“…Numbers of early-bird applications of IoT in logistics, tracking and healthcare have already been deployed [2]. In particular, there have been several papers that introduced the RFID-enabled wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in fresh food tracking for intelligent logistics, aiming to improve the process of the fresh food supply chain and create added value of business [3][4][5][6][7]. For example, RFID-enabled temperature loggers are used to monitor and record the transportation and distribution temperature for perishable food products.…”

Future technologies and applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) will evolve the process of the food supply chain and create added value of business. Radio frequency identifications (RFIDs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been considered as the key technological enablers. Intelligent tags, powered by autonomous energy, are attached on objects, networked by short-range wireless links, allowing the physical parameters such as temperatures and humidities as well as the location information to seamlessly integrate with the enterprise information system over the Internet. In this paper, challenges, considerations and design examples are reviewed from system, implementation and application perspectives, particularly with focus on intelligent packaging and logistics for the fresh food tracking and monitoring service. An IoT platform with a two-layer network architecture is introduced consisting of an asymmetric tag–reader link (RFID layer) and an ad-hoc link between readers (WSN layer), which are further connected to the Internet via cellular or Wi-Fi. Then, we provide insights into the enabling technology of RFID with sensing capabilities. Passive, semi-passive and active RFID solutions are discussed. In particular, we describe ultra-wideband radio RFID which has been considered as one of the most promising techniques for ultra-low-power and low-cost wireless sensing. Finally, an example is provided in the form of an application in fresh food tracking services and corresponding field testing results.

In this research, scalable framework for Smart Logistics based Cyber-Physical System (SLCPS) is emulated for stable coverage and connectivity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This work is modern manifestation of three laws of computing. Moore's and Koomey's laws recommend performance gain and energy efficiency whereas Metcalfe's law imply network scalability. Combination of these laws suggests the research proposition that development of scalable and performance efficient IoT networks is inevitable. Although IoT has improved specific logistics modules considerably, but incorporation of IoT in complete supply chain of food and random placement of IoT devices due to which unstable coverage and connectivity occurred are major challenges in logistics. The proposed SLCPS framework is designed firstly, to develop apt IoT protocol stack for logistics. Secondly, for bonded connectivity and coverage, mathematical models are proposed instead of random placement and coverage map is based on binary coverage model. Thirdly, for scalability supply chain of food for smart logistics process is designed in terms of container, storehouse and warehouse comprising of varying number of IoT devices. The architecture of SLCPS framework has three modules i.e. internal IoT network, border router and external network, emulated in Cooja simulator. The contikimac protocol is used for efficient traffic flow and power consumption. Single hop, multiple hops and random IoT devices placement scenarios are used for results comparison and validation. The performance evaluation results, i.e. throughput, network convergence time, packet delivery ratio, average latency, power consumption and timeline investigation validated utilization of proposed framework in terms of enhanced network performance. Significance of proposed SLCPS framework results in cost minimization, reducing communication and computation overhead, resilience to IoT device failures and an interference free network connectivity and coverage. Coverage and connectivity are measure of quality of service in IoT network. Therefore, this research provided bonded coverage and connectivity in smart logistics using mathematical models. In addition, a baseline framework is provided for extended research in CPS and IoT applications.

Redução de perdas nas cadeias de frutas e hortaliças pela análise da vida útil dinâmica Reducing losses in the fruit and vegetable chains by the analysis of shelf life dynamics ResumoA estimativa do crescimento populacional mundial de nove bilhões de pessoas, em 2050, estabelece um grande desafio para os próximos anos, considerando os problemas atuais de insegurança alimentar e o fornecimento de alimentos saudáveis, num mundo, predominantemente, de pessoas vivendo em regiões urbanas. A importância da dieta na saúde é indiscutível, sendo que, a cada dia que passa, o consumidor está mais consciente de que a saúde está diretamente relacionada a uma dieta balanceada e segura. As tecnologias aplicadas na pós-colheita de frutas e hortaliças que continuam com seu metabolismo ativo buscam manter a qualidade através dos parâmetros aparência, textura, sabor, valor nutritivo e segurança alimentar, bem como reduzir perdas qualitativas e quantitativas entre a colheita e o consumo. A combinação de tecnologias, como resfriamento rápido, refrigeração e utilização de embalagens com atmosferas modificadas ativas e passivas, aplicadas na pós-colheita, precisa estar aliada a uma adequada gestão de temperatura para cada produto, em toda a cadeia de distribuição. Assim, conforme o histórico de temperatura desde a colheita até os locais de vendas no varejo, a estimativa da vida útil torna-se uma variável altamente dinâmica. Tecnologias de RFID (Radio Frequency Identification -Identificação por Rádio Frequência) integradas a sensores podem revolucionar o transporte e o manuseio de produtos perecíveis, por meio de leituras precisas e contínuas das condições do ambiente de conservação durante a logística, interpretadas por modelos matemáticos que estimam a vida útil restante. Esta revisão descreve como a tecnologia, por meio de chips RFID integrados a sensores e associados ao uso de modelamentos matemáticos, pode ser incorporada na gestão de Centros de Distribuição, alterando a ênfase, a partir do clássico FIFO (First In, First Out -Primeiro a Entrar, Primeiro a Sair), para uma estratégia de FEFO (First Expired, First Out -Primeiro Expirado, Primeiro a Sair). Desta maneira, com o melhor conhecimento da vida útil dos produtos, espera-se menor perda, além de melhor conservação dos produtos. Palavras-chave: RFID; Vida útil; FLV; Perdas pós-colheita; Sensores; Rastreabilidade. AbstractThe estimated world population growth of 9 billion people by 2050 provides a major challenge for the next few years, considering the current problems regarding the lack of food safety and provision of healthy food in a world in which most people live in urban areas. The importance of diet in health is unquestionable, and as time goes by, so the consumer is becoming more aware that health is directly related to a balanced and safe d...
