Technology Overview
The modern system of accounting for the movement of goods in companies requires the constant presence of people: control over the receipt and write-off of products, monitoring the balance of goods, timely placing an order. Designers have developed a unique technology that will make all these processes independent of people. This technology unifies smart shelves that track the movement of goods in the warehouse by itself and a special platform that collects data from shelves in real time and automatically notifies about or places an order for goods. Smart Shelf technology will be useful both for companies in the retail and manufacturing segment and for small companies that need to avoid downtime due to late delivery.
Technology Features and Specification
The platform consist of:
- Software platform for collecting, analyzing data and automatically placing orders
- Strain gauge sensors.
- Shelf for storing goods.
- Controller for collecting and sending data from the shelves
- Display for the shelf with the image of the product and data about it.
- Estimated weight per shelf from 100 g to 5000 kg.
- Data transmission technology: LoRaWAN, Wi-fi, GSM.
- Power source: power supply unit for 5V. Alternatively, battery for 10 hours of autonomous work.
- Mobile application
Customer Benefits
The technology will be useful primarily to the business segment as it can significantly reduce the risks of business downtime due to human error. In addition, this technology opens up new opportunities for competitive business development by improving the quality of the service provided and optimizing the logistics process.
An important difference between the technologies is the ease of its integration into existing business systems (CRM, ERP, online store platforms). Due to this, the technology becomes the most accessible and adaptable for rapid implementation into the current business processes of almost any company.
