Meat-production chain tracking and traceability system based on product lifecycle management

The meat tracking and traceability system based on PLM(product lifecycle management) includes the tracking system from butchering and processing to meat product market, and meat product all lifecycle traceability system. A set of the business process key point(KP) of the meat product is identified. Based on data driven at the KP and deployment, the meat product tracking system was implemented. The meat product data traceability system was realized by the means of the two-dimension embedded ond-dimension bar code mixed technology in the enterprise. The virtual database based on ontology and XML was constructed to realize the meat product data seamless connection and mutually operation for the physical distribution enterprise meat product database, and meat product traceability in the total meat product lifecycle. Furthermore, the meat production tracking and traceability management system was developed based on opening-source integration development environment, which will be evolved to meet the customer and market requirement.
