One of the most vulnerable elements of the supply chain, from a security point of view, is the commercial container. Due to its nature of transportation vector for goods, it can easily be exploited as a carrier for illegal and dangerous items. In this paper, while acknowledging the need for a global and comprehensive approach to supply chain security, we focus on the security of commercial containers. We discuss the technologies presently used in the field of commercial container security. In particular, we give an overview of the reasearch carried out by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission in the field of supply chain security. We then discuss in-depth the active RFID-based sealing systems designed at the JRC, giving a detailed technological description and presenting the experimental results of the laboratory tests.

We present an innovative Decision Support System for healthcare applications, based on a semantic enhancement of RFID standard protocol. Semantically annotated descriptions of both drugs and patient’s case history stored in proper RFID tags are used to help doctors in providing the correct therapy. The proposed system allows to discover possible inconsistencies in a therapy suggesting alternative treatments.

A pair of pulleys are rotatably provided between a pair of long frames in the neighborhood of both ends thereof. An endless belt is put over the pulleys, wherein the teeth which mesh with the pulleys are provided on the inner surface of the endless belt. A row of pins which fit into the perforations in a document is provided in the outer feeding surface of the endless belt. A groove extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt is formed in the central portion of the teeth trains of the belt. A rib projecting from the upper surface on which the belt slides and extending in the feeding direction of the document is formed in one of the frames. Since the belt moves in a state in which the rib is fitted into the groove of the belt, the belt runs without deviating from the line which connects between the pulleys.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFId) technology promises to enable substantial benefits in Returnable Transport Items management. Lured by this opportunity, some companies (e.g. Metro Group) are carrying out pilot projects, but the difficulties in quantifying the costs and benefits stemming from such applications still prevent many companies from using this technology. This paper describes an analytical model to assess the profitability of such investments, focusing on the fruit and vegetable supply chain.

There is a growing attention towards technological solutions that can improve cold chain management. This paper analyzes pros and cons of four alternative solutions (Data Loggers, Time Temperature Indicators, semi-passive RFId and Wireless Sensor Networks), paying particular attention to the overall balance of costs and benefits. Thanks to this preliminary study, a solution based on Wireless Sensor Networks has been designed to monitor more efficiently the ice-cream supply chain of a prominent company (Nestlé Italy) and its impacts on overall cold chain performance have been evaluated.

Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is an advanced tracking technology that can be used to study the spatial organization of animal societies. The aim of this work is to build a new RFID-based autonomous system to follow individuals spatio-temporal activity, which is not currently available, and to develop new tools for automatic data mining. We study here how to transform these data to obtain knowledge about the division of labor and intra-colonial cooperation and conflict in an ant colony by developing a new unsupervised learning data mining method (DS2L-SOM : Density-based Simultaneous Two-Level Self Organizing Map) to find homogeneous clusters (i.e., sets of individual witch share a distinctive behavior). This method is very fast and efficient and it also allows a very useful visualization of results.

Between the RFID middleware main components the editing and management tools support the way to configure and deploy the RFID solutions. The most important functions of Man Machine Interface for RFID middleware component are to allow access to the monitoring, the management and the control included in the middleware. Among the key features that are necessary for this component we can mention the flexibility, adaptability, and scalability to the system middleware that implements it. We present a study on the interfaces in some of the existing RFID middleware. We also include the prototype of the user interface made for the RFID middleware architecture called DEPCAS (Data EPC Acquisition System). This interface called GUV (Graphical User Viewer) was developed through language EFL (Exemplar Flexibilization Language)

The implementation of RFID leads to improved visibility in supply chains. However, as a consequence of the increased data collection and enhanced data granularity, supply chain participants have to deal with new data management challenges. In this paper, we give an overview of the current challenges and solution proposals in the area of data collection and transformation, data organization and data security. We also identify further research requirements.

Integrating RFID and document management systems can provide a better awareness regarding the state of the enterprise context and, then, bring new benefits. The activity flow characterizing a business process depends on the moving of a definite sequence of paper documents from a given organization’s office to another one. If the document circulation is monitored and managed by using RFID technology, additional data can be captured from the organization information system enriching the set of data produced by a traditional document management system. By extracting information from this data, an organization can improve its knowledge regarding its activity flows. As a result, less time for performing a business process is spent, capability to planning and make decision increases, evaluation errors decreases and economic advantages are obtained. This paper describes an RFID design, addressing this thesis.

The paper proposes an integrated framework which uses knowledge representation theory and languages to annotate relevant product information in a semantically rich and unambiguous fashion so disclosing several added-value services in multiple supply chain stages, without depending on a back-end infrastructure. EPCglobal RFID protocol standard has been extended and further applied in an innovative supply chain model where production, packaging and logistics have a reduced ecological impact. Particularly, on-product information are leveraged in a more general Intelligent Transport System (ITS) framework enabling advanced delivery scheduling and product tracking.
