Abstract
The dramatic growth of the world economy has been accelerated the supply chain industry which demands logistics service to be agile, flexible and responsive. Internet technology is quite successful in transferring information between customer and logistics provider. However, the existing gap between goods flow and information flow in logistic service has created a problem in getting real-time information about temperature-sensitive items, which makes logistics management more challenging for decision-makers. Internet of Things technology seems a promising solution for monitoring, managing, and decision making in cold chain industries. This study proposes an Internet of Things based cold chain logistics that help to enhance the decision support of all actors through managing, monitoring the real-time ambient temperature of the cold chain and predicting the shelf life of temperature-sensitive products. In this preliminary study, real-time data of ambient parameters are gathered using IEEE 802.15.4 based wireless sensor networks and transferred to the remote server through a gateway so that the shelf life of the products can be predicted by the decision support system. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is also modeled for further considerations related to the identification issue of perishable products inside the cold chain.
