Information technology for transportation.

There are many types of information technology for transportation. The first one is the basics bar coding, EDI, and track and trace. Bar coding is simple, we always see it in our live. For each product, it will have the bar coding that will give the information about it such as the expired date, the manufacturer and many more. Next is EDI. EDI means electronic data interchange. I will give you an example that is internet. When we want to order something using Facebook, we will chat with the seller and when the sellers reply our question, that’s means there are information interchange happened that using an electronic device that is internet.

Next is track and trace, track and trace will give us an information about our product location. It also using the bar codes but it is more advance because we can trace where the location of our product is and with this technology we always can control the movement of our product.

Another information technology is the internet emerges. We can use internet as information resources, communication, and transaction. Transportation requirement planning is the way that shipper and carrier can contact during the transaction. Next is internet-intelligent applications, this technology is more to transaction business and process.

More than that is transparent EDI. With this technology, the seller and buyer can share the information but there have other people that still can know about the information. That’s mean, the information is for public. Next is data warehousing. Before this warehouse company only can contact with the transportation company but for the future warehouse, they can link their database for another system of warehouse.
