What is RFID Reader

Supply chain coordination needs resource and information sharing between business partners. Recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT) enables the evolution of the supply chain industry to meet the new requirements of information sharing architectures due to globalization of supply chain operations. The advent of the internet of things (IoT) technology has since seen a growing interest in architectural design and adaptive frameworks to promote the connection between heterogenous IoT devices and IoT-based information systems. The most widely preferred software architecture in IoT is the semantic web-based service-oriented architecture (SOA), which aims to provide a loosely coupled systems to leverage the use of IoT services at the middle-ware layer to minimise system integration problems. This chapter reviews existing architectural frameworks for integrating IoT devices and identifies the key areas that require further research for industrial information service improvements. Finally, several future research directions in microservice systems are discussed.
