Sensors-based treatment system of the organic waste with RFID identification and on-cloud traceability

Aim of the present manuscript is to summarize the multi-disciplinary activities related to the research project called POIROT that proposes to design a platform for transforming the organic waste into an inert, odorless and sanitized material, employable for building applications or as thermal acoustic insulator. The platform prototype is equipped with Arduino-based electronic sensing stations for characterizing the material during the different steps of the transformation process. Further innovation introduced by the proposed system is the integration of the platform with a RFID-based user-recognition and products traceability system, allowing both to identify the enabled users and to track the produced panels/bricks along the whole supply chain. Therefore, a proper software on-cloud application was developed for supporting the products’ traceability functionality.
