The development of low-cost smart labels with sensing capabilities is raising a high interest among the scientific community due to the increasing need for monitoring ambient conditions in the fields of wearable electronics and logistics. Printed electronics gathers all the requirements to enable the development of cost-effective smart systems, the reason why the framework of this thesis, the E...

This article discusses inventory management of perishable items, including the differences between inventory models that consider items’ perishability and the standard models that ignore this issue. We hope that this article will help fostering the interest of students and researchers in inventory control of perishable items, and ultimately help improving the inventory control of perishable ite...

It is agreed that good communication systems between organisations increase customer satisfaction and relationship behaviour. However, less is known about the details of how information is used to manage relationships. Theories that have been found have either been tested on non-perishable goods or on small case studies.

Without the cold-chain network, it would be impossible in today's world to transport large quantities of perishable goods, primarily food and medicine, over long distances, but is still very important that necessary materials reach their destination on time with adequate cooling. This absolutely true for vaccines created stop Covid-19 pandemic, which had distributed quickly at certain storage t...

This paper presents a wireless mesh network testbed based on ESP8266 devices using painlessMesh library. It evaluates its feasibility and potential effectiveness as solution to monitor perishable goods, such fresh fruit vegetables, which are often stored transported inside refrigerated containers. Performance testing experiments with different numbers of nodes traffic loads message payload size...

Now-a-days the more accurate prediction of demand for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) is a competitive factor both manufacturers and retailers, especially in super markets, wholesale fresh food sectors other consumable industries. This proposed system presents benefits Machine Learning sales forecasting short shelf-life highly-perishable products, as it predict statistical information result,...

now a days, management and control of perishable inventories is important in many units and industrial enterprises. basically perishable inventory management and control is more complex and challenging than inventories with unlimited lifetime. hence determining the optimal inventory policies for these products is very important.  in this paper, the optimal inventory policy for perishable items ...

In this paper, we deal with the problem of a fixed number of units of a certain perishable commodity over a continuous time horizon. Airline seats, hotel rooms, advertising space in newspapers, and some seasonal products that must be sold before the end of the season are examples of such commodities that cannot be carried over and are not storable for consumers. This paper considers such a prob...
