Uso de la tecnología RFID para llevar un control y rastreo para un sistema de inventario para bodegaje

Abstract

An inventory system is a management tool used to record the quantities of merchandise existing in a company, as well as to determine the cost of products sold. By means of an inventory control system, it is possible to know how much merchandise you have at a certain moment and which products are about to run out (possible stock break), as well as to determine the rotation levels of the products and identify those close to reaching their expiration date. We could also define it as the set of standards, methods and procedures used to plan and control the products or materials used by a company, so that it can function effectively. The functioning of inventory systems may vary depending on the way in which processes are automated, some companies have very agile and automated inventory systems since they allocate financial resources to update and improve their processes, others, in general, SMEs are seen behind or at a disadvantage when faced with the possibility of automating their processes, many times it is because they do not allocate the financial resource or do not have qualified personnel to carry out the work, or it could also be said that they face a fear of change to adopt new technologies such as RFID. Companies must face changes to automate processes and thus add commercial value to their economic activity. Every day new options to automate processes come to the market and more so now with the 4th industrial revolution, that is why SMEs must create awareness that it is time to take the step for change.
