"iTape Logistics Real-time Monitoring and Management System" can help the logistics industry to reduce the damage to the goods during the delivery of goods and the rate of loss; it can also instantly detect any collision of the goods and any improper packaging tape during delivery process. In addition, the system mainly consists of iTape intelligent tape, automotive machine/ ZigBee gateways, and an online information platform of three parts. The iTape intelligent tape embedded with piezoelectric film sensor RF circuits can instantly detect pressure and side tension on the tape, and instantly pull over to the side of abnormal pressure to the mounting posts on the freight car through ZigBee wireless transmission of car or through ZigBee gateway devices. Vehicle device / ZigBee gateway receives the abnormal pressure and tension side posts permeable for 3G / 4G network over the Internet to pass information to the online information platform.

Yi-Ji Chiu, one the team member, said that through this competition, life experience and theoretical knowledge learned from school can be put together. This is sufficient to prove the success of their training in school in terms of innovation, research, and teamwork—a combination of theory and practice through the concrete results on the development of the industry. President Tai said that, in addition to encouraging teachers and students to devote themselves to creation and invention, enhance their research and development energy, participation in international competition for innovation and entrepreneurship can also be incorporated into the inter-institution/exchanges and cooperation in the field of resources and results, which STUST has been promoting over the past few years. It can further expand creativity and exchange benefits and help them establish partnerships with other research institutes or industries. In recent years, the rise of e-commerce in countries all over the world has indirectly promote the vigorous development of the logistics industry. However, as e-commerce has been increasingly expanding people’s demand, market competition of the logistics industry is also becoming increasingly fierce. Service quality and operating costs related to factors in logistics have great impact in ensuring the integrity and timeliness of goods delivery process; therefore, how to reduce the rate of loss and damage to goods is now the key to further enhanceing its market competitiveness
