Abstract:

Information sharing systems help supply chain management (SCM) by tracking and identifying an object’s or human’s location in real time. However, prior to implement an information system, various technologies and the related advantages and disadvantages must be considered. This paper investigates the state of the art technologies applied in SCM and presents a study about their benefits and drawbacks. RFID, GPS, NFC, ZigBee, ultrasonic, UWB, and infrared systems are discussed and finally Visible Light Communication for different stages of a SCM is proposed.
