Abstract

We all know that in today’s highly competitive world, everything has been developed by some technologies like IOT, digital, cloud, sensors, etc. Nowadays warehouses and inventories are facing so many problems like huge amount of human’s involvement in work and manual errors (or) human errors, and lot of workers are required for controlling or managing the process. May be sometimes human could make errors, but machines never could make errors. So that we are presenting a new idea which is movable bar code scanner using IOT (industry automation and smart glasses) for reducing the problems in warehouses and inventories. It can make the industry foster (advance), quick, efficient, and better digitalized.
