Changsong Ma, Hua Wei He, Rui Xie, Chuan Xian · 2010
With the development of network technology and economic globalization, customer's personalization is increasing day by day, which leads to the higher requirement of cost control and market responsiveness in retail store's logistic distribution system. Because of its own limitation, traditional information management technology which is on the basis of barcode has become bottleneck of high efficiency of retail store's logistic distribution system. And nowadays, more and more corporations attach importance to the Internet of Things which is based on Simultaneous identification and Contactless frequency Identification. By using Flexsim software, we can construct a visual simulation model. And by using dynamic simulation technology, we can achieve to simulate retail business logistic distribution process. Through entity simulation, we can construct the things of internet's application context and application model. And from the analysis of technology, venues and operation, we can solve the internet of things technology' deployment and application problems in retail business logistic distribution. And finally, provide reference to retail stores for using the internet of things.
