A RFID-based tracking approach for building up smart solutions for consumer's safety

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) proved to have the potential to transform the industrial and consumer's environment. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, as a primary stage of IoT, has been successfully integrated in the continuous deployment tracking-aiming solutions included into pervasive networks. Three software applications dealing with RFID-based applications for real-time localization of people or products are included in the paper. The first of them presents a solution for the wandering institutionalized senior patients suffering of Alzheimer's disease. The other two are dealing with the monitoring of the supply chains for checking and control the authenticity of products and, respectively, for wheat flour. The software applications present different phases of the software development process that are the design of the architecture of the system, the information flow in the supply chain, and the diagram of the data base.
