Abstract:
This paper describes a scalable logistic cell Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) Witness Model. First, a scalable logistic cell analysis is done which can be applied to the logistics of any size-scale and application. This model is then implemented into Witness and simulated, for different cases. To show practicability, the model is mirrored in a physical Internet of Things (IoT) device in form of an Arduino micro-controller board which is attached to an RFID-Reader, together with a model-warehouse / forklift truck unit. The specific challenge of this work is to design a universal logistic model, for demonstration of all possible logistic applications with one simple cell, together with a single step IoT connection, and that can be easily built as well as a physical, as a computer simulation model.
