Report Abstract: This report presents the results from a series of case studies regarding track and trace performance in the aerospace industry. The report briefly describes the tracking and tracing operations of the companies studied, and identifies the challenges they face with regard to tracking and tracing. The report analyzes the factors that affect track and trace effectiveness. It further analyzes how each factor affects performance and how automatic identification technologies can optimize effectiveness and efficiency in the respective operations. Finally, the report describes how these findings can provide the basis for a track and trace performance measurement framework, which will be able to assess the performance of a company in different track and trace operations.\r\n\r\n
After a trademark dispute, the EPC Prototyping Platform is now called "Fosstrak" (previously Accada). Fosstrak stands for "free and open source software for track and trace".
