Description

The M-Lab is a professionally managed joint project of the HSG (University of St. Gallen) and the ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). The core team is comprised of 5-8 companies with 6 PhD students and 2 professors (Elgar Fleisch and Friedemann Mattern) from the fields of computer science and business management who work on specific company-related problems and general issues associated with ubiquitous computing.

The M-Lab is a very cost-efficient means of harnessing the innovative power of ubiquitous computing for business as an "early mover". The M-Lab is rooted in international science and business, has a local presence, cooperates globally with the best institutions in the field of ubiquitous computing and combines the business (HSG) and technical (ETH) points of view.

Displaying Dynamic Carbon Footprints of Products on Mobile Phones

Several brand owners are calculating the carbon footprint of sample products and intend to make the information available to their consumers as a label on the product. A physical label on the items or on the retail shelf will not be flexible enough to show the carbon footprint because of the dynamic nature of carbon emissions and the potential difference in footprint between instances of the same product. In this demonstration, we show an alternative to a static physical label, namely an NFC-enabled mobile phone that displays the carbon footprint of tagged products. In addition to demonstrating the dynamic nature of carbon footprints, our prototype shows how consumers can be empowered with knowledge about the products they buy.

Anti-Counterfeiting Based on Supply Chain Proximity
(VDE Verlag, 2008-06-10)
Dada, Ali

Strueker, Jens
Despite the availability of several product authentication technologies, anti-counterfeiters still find difficulty in locating the suspicious items among the mostly genuine ones. We propose in this paper an approach that uses previously performed authenticity checks to determine the likelihood that the yet-unchecked items are authentic or fake. The approach is based on proximity of items in the supply chain, which can be deduced from Track and Trace data of RFID-tagged items. The paper discusses the algorithms used to calculate the fakeness probability of yet-unchecked items and gives the results of a simulation study that evaluates the algorithms' performance.

Assessing Interoperability in the Retail Industry: The Case of Metro Group
(2007-03-28)
Kuerschner, Chris
;
Thiesse, Frederic
A promising strategy for coping with supply chain inefficiencies, cost pressure, and increased customer demand in the retail industry is a close cooperation between the retailers and their business partners. As a consequence, both parties need to develop organisational and operational abilities to seamlessly integrate their business activities. The aim of this paper is to investigate the example of Metro Group in order to make statements on the need for interoperability in the retail supply chain. We apply an existing framework for interoperability assessment and discuss the causes and motives for suboptimal interoperability ratings. Furthermore, we outline areas for improvement for the given cooperation scenario.
