More particularly, the present invention relates to a modeling method of a common service platform capable of providing common unit service information at a business level so that a participant in the supply chain can efficiently manage supply chains based on RFID tags and sensors.

In general, there are a variety of industrial entities that make up the supply chain, but the supporting information systems have different functions and interfaces provided by the platform, making it difficult to share and collaborate effectively in the entire supply chain. Thus, information systems that support the supply chain are failing to provide accurate and rapid decisions to service users. In addition, most information systems that support the supply chain require a high level of knowledge of the underlying infrastructure to access information, limiting the information to some experts and developers. In other words, since the user or developer of the information must directly define the process of inquiring the data and processing the data, many users who do not have the expertise there have difficulties in accessing the information. This is because the supply chain platform has prioritized the independence of the various sub-infrastructure networks, and the shared data was provided to the information users in the form of event data without processing.

Embodiments of the present invention can provide common service information (hereinafter referred to as " business event ") at a business level in an RFID tag and sensor-based supply chain having various industrial entities and provide common services to various participating entities and information users Provides a RFID-based common service platform modeling method for supply chain management.
