Abstract

Because of the underdeveloped market for used computers, a large number of functional systems are going to waste. A significant barrier to the development of a market is the inability to communicate the worth of a computer. In order to overcome this barrier, a system for determining the value through monitoring of the conditions under which it is used is suggested. This system uses sensors already present in modern systems to monitor usage conditions, then utilises Radio Frequency Identification to transmit this information for analysis. The proposed system will streamline the reverse logistics process by providing a quick, simple method for the identification of reusable computers, and some of the technical issues are discussed in this paper.
