A blockchain-driven IoT-based food quality traceability system for dairy products using a deep learning model
In this 2023 paper published in the journal High-Confidence Computing, Manisha and Jagadeeshwar present their custom food quality traceability system, which combines various tools like blockchain, internet of things (IoT) mechanisms, and deep learning architecture for improving traceability about perishable food supply chains (PFSCs). Noting previous works that incorporated some but not all of these elements, each with their own downsides, the authors chose a system model that incorporates blockchain-enabled RFID scans that, upon verification, get added to the overall secure ledger, along with associated IoT-base metadata from sensors gauging humidity and temperature. The duo turns to milk manufacturing and distribution in their case study, applied to their blockchain-enabled deep residual network (BC-DRN) methodology. After examining and comparing their results to other prevalent methodologies used in supply chain management (SCM). The authors conclude that their BC-DRN traceability system, when gauged on metrics like sensitivity, response time, and testing accuracy, beat out other methods. They add "the performance of the devised scheme can be improved by considering better feature extraction techniques. "
