Abstract :The data in a tracking event are usually an object that enables tracking, a tracked object, and the time information at which these two objects interact. These data can be obtained using different technologies which are expected to be widely used in Industry 4.0, such as RFID, image processing, ibeacon. Tracked object’s electronic product code (EPC), tracker object’s code and time interaction data obtained with these technologies are transferred to the cloud thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), which is also considered as one of the components of Industry 4.0. Thus “big data”, another component of Industry 4.0, is formed. In this study, how to reduce tracking data without losing its value and then how to convert it into meaningful data by processing step by step are explained with prepared algorithms. These processed data are used for different reports. The queries used for tracking and the relative time algorithms to evaluate efficiency were shared also in the study. Although studied tracking data is obtained by short-range RFID, these algorithms can be used for different technologies that perform object tracking.
