USN applied to Smart Cold Chain based on the mesh wireless sensor network

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

USN, or wireless sensor network, is applied for the real time monitoring for the Supply Chain Industry, starting from the Cold Chain Monitoring (CCM) needs, such as shipments of Fruits & Vegetables, Meat and Medicines. There are a number of different terms related or used in conjunction with the WSN. These are ISM, RFID, GPS, CCM, DASH7 Alliance, ISO18000-7, ZigBee Alliance, IEEE 802.15.4, ZWave WPAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and many, many more. The subject of the WSN is quite a clear, intuitive and simple concept. It goes to the tracing and monitoring of what is needed and possible ?devices, things, living, plants, environment, etc. CartaSense developed the system that enables the customer to take decisions based on:
? Affordable sensors to track and collect ongoing transportation data such as temperature, Humidity and pressure conditions
? Reliable communication with a gateway even in humid and harsh conditions (where regular RF would hardly work)
? Proprietary software to analyze the data and prediction of expected expiration or ripe dates. Major issues and problems in this application which can be accessed by the management science and industrial engineering are analyzed and discussed.
