Design
Smart Inventory System for Dubai Cosmetics
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Your task is to design a smart inventory system for GlowDubai's warehouse. The system should use weight sensors on shelves and RFID tags on products to track inventory. Data must be transmitted via LoRaWAN to a cloud platform for analysis. Success means reducing stockouts by 50% and overstock by 30% within 6 months. Constraints: budget under AED 200,000, use existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, and integrate with their current ERP. Deliverables include a system architecture diagram, sensor selection justification, communication protocol choice, and a predictive analytics model outline.
