Design of Smart Cold Chain Management System
In this session we present a design of smart cold chain management system which is implemented by using ubiquitous computing technologies, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) & Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). We discuss how cold supply chain works and how we can monitor and control cold supply chain by using wireless tracking and sensing technologies.
Here, we firstly reviewed cold chain monitoring methods and summarised some commercial cold chain solutions. Then we propose a new structure of smart cold chain management system and present prototype design which will provide a highly controlled and transparent cold chain system and could help the users to manage their products’ environmental data in real time during the life-cycle.
Moreover, we highlight how the availability of product trace history data in combination with historical condition monitoring data can facilitate decision-making processes enhancing supply chain’s performance. Finally we discuss the applications of these two technologies in the cold supply chain management system. Hardware and software platform of WSN used in this system are also described in this session.
