Implementation of Logistic Management System Using IOT and Open Source Hardware

Managing of Logistics is a significant aspect in Real time applications. Some of the aspects like delay in delivery of goods, real time identification of cargo vehicle, overload of goods in vehicle, misplacement of goods are some of the issues that are facing by the logistics management. The Global positioning system is used to track the location of the cargo based on its latitude and longitude positions. The GSM/GPRS module facilitates the location to the administrator. The RFID system facilitates the tracking and correct placement of goods in the cargo. The Open source hardware facilitates the processing and orderly management of goods details in the webserver. If more goods are placed in the cargo, then the cargo may not move or reach at expected time due to overload of the goods in the cargo. So by the employment of weight sensor the overload of goods in the cargo is eliminated. This system also serves the security purpose as periodically updating of location on the web server the real time data of cargo are updated with the aid of Open source hardware. Integration of IoT, RFID, GPS, GSM/GPRS and open source hardware yields in good results and can perform its activities in real time. This system yields in dynamic updating of data from the cargo and delays in the delivery of goods are also eliminated, positioning of cargo vehicle is provided, overload of goods is also eliminated.
