Two-Stage Multichannel Architecture for Oyster Product Management System

Abstract

In this paper, we propose two-stage multichannel architecture for oyster product management system, called cloud stage and agent stage. There are two communication channels at each stage. In cloud stage, the embedded system in the smart scale communicates with the server through two channels, Ethernet or 3G/LTE mobile communication. In agent stage, PCs and smart phones called agents communicate with the server also through Internet and 3G/LTE mobile communication. In addition to the amount of oysters produced at all oyster workplaces, the environment of oyster workplaces, such as temperature and humidity can be monitored on agents to judge the freshness. Two stage architecture with multiple channels makes it possible to monitor the amount of oyster product and environment of the oyster workplace at any place in real time.
