生鲜产品供应链仍有改进和提高效率的空间，甚至通过自动化简单但有价值的数据流成为智能供应链，这将是开发新增值服务的基础和第一阶段。西班牙公司ECOMOVISTAND为食品杂货供应链开发了一种创新的生态包装和运输单元，称为MT，可用于整个产品周期;即MT在同一机械系统中用作（1）生产商的包装，（2）运输单元，（3）仓库的储存，以及（4）超市的展示架。因此是可回收的包装和运输单元。MT需要信息技术的支持才能发挥其真正的潜力。在本文中，我们展示了与ECOMOVISTAND合作开发的工作，以便通过嵌入有源RFID标签将MT变成智能产品平台。数据流被集成到一个名为MEGASAND的信息系统中。这允许在整个供应链上跟踪MT并向客户提供增值服务。(C)2008 Elsevier B.

The fresh products supply chain still has room to improve and increase efficiency and even become an intelligent supply chain by means of automating simple but valuable data flows which will be the foundations and first stage for developing new value-added services. The Spanish company ECOMOVISTAND has developed an innovative and ecological packaging and transport unit, called MT, for the grocery supply chain, which can be used in the entire product cycle; that is, the MT serves (1) as packaging at the producer, (2) as transport unit, (3) as storage at warehouses, and (4) as display stand at the supermarket, all in the same mechanical system. being thus a Returnable Packaging and Transport Unit. An MT needs the support of information technologies to achieve its true potential. In this paper we show the work developed in collaboration with ECOMOVISTAND in order to turn the MT into an intelligent product platform by embedding Active RFID tags. Data flows are integrated into an information system, called MEGASTAND. which allows to track MTs over the entire supply chain and provide value-added services to the customers.
