Abstract

The paper presents Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based solution for inventory management reported by the researchers in various case studies of warehouses. Limitations and challenges faced by companies in monitoring and managing inventory are highlighted. To cope with the associated complexities, a centralized architecture with four different configurations is proposed. The presented configurations help to manage inventory of warehouse in an efficient and accurate manner. The final proposed configuration over-performs among previous configurations in terms of minimizing human assistance. It automates the inventory management system by making it capable of real time monitoring and construction of projects demanding simultaneous execution. It allows to meet with projects budget and deadlines. The paper also critically presents a comparative analysis of the two relevant technologies i.e. RFID and barcode.
