Using the Beacon Eechnology on Improvement of Inventory and Logistics Curriculum Training

The purpose of this study is to use beacon technology to develop an active data feedback system. Manufacturers are cooperators who can continue to share realistic data about inventories and logistics with colleges, and colleges can improve the inventory and logistics curriculum training based on these realistic data. The system involved three parts, including the tag of Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology, a smartphone APP as a reader, and a cloud database. When the tag is installed on a shelf of a warehouse or logistics facility, it can continue to actively collect all of the changing data about inventories and logistics and feed it back to the cloud database. The system focuses on active data feedback. Therefore, it is impossible to cause a heavy loading on manufacturers. When students access the cloud database, they can use these real data to learn how establish a fit inventory management approach and logistics decision. Thus, the system could help colleges to train students on practical abilities in inventory and logistics curriculum. Therefore, the system could improve the lack of existing inventory and logistics curriculum training.
