e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services.

Title

Cost-benefit model for smart items in the supply chain

en
Abstract

The Internet of Things aims to connect networked information systems and real-world business processes. Technologies, such as barcodes, radio transponders (RFID) and wireless sensor networks, which are directly attached to physical items and assets transform objects into Smart Items. These Smart Items deliver the data to realize the accurate real-time representation of 'things' within the information systems. In particular for supply chain applications this allows monitoring and control throughout the entire process involving suppliers, customers and shippers. However, the problem remains what Smart Item technology should be favored in a concrete application in order to implement the Internet of Things most suitable. This paper analyzes different types of Smart Item technology within a typical logistics scenario. We develop a quantification cost model for Smart Items in order to evaluate the different views of the supplier, customer and shipper. Finally, we conclude a criterion, which supports decision makers to estimate the benefit of the Smart Items. Our approach is justified using performance numbers from a supply chain case with perishable goods. Further, we investigate the model through a selection of model parameters, e.g. the technology price, fix costs and utility, and illustrate them in a second use case. We also provide guidelines how to estimate parameters for use in our cost formula to ensure practical applicability of the model. The overall results reveal that the model is highly adaptable to various use cases and practical.
