Sensors exploitation in supply chain management for French homeland security

The RESCUE-IT project is presented, the objective is the improvement of homeland security by the integration of RFID tags and wireless sensors in supply chain of chemicals in the European Union. Pallets are equipped with a RFID tag and a set of sensors that monitor in real-time the environment state. The collected data are transmitted to a software able to translate data into accident risks. The software is able to detect unusual values and to send alerts to the supply chain actor responsible for the goods. In parallel, alerts are sent to emergency services that can plan their interventions.
