Markerless Outdoor AR-RFID Solution for Logistics

The main objective of this paper is to describe the logistics processes improvement by use of AR (augmented reality) and hybrid RFID (Radio-frequency identification) technologies in outdoor environment. Augmented reality and RFID nowadays are well known and widespread technologies. It is possible to achieve functional and perspective system by merging these technologies together. The paper provides theoretical characteristics of logistics, RFID, AR technologies and offers theoretical model for idea implementation and approbation. Model depicts markerless AR-RFID solution for outdoor object tracking and 3D model visualization. Also physical structure and basic calculations are offered to provide necessary fundamentals for development of test platform and pilot product. Provision of outdoor object tracking and 3D model visualization may significantly impact and improve logistics processes in varies of fields.
