On Realization of Smart Logistic Warehouse Management with Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IOT) platforms can offer effective solutions in various domains. Logistic warehouse management could be facilitated with the IOT. Warehouse management activities ranging from critical equipment positioning, driver guidance, automated and accurate stock counting, pedestrian safety, shipment validation, staff tracking to consolidated view and overall system manipulation can be realized and optimized with IOT. The Cloud solutions applied in IOT improve the system mobility and integrate many plug-play peripherals into an organic entity. Also it is possible to run the whole system intelligently in the private network with or without internet access. Application Programming Interface (API) ranging fromMessage Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Constrained Application Protocol (COAP) to Lightweight Machine toMachine (LWM2M) are applicable and compatible for plug-play peripherals or newly developed applications. The IOT platform, with the employment of both software and hardware entities, ensures that the whole warehouse functions automatically and intelligently. Also, this is the prevailing technology applied in the logistics sector. In a word, within the new world of IOT and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), business equipment, devices and processes are creating new efficiency, revenue and opportunities for the warehouse management.
