Enhancing Warehouse Inventory Management through IoT Tools for Monitoring Stock Items

The increasing demand for personalized products and a global presence complicates inventory management, requiring accurate and timely stock information. To address this, businesses must leverage Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, which connect various electronic devices to the internet via advancements in cloud technology, sensor networks, and wireless communication. This research proposes a tailored IoT architecture for warehouse inventory checking processes, focusing on real-time tracking and visibility, cost reduction, enhanced security, improved inventory management, and increased supply chain speed. Implementing an IoT-based Warehouse Inventory Management system, designed with four layers (Physical, Gateway, Middleware, and Application), significantly improves operational efficiency and inventory tracking. While human involvement remains necessary, IoT solutions optimize inventory management and enhance overall efficiency.
