RFID based Logistic Management System using Internet of Things (IoT)

In the era of IoT and data analytics this paper has proposed system architecture for RFID based shipment tracking using Raspberry Pi equipped with RFID RC522 module. Light weight MQTT protocol is used for publishing real-time passive RFID tag data to CloudMQTT broker from Raspberry Pi. Further the logistics management and monitoring can be done using web based multiple platform GUI using MQTT subscribe message from MQTT broker. Using data analytics tool various logistic related data can be automated for better logistic management. Raspberry Pi uses python based Mosquitto MQTT client program to publish data to CloudMQTT broker using an IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN NIC.
