Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is becoming more and more important for tracing and tracking systems. Furthermore, the application of standards, such as EPCglobal, is contributing substantially to diffusing the important concept of Internet of Things. Although, these elements promise enormous benefits, there remain barriers that are limiting a large-scale deployment of these innovative...
The item-level tagging is one of the main challenges of many application scenarios. Among these, the pharmaceutical supply chain represents a very interesting case where the new auto-identification technologies, based on RFID and EPCglobal, will play a very import role. The authors present practical experiences gained from a recent research project on the item-level traceability in the pharmaceutical...
The item-level tracing requirements are quickly becoming a key issue in many application scenarios, in order to guarantee major transparency in products flow along the whole supply chain. The continuous evolution of auto-identification technologies, as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and the asserting of new open international standards, as EPCglobal, will play a very important role in tracing...
Today, GPS enabled systems are extensively used for geographic navigation in almost all contexts (commercial, personal, etc.). The first limit of these systems is their incapacity to work in covered areas, alley streets and, obviously, inside buildings. Furthermore commercial GPS applications are not enough customizable, only allowing user to add a set of POIs (points of interest) without any capability...
Nowadays, firms need to support e-business through solutions that guarantee, on the one hand, the supply chain management (SCM) and, on the other, products' identification and traceability (ID automation). These two aspects have been faced, up until now, in a separate manner and adhered to the definition of established standards. Thus, we propose an approach that allows the integration of SCM and...
Internet-based collaborative virtual environments allow users to explore and interact with many virtual worlds containing a very large number of objects that are downloaded in real time rather than been pre-distributed. Client's bandwidth fluctuation during the enjoyment of particularly complex environments, can produce a bottleneck that generates very long downloading and rendering time. This bottleneck...
