可追溯性是农业食品行业的一个关键因素。广泛应用于供应链管理的射频识别（RFID）技术可以有效地用于追溯管理。本文提出了农产品行业追溯系统的评估框架，并对基于 RFID 的追溯系统的自动化水平进行了分析，并与传统系统进行了比较。内部和外部的可追溯性都被考虑和形式化，以便根据不同的环境的自动化水平对其进行分类。对样本行业使用的追溯系统进行了实验分析，结果表明，通过使用RFID技术，农产品企业以可持续的方式提高了自动化水平和效率。
Traceability is a key factor for the agri-food sector. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, which is widely adopted for supply chain management, can be used effectively for the traceability management. In this paper, a framework for the evaluation of a traceability system for the agri-food industry is presented, and the automation level in an RFID-based traceability system is analyzed and compared with respect to traditional ones. Internal and external traceabilities are both considered and formalized, in order to classify different environments, according to their automation level. Traceability systems used in a sample sector are experimentally analyzed, showing that, by using RFID technology, agri-food enterprises increase their automation level and also their efficiency, in a sustainable way.
