This paper describes the basic elements of logistics and pays special attention to improvement possibilities in packaging, handling, storage and transportation phases where manpower and personnel also play an important role. To decrease the error rate of object selection and decision-making time it is necessary to simplify natural logistics element execution and make it more humane where human resources are involved. Modern technologies can improve those processes by taking care of stressful situations and depressing warehouse worker routines. Augmented reality (AR) offers a key technology to solve these problems by allowing to make decisions based on computer generated visualizations and 3D model projections. The successful use of AR technologies in various industries and some experimental approbation in warehouse environments confirms the potential and perspectives. The use of instructions in three dimensional space instead of text and image based guides is a general improvement which is also introduced in this paper

Integrated Acceptance and Sustainability Assessment Model (IASAM) is a new approach for evaluation of technologies that combines socio-economic aspects and socio-technical characteristics of technology development and exploitation. Previous IASAM model was based on UTAUT acceptance model and it was laborious. The potential acceptance is a very challenging issue and has been studied by many authors. One of the leading theories regarding the acceptance recognition is Theory on Diffusion of Innovations by Rogers. This paper describes the application of this theory in evaluation of technology acceptance and sustainability within the IASAM2 model

The European 7th Framework FP7-ICT-2009-5 project CHOReOS No. 257178 (2010-2013) “Large Scale Choreographies for the Future Internet (IP)” is aimed to elaborate on new methods and tools related to Future Internet ultra-large-scale (ULS) solution development based on the use of choreographies. The purpose of this research is to identify exploitable CHOReOS products and approaches and business market trends that may exploit them. The aim is to collect and assess early market inputs, thereby ensuring that market needs are addressed properly by the CHOReOS project. The market acceptance assessment is done using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), but the credibility of results is assessed using Cronbach's Alpha, Split-Half Reliability and Spearman–Brown testing methods

One important component of the gross domestic product (GDP) is logistics services the quality and added value of which is growing due to the application of modern information and communication technologies and electronics. RFID use increases the performance of logistics items identification, however some errors, which could cause substantial damage and losses, remain. The amount of potential errors could be diminished by the additional checking of items using 3D visualisation. The authors researched the use of augmented reality for item visualisation in a warehouse combining AR and RFID solutions

The paper discusses the key issues of the application of modelling and simulation for management of the Riga Harbour Container Terminal (RHCT), which have been explored within the concerted action project, "Appli cation of Modern Concepts in the Automated Information Management in Harbours by Using Advanced IT-Solutions." The project was financed by the European Commission in 1995-1997 under the COPERNICUS-1994 Programme. It was aimed at improving logistics processes at RHCT, the largest container terminal on the Baltic Sea, playing an important role in the transit transport chain between western European countries and eastern countries of the former Soviet Union (Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine, etc.). The problems considered and approaches to solve them are not unique for RHCT, but are typical for growing harbours. Therefore, the results obtained could be used as a guideline for solving analogous problems at other harbours.

The main objective of this paper is to describe the logistics processes improvement by use of AR (augmented reality) and hybrid RFID (Radio-frequency identification) technologies in outdoor environment. Augmented reality and RFID nowadays are well known and widespread technologies. It is possible to achieve functional and perspective system by merging these technologies together. The paper provides theoretical characteristics of logistics, RFID, AR technologies and offers theoretical model for idea implementation and approbation. Model depicts markerless AR-RFID solution for outdoor object tracking and 3D model visualization. Also physical structure and basic calculations are offered to provide necessary fundamentals for development of test platform and pilot product. Provision of outdoor object tracking and 3D model visualization may significantly impact and improve logistics processes in varies of fields
