Developing Real-Time Inventory Status System Using LabVIEW

Managing inventory effectively is important for the smooth operation of large retail stores. Traditional methods, like manual counting, can be slow and prone to errors. This paper introduces a real-time inventory monitoring system using LabVIEW to improve accuracy and efficiency. The system automates the import and export of products. It uses bar-code scanning and smart data handling to update inventory in real-time. By instantly checking scanned items against a database, it ensures that product quantities are always up-to-date. This reduces the need for manual work and helps keep track of product quantities more accurately. With this system, retail stores can operate more efficiently and maintain better control over their inventory. Additionally, the system features alerts for low stock levels and simplifies bulk product updates using weight-based calculations, further enhancing its practicality and usefulness in a busy retail environment.
