Smart Warehouse management system

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT), in recent decades, has been explored to develop new technologies that work in a variety of ways in various technologies, especially in the food industry. A warehouse is a mercantile architecture for entrepot of stuff. Warehouses are used by producers, dealers, traders, wholesalers, distributors, customs, etc. The use of a smart warehouse management system (WMS) is the cherry on top of all of smart technology. This warehouse should be screened at regular intervals to reduce storage cost of food grains due to atmospheric conditions and are to be documented. With the enlargement of business and the continuous requirements of the food product multiplicity, old style granary management prototype will not meet that, due to its heavy capacity and low proficiency. To mitigate the manual labor work and to make the work easier, a smart warehouse is implemented which is enabled with several sensors and technologies. This work intends to develop an IoT based smart WMS. The system is made up of temperature, humidity, smoke, Passive-Infrared (PIR) and fire sensors connected to the ESP8266 microcontroller, which provide vital information needed to achieve the quality of food. The input information from the sensors is processed by the controller and transmitted to the Blynk cloud wirelessly. The user can track changes in product quality from time to time. WMS provides an easy-to- se visual and analytical sensor data application for an effective and inexpensive monitoring system. The system developed has great advantages compared with the traditional model in terms of Blynk-cloud access of the warehouse data.
