Inventory Management System Using QR Code on Android a Case Study in Computer Engineering Department

Abstract

Inventory management is the practice overseeing and controlling of the ordering, storage and use of components that
a company uses in the production of the items it sells. Inventory management has been used as a decision-making in
countless firms and has been extensively studied in the academic and corporate spheres. The purposes of inventory
system are to know the details of the items including code, name, condition, location of items and the year of

manually or computerized. Manually inventorying is usually written data with handwriting on the data books. It has
many disadvantages. One of them is when the admin staff input the data, it is prone to be typographical errors. Here
in the Computer Engineering Department in Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT) the
inventory management still using manual process for inventorying and collect the data of an item. This inventory
management system will help the process inventorying using web-based application and also mobile application for
collecting data information. Quick Response (QR) Code technology as a unique tagging solution for each item that
store information from the server through the local network. The implementation of this system for Inventory
Management System could be a solution for manage inventorying process and stored information of inventory
through QR Code.
