Problems solved by technology

As a result of this type of problem, traditional systems present a distorted and fragmented picture of the truth
In addition, most traditional systems can only observe in a limited range and resolution, for example, the system can only distinguish the type and quantity of products but cannot distinguish individual items

example

[0417] As shown in FIG. 14, a system consistent with the present invention can be implemented with a shared ITS (Item Tracking System) and multiple, usually private, domain ITSs. The system of the present invention need not have an explicit top level and shared nodes. Certain implementations of the inventive system will be a federation of businesses without having a hierarchy above the businesses. Other implementations would be multiple top-level, shared nodes, each possibly supporting a particular business unit at the business level. Typically, the architecture will be driven by various considerations, including in supporting protocols within the enterprise.

[0418] In FIG. 14, the existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system 1401 can be any regional enterprise software for managing goods movement and storage. ERP systems for each business (or portion of a business) may be different.

[0419] Each enterprise has multiple tag readers 1402 that supply digital informat...

Abstract

A method and device for tracking items in real time and a method and device for tracking items in an environment-oriented manner, which include computer program products. A tag attached to an item is read and information read about the tag from the tag and from environmental information is provided by at least two businesses and used to maintain information about the item and to be visible to businesses in the supply chain. The configuration information may correspond to a world model that tracks the item and conditions affecting the item, such as geospatial events and traffic delays. The visibility of configuration information can be controlled by authorization. Visible information may include relationships between specific items and business documents such as orders and shipping documents.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to tracking physical items. Background technique [0002] Conventional systems for tracking physical items typically include computing devices and software. Such systems store information indicative of this condition, such as the current location of the tracked object. It is conceivable that this is a virtual world. [0003] In traditional systems, there is often a gap between the actual status of a project and the status indicated by the system. Gaps are often caused by erroneous manual data entry and system limitations. As a result of these types of problems, traditional systems present a distorted and fragmented picture of reality. In addition, most conventional systems can only observe in a limited range and resolution, for example, the system can only distinguish the type and quantity of products but cannot distinguish individual items. Contents of the invention [0004] This specification describes methods and...
