Challenges of Information and Communication Technologies Usage in E-Business Systems

In today\u27s identification and data collection methods on traffic entities, large number of traffic and logistic systems uses one of the automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technologies. The mentioned group contains information and communication technologies such as radio‐frequency identification (RFID), real‐time location systems (RTLS), near field communication (NFC), global positioning system (GPS), and beacon and advanced tagging technologies such as barcode and quick response code (QR code) which can be implemented with function of mobile traffic entities identification in traffic environment. In this chapter, possibilities and characteristics of mentioned technologies will be described from the aspect of their usage in traffic system through implementation of e‐business. Data collection and exchange concept will be based on cloud computing and Internet of Things concepts. Through various case study examples in traffic environment, more efficient use of AIDC technologies in traffic system will be shown

Proposal of a Conceptual Architecture System for Informing the User in the IoT Environment

Design and development of systems for delivering real-time information to people with disabilities and elderly persons need to be based on defined user requirements. For this purpose, the user requirements have been defined in this paper according to the everyday needs of people who use traffic networks and move in closed spaces. The logical presentation of the functionality of the informing system operation and its subsystems includes all the information (data) important for designing a user information delivery system. The paper presents a conceptual architecture system for delivering user informing services related to the environment based on the Internet of Things concept. The aim of the user informing service is an increase in the level of mobility of persons with disabilities and the senior age groups of users. In order to check the operation of the proposed architecture, the informing system operation was monitored on Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi platforms in laboratory conditions. A simulation confirmed the interdependence of individual data from different subsystems in order to provide real-time information to the system user. The proposed conceptual architecture can contribute to a more efficient approach to the modeling of assistive technologies (with the aim of informing the users) based on dew/fog/cloud technologies in the Internet of Things  environment.</p

Intelligent Storage System Based on Automatic Identification

This article describes RFID technology in conjunction with warehouse management systems. Article also deals with automatic identification and data capture technologies and each processes, which are used in warehouse management system. It describes processes from entering goods into production to identification of goods and also palletizing, storing, bin transferring and removing goods from warehouse. Article focuses on utilizing AMP middleware in WMS processes in Nowadays, the identification of goods in most warehouses is carried through barcodes. In this article we want to specify, how can be processes described above identified through RFID technology. All results are verified by measurement in our AIDC laboratory, which is located at the University of Žilina, and also in Laboratory of Automatic Identification Goods and Services located in GS1 Slovakia. The results of our research bring the new point of view and indicate the ways using of RFID technology in warehouse management system

PRIPRAVENOSŤ LETISKA V KOŠICIACH NA VSTUP DO SCHENGENSKEJ ZÓNY

Slovensko sa pripravuje na vstup do Schengenskej zóny od 1. januára 2008. Vstup do zóny znamená nielen ochranu vonkajších hraníc Slovenska, ale aj ochranu územia Slovenska na medzinárodných letiskách. Článok popisuje prípravy vykonané na letisku v Košiciach s tým súvisiace.Slovak republic is preparing entering to Schengen zone on January 1st 2008. It means not just defend the outside boarder to Ukraine, but also the defending international airports in Slovak republic.The article reports about activity in Airport Kosice with this entering

Principles of Selection, Implementation and Utilization of RFID in Supply Chain Management

The paper deals with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)implementation and utilization within supply chain managementand also includes the economic feasibility of rollingout RFID. The members of the supply chain networks- suppliers,manufacturers and distributors - will operate independentlyfrom one another and according to their own agendas.This type of unmanaged network, howeve1; results in inefficiencies.The manufacturer might have a goal of maximizing productionin order to minimize unit costs. Clearly, all members ofthe supply chain stand to gain by coordinating their efforts toimprove efficiency and overall supply chain performance. Thisarticle is divided into three parts: Supply chain, Economic feasibilityof rolling out RFID and Processes of Supply chain management

Impact of Sorting Machine on Life Cycle of Passive UHF RFID Tags Placed on Letter Mail

This article deals with research of passive RFID technology in conjunction with letter-size mail, which is placed into sorting machine. RFID technology is a part of automatic identification and data capture. In this article we would like to describe an identification of letter mail based on passive technology. We would like to specify, how the sorting machine impacts a readability of RFID tags placed on letter mail. We have established a number of variants of placing RFID tags into envelopes. After passing these tags, we evaluated their readability. Then we compared the results before and after passing the letters through the sorting line. All results are verified by measurement at the Slovak post main processing center located in Zilina. The results of our research bring the new point of view and indicate the ways of using of UHF RFID technology in postal and logistics applications. At the end of this article we evaluate the impact of the selected sorting line on a life cycle of RFID tags

Laboratory Testing of Active and Passive UHF RFID Tags

This article deals with research of laboratory testing by active and passive UHF tags and therefore mutual coexistence of active and passive RFID technology, which is a part of automatic identification and data capture. In this article we would like to describe an identification of transport unit based on passive technology and also by active technology. We would like to specify, how this technologies can work together and in which application focuses on postal and logistics. All results are verified by measurement in our AIDC laboratory, which is located at the University of Žilina. Our research contains different types of measurements in order to point out the possible influence of these two technologies. The results of our research bring the new point of view and indicate the ways using of UHF RFID technology in postal and logistics applications. At the end of this article is characterized the utilization of the RFID technology in postal logistics chain by using both passive and active technologies
