Using RFID for tracing cumulated resources and emissions in supply chain
by Marko Junkkari; Antti Sirkka
International Journal of Ad Hoc and Ubiquitous Computing (IJAHUC), Vol. 8, No. 4, 2011

Abstract: The tracing of resources and emissions has been recognised increasingly important in supply chains. The developed traceability graph enables tracing of information associated with products and their parts. Tracing in a supply chain requires the three integrated levels of actions: 1 at the physical level the Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is used for physical objects; 2 at the data-storing level logical counterparts of RFID tags and database objects are mapped; 3 operational actions determine how recourses, emissions etc. are portioned in different parts of the traceability graph. Briefly, we integrate RFID technology with databases and operational actions of the supply chain.
