International:SAFEFOODERA eTrace

• Efficient information capture and exchange by using the EPCIS standard

• Better information visibility in fish supply chain - leads to increased sales

• EPCIS traceability system enables finer granularity than is usually available in the fishing industry

• EPCIS is applicable for food traceability and thus international trade

• Presentation of the redfish pilot at Iceland will be made by Valur N. Gunnlaugsson from Matis at the 13th International Conference on Modern Information Technology in the Innovation Processes of industrial enterprises

• A poster presentation titled "Integrating food safety and traceability information using EPCIS standard" was given by Dr. Maitri Thakur from [SINTEF Fisheries and aquaculture].at the IFT conference in New Orleans, June 11-14, 2011.

• Results from the eTrace project were presented for the other SAFEFOODERA partners at the final SAFEFOODERA meeting in Copenhagen June 7-8. 2011. [Presentation] was given by Eskil Forås from SINTEF Fisheries and aquaculture.

• [eTrace results from Icelandic pilot] were presented at the "International Fishing Fair" in Ancona, Italy the 27-29. of May

• eTrace results were presented at the seminar; "De nye sporbarhedsregler og datagrundlaget" in Aalborg, Denmark the 25. of May. The seminar is organized by The Danish Seafood Association. Presentation was made by Valur N. Gunnlaugsson from Matis

• Presentation of the redfish pilot at Iceland was given by Valur N. Gunnlaugsson from Matis at meetings between Matis and GS1 France at the Brüssels EuroSeafood exhibition 4th of May.

• A presentation titled "Documented sustainable fisheries catches more customers" was given at the ECR Forum in Brussels. 5-6 April 2011.

• A presentation titled "Impacts of using the EPCIS standard in two fish supply chains" was given at the ASSET 2011 - Food Integrity and Traceability Conference in Belfast, March 21-24, 2011. Presentatin was given by Dr. Maitri Thakur from SINTEF Fisheries and aquaculture.

• Results from the Swedish pilot titled "Can traceability supply better information to consumers than labeling?" were presented at the conference Traceability of ecolabelled seafood in Copenhagen, January 20, 2011.

• A scientific article titled "Managing food traceability information using EPCIS framework" was published in the Journal of Food Engineering.

• Other Publications from eTrace

Final report for eTrace will now be made and the project is officially closed.

Pilot test demonstrate integration between data capture equipment and EPCIS The Icelandic pilot test is now finished. The results have been positive both regarding RFID readings and EPCIS as information manager. More results will be presented soon. We will like to thank the people at HB Grandi for their hospitality and help. Thanks also to Hrafn that supplied the pilot with RFID readers and software that was integrated with our EPCIS.
