Smart Warehouse Solutions for Efficient Onion Buffer Stock Management System

This research study presents an innovative smart warehouse system for onion buffer stock management. The system includes an RFID reader, a central controlling unit, a displaying unit, a temperature sensor, a moisture sensor, a relay, a cooling fan, storage nodes, and a cloud server. The RFID reader automatically tracks onion crates or pallets in the warehouse, enabling real-time visibility and traceability. The central controlling unit coordinates activities and collects data from sensors. Onions are stored at appropriate temperatures and moisture levels via sensors. Warehouse workers can monitor this data in real-time on the displaying unit once the central controlling unit processes it. Maintaining temperature and humidity need the relay and cooling fan. Based on sensor data, the main controlling unit activates the cooling fan to avoid onion spoiling. Storage nodes in the warehouse store onion bags and pallets. These nodes have RFID tags or sensors for convenient tracking of stock. Data analysis, storage, and integration depend on the cloud server. It allows advanced data analytics, forecasting, and decision-making. It also helps suppliers, distributors, and retailers communicate and distribute products efficiently. Real-time visibility, smart monitoring, and proactive management of storage conditions advance efficient operations, prevent spoiling, and improve onion supply chain efficiency.
