Abstract: Nowadays, everything is getting digitalised in India according to the Digital India program. Lot of manual work has been replaced by digital and IoT-based technologies. The trend of using smart glasses for managing warehouses is increasing. But then, these glasses need manual interaction which may lead to manual error. So, there exists a need for a technology, which can make the inventory management in the warehouse totally digitalised and automatic. This study aims to develop a technology to reduce the manual interaction that further reduces theft, manual errors and benefits the organisation to save cost spent on workers every month. Considering the need for industrial automation, the present study provides an idea of movable barcode scanning system to measure the inventories and send a notification to supplier and the company employee for order placement as well as display currently scanned inventories on a webpage hosted by our system. This system associates the industry to be advanced, fast and digitalised especially in warehouse management.

Keywords: barcode scanning; automation; smart glasses; manual interaction; inventory management.
