4. Introduction
Nanosensor technology is an improvement
to sensor technology
The existing sensor application play an extensive
role in supply chain
Nanosensor hold great promise in logistic
management
Logistics management is a complex business
involving many parties and high volume of goods
5. Nanosensor
Nanosensors are any biological,chemical,or surgical
sensory points used to convey information about
nanoparticles to the macroscopic world
Nanosensors work with their special sensation
ability which can detect data and information
The major difference between sensors and
nanosensors is that nanosensors are developed on
nanoscale
6. Nanosensors can accurately identify specific cells or
parts of the body with any deficiency
They work by calculating and measuring the changes
temperature, volume, pressure of each cell in the
Living body
Many nanosensors are designed to differentiate
between normal and abnormal cells
Sensors for detecting cancer in the living body and
and molecular controllers to deliver medicines
7. Logistics and wireless sensor networks have many key
components or functions in common
Nanosensors can be attached to crates, roll containers
pallets and shipping containers to function as Active
transport tracking devices
These devices can actively monitor the transportation
process , and verify proper handling conditions of
goods such as temperature for fresh foods
8. Able to detect macroscopic changes that appears from
external interactions and communicate these variations
to the other nano components
The unique properties of nano materials and
nanoparticles to detect and measure new types of
events at the nanoscale
Communication among nanosensors will expand the
capabilities and applications of individual nano devices
9. The area covered by a single Nanosensor is limited to
its close environment
A network of nanosensors will be able to cover larger
areas and perform additional in network processing
Nanoscale sensing technologies require the use of
external excitation and measurement equipment to
operate
10. The applications of nanosensors mainly include various
medicinal purposes
Acting as gateways to build other nano products ,such
as computer chips that works at nanoscale and
nanorobots
Certain plants too , use nanosensors to detect sunlight
11. Nanosensor in logistics
The more advanced information and communication
technologies can offer better services in managing
the entire logistic process
Current wireless sensor network hardware platforms
are suitable for use as a Active Transport Tracking
Devices
These nanostructures are manipulated using
dielectrophoretic forces
12. The Nanosensor technology is based on "striped" high
aspect ratio cylindrical structures grown
using porous membranes as templates for the
development and deployment of nanosensors in
integrated systems
13. Nanosensor in logistic management
The basic objective of logistics management is to
‘Optimize performance of the chain to add as much
value as possible for the least cost possible’
To link all the logistics agent to cooperate jointly
within the firm as a way to maximize productivity
in the logistics
Successful logistics requires a change from managing
individual functions to integrating activities into key
logistics processes
14. Sensor scheme is an interpreter to execute dynamically
loaded application code for WSN platforms based on
the scheme programming language
It presents a safe execution environment , in which
malfunctioning programs cannot crash the device
Equipped with high level programming facilities such
as garbage collection
15. Communicated by automatic marshalling of data
items , and co-routines to implement multiple
threads of and enable the blocking of I/O calls
Sensor scheme can be put to good use in many
other , more traditional WSN application
They could also be encrypted into the packages
16. Nanosensors can be applied as labels or coatings to
add an intelligent function to packaging especially
food packaging
The use of nanotechnologies to develop antimicrobial
packaging to prolong product
Packaging that incorporates nanomaterials can be
‘smart’ meaning that it can respond to environment
17. Nanotechnologies can modify the permeation behaviour
of foils thus increasing barrier properties
Nanotechnologies also offer the opportunity of sensors
built into food packages that can detect spoilage
One aim of innovative packaging solutions is a
reduction in spoilage
18. Nanotechnology permits information to be encrypted
directly into the individual item
Nanoguard have been able to encode data not only
onto the packaging but directly into tablets , capsules
The technique involves using a scanning probe
molecule coated tip to deposit a chemically engineered
ink material
19. Logistics is the series of links and shared processes
existing between suppliers and customers , which
involves all activities from the raw materials
To deliver the finished goods to the end customers
