Sensor technologies can significantly improve the management of perishable goods. Studies show that even though sensors introduce additional costs, they help to increase supply chain efficiency and thus profits. However, the application of the technology also leads to additional greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, we conduct a case study that investigates the value of sensor based replenishment configurations with respect to profit and emissions. Our results show that profit-optimal solutions can also lead to significant reductions in emission levels. With an abatement cost analysis, we explain how to balance the trade-off between profit maximization and emission minimization.
It is the goal of this workshop to bring together researchers from the fields of recommender systems, pervasive computing, mobile computing, urban sensing, social networking, context-aware systems and...
