Building Transparency through Halal and Quality Traceability System for Beef Distribution in Malang City, Indonesia

Ensuring the availability of halal and quality beef is essential for the Indonesian population. To achieve this, developing a simple and reliable monitoring technology is necessary. Therefore, this study aimed to design a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) traceability system to ensure the distribution of halal and quality beef. Halal beef data was recorded on RFID tag, while the quality beef was monitored in real-time through temperature, humidity, and the distribution vehicle's position. The design used in the study included LM35, DHT11 sensors, Global Positioning System (GPS) modules, and RFID tags. The accuracy, validity, and stability of the sensors were tested in three replications. The results showed that the average readings from the temperature and humidity sensors were accurate, valid, and stable with a deviation of ±3%. The simulation indicated that the product's information, including the sender's identity, destination, recipient, weight, type of cut, delivery time, receipt time, and halal status, could be recognized by different RFID tags and shown on the dashboard. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for monitoring beef distribution vehicle's position was 0.1290, showcasing accurate tracking using GPS module. RFID traceability system effectively and accurately monitored the distribution of integrated halal and quality beef in real-time.
