The Internet of Things The Internet (of information) expands to the real world: an Internet of Things emerges
Internet is an island Today’s Internet is an island in the gulf of physical objects: only connected through human (manual) inputs
Benefits of the Internet of Things • Status (capture & report) • Diagnostics (troubleshoot) • Upgrades (augment performance) • Control/Automation (device cooperation) • Profiling/Behaviour Tracking (performance) • Replenishment/commerce (consumption) • Location Mapping and Logistics (sales)

Overview of RFID benefits RFID is a tool allowing Increased Visibility Best business decisions Analysis application Fully automated data capture
RFID vs Barcodes Attributes EPC / RFID Bar Code Data transmission Electromagnetic / Wireless Optical Reading capability Non-line of sight Line of sight Tag reading Multiple One by one Reading speed 500 / minutes 80 / minutes Moving object reading Yes No Data modification Read & write Write once, read many Data volume 1 bit ~ 16 Mbytes < 100 bytes Access security High Little but possible Anti-collision Possible Not possible Benefits of EPC / RFID over Bar Codes:
ALE and EPCIS provide increased visibility electric eye pallet conveyor R R EnterpriseApp “at time T, the association of the following case tags to the following pallet tag was created at palletizer #3, to fulfill order #1234” Data CenterEnvironment EPCIS EdgeEnvironment PalletizerCapture App “between the time the case crossed the two beams at location L, the tag X was read with temperature T” ALE Filtering & Collection Reader Protocol (LLRP) Reader Reader
