The Performance of Intelligent Packaging in the Planning of Poultry Supply Chain
研究了智能包装在家禽供应链中监测产品质量、延长保质期并降低成本的作用,通过LINGO优化模型扩展了现有配送系统,对食品物流和包装工程领域有参考价值。
This paper describes the principal concept of intelligent packaging linked to the efficiency of natural property of a pack, product, or pack/product configuration in a poultry supply chain. For packaging in the future, intelligent functions of packaging should be integrated in order to inform about the product status. This communication is used in order to provide information on product quality during transport and distribution. Therefore, intelligent packaging can be defined as a system that informs about the product conditions and responds rapidly to changes in internal or external conditions of packaged food. Besides, this designation can be used in a broader sense to include properties related to product identity, authenticity and traceability, as well as safety and quality issues. Multi-sensor technology is suitable for monitoring and protecting food quality in order to detect pathogens, leakages, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and determine pH, time or temperature etc. On the other hand, this technology is to be used as an online quality control tool for the safety and protection of consumers, authorities and food producers. In our work, we will complete the model of ‘F. Boudehri’ by the packaging operation. The object of his study was to renovate the retail distribution system in the city of Tlemcen (Algeria). For this specific case, two types of packaging chicken meat can be used to expand distribution of these products to remote areas such as the southern part of the country. The purpose of the present work is to extend the shelf life of the product with a minimum cost. LINGO optimization solver (Version12) was used to get the solution to the problem.
