An autonomous distributed information system for logistics control with data carriers

Abstract

In logistics fields, in order to satisfy various customers requirement, flexible transportation and inventory control method are desired. By attaching data carrier of wireless communication to items in logistics, the autonomous distributed information system for logistics control are proposed. This system can manage the flow of the items efficiently and dynamically. Additionally structure of logistics companies in the logistics is flexible and distributed company make their decisions autonomously. In this paper, concept of the system is proposed, and outline of target logistics model is defined. Configuration and necessary feature are extracted, and issues and future works are mentioned.
