title: Proposing Model for Security of IoT Devices in Smart Logistics: A Review
abstract: The information technology's new revolution is Internet of Things (IoT) where physical world is connected to the internet. IoT applications are diversified such as smart health, smart industry, smart homes and most importantly smart logistics for perishable items conservation. Although IoT devices have revolutionized world but due to their constrained nature they are at the cost of a greater risk of personal data loss, security breaches and misuse. In this research, a review is presented for proposing two state of the art modules i.e. communication model of smart logistics and security of IoT devices in Smart Logistics. As the smart logistics have perishable items i.e. fruits, vegetables, meat, medicine, chemicals, and cosmetics etc. which are sensitive to temperature, humidity and pressure etc. If the sensors monitoring these items have been handled abnormally due to security attacks, it will give huge loss. Therefore, security of smart logistics is of paramount importance in this research. In order to expedite research in this emergent area of IoT, in this research paper a brief review on progress of IoT in smart logistics, and its security has been presented.

title: Scalable Emulated Framework for IoT Devices in Smart Logistics Based Cyber Physical Systems: Bonded Coverage and Connectivity Analysis
abstract: In this research, scalable framework for Smart Logistics based Cyber Physical System (SLCPS) is emulated for stable coverage and connectivity of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. This work is modern manifestation of three laws of computing. Moore's and Koomey's laws recommend performance gain and energy efficiency whereas Metcalfe's law imply network scalability. Combination of these laws suggests the research proposition that development of scalable and performance efficient IoT networks is inevitable. Although IoT has improved specific logistics modules considerably, but incorporation of IoT in complete supply chain of food and random placement of IoT devices due to which unstable coverage and connectivity occurred are major challenges in logistics. The proposed SLCPS framework is designed firstly, to develop apt IoT protocol stack for logistics. Secondly, for bonded connectivity and coverage, mathematical models are proposed instead of random placement and coverage map is based on binary coverage model. Thirdly, for scalability supply chain of food for smart logistics process is designed in terms of container, storehouse and warehouse comprising of varying number of IoT devices. The architecture of SLCPS framework has three modules i.e. internal IoT network, border router and external network, emulated in Cooja simulator. The contikimac protocol is used for efficient traffic flow and power consumption. Single hop, multiple hops and random IoT devices placement scenarios are used for results comparison and validation. The performance evaluation results, i.e. throughput, network convergence time, packet delivery ratio, average latency, power consumption and timeline investigation validated utilization of proposed framework in terms of enhanced network performance. Significance of proposed SLCPS framework results in cost minimization, reducing communication and computation overhead, resilience to IoT device failures and an interference free network connectivity and coverage. Coverage and connectivity are measure of quality of service in IoT network. Therefore, this research provided bonded coverage and connectivity in smart logistics using mathematical models. In addition, a baseline framework is provided for extended research in CPS and IoT applications.

title: An IoT enabled Real time Logistics System for A Third Party Company: A Case Study
abstract: With the boom of E commerce in recent years, the third party logistics (3PL) gains much favor for its large scope of service provided and economy of scale. Meanwhile, in the face of oceans of parcels to deliver, it casts requests on the efficiency of warehouse management to meet the need of customers. However, most companies conduct warehousing operations still relying on the paper for guiding and recording, and information is rarely shared even in the same company. Besides, few big companies are pursuing an automatic system to replace manpower, but in effect, the system is too mass and complicated to be stable and robust in usage. In this study, an IoT enabled cyber physical system assisted with wearable devices and wireless communication technologies, like RFID and Bluetooth, has been developed to cooperate with kinds of stakeholders to achieve higher operational efficiency. It has been deployed in a 3PL automotive parts company at the Great Bay Area in China as a case study. Their nationally distributed warehouses realized real time synchronizations of operations and information sharing within the company. Moreover, it not only highlighted the sustainability by nearly removing the paper in operations but also enhanced visibility and traceability throughout the whole process. The framework of the system and workflow proposed here can be duplicated or adjusted by other enterprises who share similar features. The success of this practice may motivate more 3PL companies to adopt cutting edge technologies to create effective solutions for warehouse management.

title: Offline Mobile Based Otp Technology for Enterprise IoT Enabled Architecture in Banking Cash Logistics ATM Operations
abstract: The Internet has been in presence for more than 40 years now and the expression "Internet of Things" (IoT) has been being used since huge scale appropriation of RFID started 10 years back. IoT empowers things to convey about themselves and their condition with different things and PCs and enable them to take an interest in business procedures and regular day to day existences of individuals. Many financial frameworks have fulfilled the 2FA necessities by sending a One Time Password (OTP) something had, through a SMS to the client's telephone gadget. Unfortunately, universal roaming and SMS expenses and delays put restrictions on this system reliability. It gives a stage to correspondence between objects where items can compose and oversee themselves. By analyzing current technology research and by investigating future application situations for the Internet of Things, this paper will feature out its potentially huge advantages in the cash logistics and ATM operations.

title: Internet of Things (IoT) driven kanban system for reverse logistics: solid waste collection
abstract: Increasing consumer awareness and soaring prices for raw material make reverse logistics an ever more important aspect of the product life cycle. However, most research focuses on the remanufacturing and recycling process leaving the actual tasks of waste collection behind. Moreover, existing research on waste collection typically assumes the problem to be deterministic, neglecting its stochastic nature. This study first diagnoses the solid waste collection problem; it is classified as an inventory control problem with confluent material flows and stochastic demand. A type of control system designed for this kind of problem is the kanban system. In response, the applicability of a kanban system for solid waste collection is discussed. While kanbans are a suitable mean to signal time and quantity of waste collection, the large quantity of collection points and geographical distances involved hinder its direct application. How the kanban system can be driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) was consequently the second objective of this study. Using a framework of an IoT driven production logistics system the control structure of the original kanban system has been analyzed. Out of this analysis the architecture of an IoT driven kanban system for solid waste collection is proposed.

title: Conceptual framework of IoT for transport logistics an approach to connecting material flow and IT in self directing collaborating logistics progressions
abstract: IT has revolutionized every aspect of human life. Today business pace is far faster and bears different dimension than earlier. Markets and customer expectations are shifting fast so putting pressure on transport logistics in big way. This is causing evolving of complex supply chain models as number of stakeholders have increased so is their expectation. In this context three (Aberle in Transportwirtschaft: einzelwirtschaftliche und gesamtwirtschaftliche Grundlagen, Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH, 4 edn, 2003) important outcomes are becoming clear which are characterize these changes and these outcomes are structure of the goods, the complex logistics outcome and the operational outcome. The first outcome refers to shift away from mass production towards customer want, which generates trend like excessive outsourcing, specialized production units and customization causing significant increase of shipping cost. The second outcome coupled along with heavy reliance on E Retailing is cause shift to road transport with demand on quality of service and timely delivery. The third outcome demanding team effort of rather competing logistics service providers to customer satisfaction/delightment.
