Applications of IOT Technology in the Supply Chain

An overview of research being conducted by Dr. Russell Clark, senior research scientist in Georgia Tech's School of Computer Science and SCL affiliated faculty member, as part

of the SCL Interdisciplinary Research Center seminar series.

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION
The commoditization of sensor packages along with ubiquitous wireless communications has combined to make the Internet of Things a reality. The supply chain and logistics fields

are undergoing dramatic changes based from the introduction of these technologies. We will look at some examples and opportunities to leverage the widespread availability of

fine-grained, real-time data. We will also discuss challenges that must be addressed as these technologies are adopted.
