Abstract

An industrial warehouse is the area of a factory, machine shop, etc. for storing and retrieval of parts/objects used in production and sales. At this juncture, the current storage and retrieval system having difficulties with respective tracking the parts/objects information and space information in real time. The part/object information is usually retrieved by pulling a manual report in backend and this information is needed every moment, and also there is no availability of space information in the current system. This paper proposing a solution to overcome the problems which are faced by the operators and officers with the current system. In this approach Raspberry Pi used as predix device for sending sensor data to predix cloud, the sensors IR, Sonar and RFID used for gathering parts and space information in real time. Next, it uses the predix services for security and storage of data and predix user interface is for showing results to the users. This system also provides single window information about warehouses present around the globe, which reduces the human effort and waiting time to getting the information about single warehouse. The benefits get multiplied for total number of warehouses across the globe which is a big boost to the industry and at higher level they take decisions quickly and easily.
