Project presentation

Le sigle RFID (de l’anglais radio frequency identification) est une technologie permettant de mémoriser et récupérer des données à distance en utilisant des marqueurs (tags en anglais) appelés "radio-étiquettes". Elles sont massivement dans la logistique (transport des produits) pour tracer en temps-réel les produits transportés. Un des principaux standards du monde de la RFID est le standard EPC Global de GS1 (http://www.gs1.org/epcglobal). L'objectif de ce projet est de développer une application développée en Node.js sur le framework temps réel Meteor pour suivre des produits (et/ou leurs contenants) tout au long de la chaîne logistique (depuis l'usine de production au magasin).

Team

This project is directed by Didier Donsez and designed by Hugo Amodru-Favin and Antoine Delise. Both are currently studying in their first year of Polytech master degree. The project is part of the Software Development course.

Summary

This project consists of the development of a Meteor application allowing the users to follow packages, create new packages, scan existing packages to update their positions. The use of different devices must be possible to scan the RFID tags. We decided to develop our project in only one application as we consider it more relevant. A major aspect of our application is managing the loss of articles of the packages. Judging on the situation, if an article is missing, if is found in another package or back to its package, an e-mail is sent to the sender to help him contact the user who did a suspicious scan.
