smaRTI bringt das Internet der Dinge in die Supply Chain des Handels

Abstract

This paper describes a cloud based tracking and tracing system based on the principals of the internet of things. The ’things’ are returnable assets in retail supply chains. They are used to gain a very high transparency over the hole supply chain, including redistribution processes, by making them smart with autoID-technologies. A cloud based IT solution connects the supply chain partners and makes information visible where it is needed. The system is strictly developed with a user friendly scope, that is done by a web-interface described in this paper.
