    CAHIER DE RECHERCHE n° 2012-02 E5RFID associated to ambient intelligence provide the basic interconnected network infrastructure for decentralized warehouses management and control. In this paper, we discuss benefits and barriers of decentralized approaches and how they can be adopted in warehouses. We examine mechanisms, protocols and architectures that can be used for warehouse decentralized control. Finally, we propose a warehouse architecture based on decentralized approach for warehouses order fulfillment process. This architecture associates RFID technology with ambient intelligence platform and multi-agent system

    International audienceIndustrial deployment of the Internet Of Things (IOT) provides development of an ideal platform for decentralized management of warehouses. In this paper, we propose an IOT infrastructure for collaborative warehouse order fulfillment based on RFID, ambient intelligence and multi-agent system. It consists of a physical devices layer, a middleware ambient platform, a multi-agent system and an enterprise resource planning. It integrates a bottom-up approach with decision support mechanisms such as self-organization and negotiation protocols between agents based on “com-peration=competition+cooperation” concept. This approach was selected to improve reaction capabilities of decentralized management of warehouses in a dynamic environment. A collaborative warehouse example was conducted to demonstrate the implementation of the proposed infrastructure
