Applying Internet of Thing Technology in Supply Chain Management Based on Cloud Computing

Abstract

Ubiquitous computing has facilitated many aspects of our daily life using various technologies based of network. It is expected that wireless sensors connect every things in the physical word which belong us, making a new network up to the end of current decade. The increased usage of the smart devices in a dynamic and comprehend network led to the internet of things in which sensors and activators are combined with the environment in an integrated way and information are shared throughout the system in order to make a common performance image. Internet of things has entered into its next step leaving the primary step and act as a future technology revolution turning current static internet to a dynamic and completely integrated environment. Cloud computing significantly has supported the internet of things technology by obtaining information from different sensor and objects to be able to behave in a flexible way. The Internet of things improvement has led to a type of cloud computing with higher services level than primary ones. Some characteristics of it (cloud computing) includes; higher quality in computer services, Presenting practical services, presenting services in the form of the software, and creating proper platforms for complete practical software in the internet. This article, surveys the supply chain management and logistic problems in organizations, manages the problems using internet of things based on cloud computing and finally explains the impacts of its applications.
