Description
Summary:The current organizational methods employed in storage facilities and stores are predominantly manual, lacking proper systematic management, particularly in convenience stores where inventory management is often disorganized. The absence of categorization and a systematic approach complicates inventory tracking, leading to unreliability and significant manual labor each time an item needs to be checked or restocked. This challenge is also observed in courier service storage facilities, delivery trucks, and hubs, resulting in a high incidence of missing parcels due to inadequate management. To address these inefficiencies, this research aims to develop an inventory management system that reduces manual labor by implementing Arduino microcontroller technology, NFC stickers/tags, and NFC modules. Additionally, the system leverages PLX-DAQ add-ins to seamlessly export data from the microcontroller into Microsoft Excel, facilitating real-Time inventory updates and management. By achieving these objectives, it can save time and labor power, significantly improving the reliability and efficiency of inventory management in both convenience stores and courier service facilities. © 2024 IEEE.
