TL;DR: This paper presents a comprehensive and comparative study on three actually leading LPWAN technologies called Sigfox, LoRaWAN, and NB-IoT and shows that Sigfox and Lo RaWAN excel on network capacity, devices lifetime, and cost whereas, NB- IoT excels on quality of service and latency.
Abstract: LPWAN are actually the most popular low cost, long battery lifetime, and long range communication technology for IoT applications. This paper presents a comprehensive and comparative study on three actually leading LPWAN technologies called Sigfox, LoRaWAN, and NB-IoT. We show that Sigfox and LoRaWAN excel on network capacity, devices lifetime, and cost. Whereas, NB-IoT excels on quality of service and latency. In addition, we consider application scenarios and explain which technology fits best to guide future researchers and industrials.

TL;DR: The use of automatic identification devices (Auto-ID tags) as permanent escort memories associated to the car during its whole life cycle are concerns, based on ISO STEP technology to define computer-aided tools for data structuring and management of product knowledge implemented on mobile database nodes circulating in an open environment from manufacturing to recycling.
Abstract: This paper concerns the use of automatic identification devices (Auto-ID tags) as permanent escort memories associated to the car during its whole life cycle. These memories provide an integration frame for vehicle lifecycle information, which are necessary to support the manufacturing, after-sales services and recycling processes. Additionally they will allow developing new value-added services for customers. Distribution of the information system onto each individual product requires tools and methods to manage and provide access to product related information for both automated systems and human operators. Automatic identification technology using electronic data carriers can provide such functionality and act as product information vectors. The presented approach is based on ISO STEP technology to define computer-aided tools for data structuring and management of product knowledge implemented on mobile database nodes circulating in an open environment from manufacturing to recycling. This work has been conducted with a french car manufacturer.

TL;DR: This paper explores the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on supply chain management (SCM) through an extensive literature review and finds that most studies have focused on conceptualising the impact of IoT with limited analytical models and empirical studies.
Abstract: This paper explores the role of Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on supply chain management (SCM) through an extensive literature review. Important aspects of IoT in SCM are covered including IoT definition, main IoT technology enablers and various SCM processes and applications. We offer several categorisation of the extant literature, such as based on methodology, industry sector and focus on a classification based on major supply chain processes. In addition, a bibliometric analysis of the literature is also presented. We find that most studies have focused on conceptualising the impact of IoT with limited analytical models and empirical studies. In addition, most studies have focused on the delivery supply chain process and the food and manufacturing supply chains. Areas of future SCM research that can support IoT implementation are also identified.

TL;DR: An in-depth survey of BCoT is presented and the insights of this new paradigm are discussed and the open research directions in this promising area are outlined.
Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is reshaping the incumbent industry to smart industry featured with data-driven decision-making. However, intrinsic features of IoT result in a number of challenges, such as decentralization, poor interoperability, privacy, and security vulnerabilities. Blockchain technology brings the opportunities in addressing the challenges of IoT. In this paper, we investigate the integration of blockchain technology with IoT. We name such synthesis of blockchain and IoT as blockchain of things (BCoT). This paper presents an in-depth survey of BCoT and discusses the insights of this new paradigm. In particular, we first briefly introduce IoT and discuss the challenges of IoT. Then, we give an overview of blockchain technology. We next concentrate on introducing the convergence of blockchain and IoT and presenting the proposal of BCoT architecture. We further discuss the issues about using blockchain for fifth generation beyond in IoT as well as industrial applications of BCoT. Finally, we outline the open research directions in this promising area.

TL;DR: The existing literature on the application of IoT in in energy systems, in general, and in the context of smart grids particularly is reviewed, and challenges of deploying IoT in the energy sector are reviewed, including privacy and security.
Abstract: Integration of renewable energy and optimization of energy use are key enablers of sustainable energy transitions and mitigating climate change. Modern technologies such the Internet of Things (IoT) offer a wide number of applications in the energy sector, i.e, in energy supply, transmission and distribution, and demand. IoT can be employed for improving energy efficiency, increasing the share of renewable energy, and reducing environmental impacts of the energy use. This paper reviews the existing literature on the application of IoT in in energy systems, in general, and in the context of smart grids particularly. Furthermore, we discuss enabling technologies of IoT, including cloud computing and different platforms for data analysis. Furthermore, we review challenges of deploying IoT in the energy sector, including privacy and security, with some solutions to these challenges such as blockchain technology. This survey provides energy policy-makers, energy economists, and managers with an overview of the role of IoT in optimization of energy systems.
