Abstract:

In order to track and manage inventory efficiently, we publish and bury a barcode on every product but still we do face a couple of problems. Barcodes are long in length and enthrall much of the space. So, it makes it difficult to place it on those products that are minimum in size. In the terrain where inventory is managed, our product may be subject to wear and tear. Any minute damage to the barcode placed on the product will render it non-operational. A barcode can be read from left to right only. Still, it cannot be scanned, if placed on a product upside down. There is a limit to the characters you can render in a barcode. As we cannot add more than 20-25 characters to manage inventory more efficiently, the best result is QR Code technology. QR Codes are better way to manage inventory. In the proposed system we are developing a QR code inventory management. Through this the managers will know the status of inventory and can cover the levels from time to time. This will ensure that spare is always available in stores and eliminates the delay in process of indenting/ordering and eventually saves the cost
