Abstract

A system for monitoring the life cycle of a product even in open-loop retail environment having regard to the associated supply or value chain, comprising tag provision equipment arranged to obtain product information and to configure a wirelessly interrogatable electronic identification tag provided with externally readable identification information to a product item, wherein configuring incorporates at least partially automated determination, according to predefined decision logic, of at least one technical characteristic of tag implementation based on the product information to optimize the operation of the tag, and electronic data management system accessible via a communications network, preferably the Internet, comprising a data interface configured to receive and transmit data, anda data repository configured to store indications of received digital notifications of tag reading events in a plurality of activities of the associated supply or value chain, the notifications conveying the tag identification information. A corresponding method for execution by the system is presented.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the present invention relates to remote tracking and related analysis of products. In particular, but not exclusively, the invention relates to tracking the status of a product item with respect to an associated supply or value chain, and the provision of related analytics by utilizing wireless readable tags provided with the product item. Background technique [0002] Products can be tracked through a variety of different technical means. Supply chain and value chain traceability can provide valuable insights into the overall management of these two links and in general a product's lifecycle (including design, manufacturing, logistics, storage, marketing, sales, brand management, etc.). [0003] In particular, supply chain management (SCM) refers to the management of the flow of goods and services, including the transportation and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from the point of origin to the point...
