Popis: Perishables need special conditions within the food supply chain like temperature or humidity. There is a lack of information along the food supply chain (FSC) concerning temperatures for perishable goods. By integrating the Intelligent Container (IC) within the Internet of Things the lack of information will be eliminated and thus wastes of food will be reduced. The first step for this integration is to analyze common techniques in modeling supply chains and especially the FSC and create a model taking into consideration the concept of the IC. On this basis, technologies to generate information along the FSC are shown and the IC is linked to the Internet of Things. Finally, a logistic reference model will be deduced from the Internet of Things for perishables.
