A Low-Cost Low-Power ZigBee Parcel Tracking System

In this paper, an approach of parcels tracking system is proposed. It studies the feasibility of products monitoring process during transport or stocking. It also supervises continuously their state and uploads status information to remote platforms. The process avoids visual control which seems long and hard, and prevent about poor conditioning of goods caused by humidity and temperature. The approach consists on a small ZigBee WSN embedded within parcels, responsible of data management. The aim of the study is to analyzes the feasibility of such idea and summarize its benefits and issues.
