We’ve just posted one of our first project documents: a report on Tagging Technologies that was written by MSc student James Mitchener. This is a comprehensive look at how tagging technologies like RFID can be used to track products from their producers, through the distribution chain, to the retailer — with information being linked to the tag all the way. Consumers can then access this information using a device that reads the tag and retrieves related information from the Internet. The report also looks at how geographic information can be attached to products and displayed using Geographic Information Systems such as Google Maps.
This was an excellent project that received a distinction. Your comments are welcome!
