 25%. This volume of losses justifies the need for quality control means. Under the Software as a Service (SaaS) paradigm, the Real-Time Logistic Monitoring (RTLM) system aims to respond to this problem through real-time monitoring of the conditions in which the fruit is transported. The RTLM project integrates a responsive web application, a monitoring services system, an Extract, Transform & Load (ETL) engine, a set of integrated services through sensor plugins developed with Arduino technology, and a Grafana dashboard instance.

Highlights

IntroductionISO 22000 affects all organizations directly or indirectly involved in the food chain, including those responsible for logistics operations, such as the transportation, storage and distribution of food products
The research resulted in an integrated prototype of the Real-Time Logistic Monitoring (RTLM) Framework, assuring the measurement of the desired and critical indicators, it’s persistency and real-time communication to the server and instantaneous visualization on a dashboard solution
In this work a special reference was found on the definition of cloud computing as a type of high performance distributed system, as Software as a Service (SaaS) as one of its service layers (Steen and Tanenbaum, 2017)

Summary

Introduction

ISO 22000 affects all organizations directly or indirectly involved in the food chain, including those responsible for logistics operations, such as the transportation, storage and distribution of food products. Regarding transport, this standard regulates especially on the refrigeration of containers, stipulating that a variation of more than 2o Celsius over the standard values is considered a non-conformity. These twelve dimensions address product specific requirements, as it’s usability, dependability, security and efficiency (space occupation and performance achieved), requirements from the user or developer organization (environmental, operational and development), and externally originated requirements as regulator, ethical and legislative requirements (accounting or safety/security). In this work a special reference was found on the definition of cloud computing as a type of high performance distributed system, as Software as a Service (SaaS) as one of its service layers (Steen and Tanenbaum, 2017)
