The architecture of an intelligent inventory management system based on Industry 4.0 technologies: a glance

Keywords: Inventory management, Internet of Things, RFID

Abstract

Today, companies are facing a global, technological, and competitive market (commerce through e-commerce and Industry 4.0). Due to this competition, supply chain management represents one of the most important factors in the profitability of a business. Among the different links in the supply chain, warehouses are an essential component in the supply chain and are increasingly seen as strategic facilities to provide competitive advantages. The operational challenges in inventory control and management in complex operating environments are due to the uncertainty or randomness of the various interlocking business processes. To face these challenges, incorporating emerging Industry 4.0 technologies into logistics and supply chain processes can actively contribute to accelerating solutions related to warehouse operations and management. In this manuscript, is presented qualitative research, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, to identify the main components of an architecture for an intelligent inventory management system based on Industry 4.0 technologies. Research shows that architecture is based on two major technologies, Internet of Things and Radio Frequency Identification systems. It was also identified that the majority of intelligent systems based on Internet of Things, must consider 5 layers to manage and control inventory intelligently.
