Virtualization of food supply chains with Internet of Things

11 January 2016

Internet technologies allow supply chains to use virtualizations dynamically in operational management processes. Virtualization enables supply chain actors to monitor, control, plan and optimize business processes remotely and in real-time through the Internet, based on virtual objects instead of observation on-site.
Researchers at LEI Wageningen UR NL analysed the concept of virtual food supply chains from an Internet of Things perspective and propose an architecture to implement enabling information systems. As a proof of concept, the architecture is applied to a case study of a fish supply chain. An article about the research is published in the Journal of Food Engineering.
