Wireless Sensor Networks provide opportunities
even outside their usual application domain of environmental
monitoring. In this paper we present a case study on the use of
Wireless Sensor Networks for the control and management of
transport and logistics processes. In this study nodes will track
all activities, and check for errors that might occur in the process
of handling and distributing goods. The nodes will be
programmed to warn when errors occur, and keep an activity
record of the entire process. An overview of the current situation,
and the errors that occur therein, is given. A system architecture
is described that can solve or reduce the current problems by
incorporating a Wireless Sensor Network in the process
