Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the field of connecting devices consumers use every day to the internet. As the world relies on more and more internet-driven technological devices to control functions within the home, issues with compatibility of those devices are surfacing. This research was created to establish the need for standardization of IoT devices within the home.

Compared to conventional material flow controls, self-organized material handling systems and the Internet of Things in facility logistics promise several advantages during the life-cycle. Most important is the increased adaptability in case of expansions or modifications due to a consistent modular design; this also promotes an increased robustness due to clearly defined interfaces and a decreased complexity of each module. The use of RFID technology increases the availability of real-time data about the system and the transported units. However, the introduction of self-organized material handling systems also causes costs, e.g. for necessary RFID tags and readers. Against this background, it …
