The Internet of Things is assumed to be one of the main requirements of pervasive computing [24]. The term
was first used by Kevin Ashton, a visionary from RFID community, in a presentation that he gave in 1999. Ten
years later, Ashton [3] refers that: “If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things—
using data they gathered without any help from us—we would be able to track and count everything, and greatly
reduce waste, loss and cost. We would know when things needed replacing, repairing or recalling, and whether
they were fresh or past their best”. The logistics view sees the Internet of Things as a logistics system [24]. The
Things can be palettes and containers or packages that can be automatically directed through internal and external
logistics systems, and can demand necessary resources such as a means of transport.
Today the primary conditions necessary for implementing the Internet of Things exist: sensor technology and
RFID technology. In the following, we will present the state of the art in these fields and discuss the intensions
for the near future, focusing on the area of logistics and the supply chain.
