A Smart Warehouse Design and Inventory Management System

The current problems in traditional warehouse management systems include errors in manual data entry, delays in

updating the inventory, inefficient monitoring of the environment, and inefficient space utilization. This paper describes a

software, WareAssist – the integrated solution for smart warehouse management, which includes the integration of 3D layout

generation with IoT sensors to deliver real-time inventory management, automated warehouse layout generation, and ERP

dashboard features. The hardware used for WareAssist is the ESP32 controller, combined with an RFID reader, ultrasonic

sensor, temperature and humidity sensor and air quality sensor. The software consists of the React and TypeScript front end

using Three.js for generating 3D visualizations of the warehouse, Node.js and Express REST API, and a PostgreSQL relational

database secured through JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication. Experimental data shows that WareAssist can generate

responses for the API in 50 to 100 milliseconds, deliver RFID scan results to display in 1 to 2 seconds, and provides 3D

rendering at 60 frames per second.
