Supply Chain Management Automation using Wireless Sensor Networks

Supply chain management is an application area where wireless sensor networks can play an important role in improving process efficiency. This demonstration shows an implementation of a supply chain management monitoring application using standard WSN nodes. It makes use of an interpreted runtime system called SensorScheme to allow efficient reprogramming and safe execution of monitoring applications running on these nodes. The demo shows all aspects of programming nodes, monitoring and fault detection, and shows the use of the SensorScheme tool set to achieve this functionality.
