Research on Multi-Dimensional Logistics Based on the Internet of Things

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we prompt a new multi-dimensional logistics method based on the Internet of Things (IOT). IOT is a good enabling technology for logistics and supply chains which implements seamless, real-time tracking and monitoring goods at the level of items. In this paper, we propose a solution, which adopts RFID/GPS/3G/GIS technologies to implement real-time surveillance of logistics in transit. Based on the proposed solution, we chose the tobacco logistics as an example and developed an actual monitoring system for Logistics & Distribution Center of China, which successfully implements real-time vehicle tracking and cigarette packages monitoring. The outcome indicates that this solution minimizes missing goods and effectively reduces wrong delivery.
