Temperature maintenance is as critical during food shipment as it is for storage and handling.
Existing temperature tracking systems lack the convenience and precision demanded by today's fast-paced supply chain.
Recently, RFID, which stands for radio frequency identification, has been suggested as an improved method for temperature tracking because of its many benefits, such as its ability to provide data remotely.
In addition, RFID coupled with other communication technologies (such as Global Positioning System and Global System for Mobile Communications) has the ability to provide real-time readings necessary for fast decision making.
