Abstract

The paper discusses the application of RFID in cold chain temperature monitoring system, and proposes a program for the cold chain temperature monitoring and tracking cold-chain product flowing in the supply chain, ensure the cold chain products´ quality and comply with the relevant provisions during transport. This program makes full use of RFID tags, temperature sensors, GPS systems and other technical advantages, including the cold chain temperature monitoring system architecture, software design and system flow procedure, etc. The system can real-time location and monitor the location and the temperature of cold-chain products, to achieve quality assurance of cold-chain products in the supply chain process.
