Abstract/Summary

Most warehouses today still utilizes manual inventory counting which is very prone to errors and is not time efficient. This thesis aims to replace manual counting to automated tallying with the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and weighing scale. The object is to create a warehouse management system that can monitor the count of the products and is time efficient with regards to tallying the inventory. The system can also track the location of the boxes if it is misplaced or missing within the bins of the warehouse.

The system is composed of weighing scale, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, RFID tags, and microstrip patch antennas. The RFID system uses UHF frequency of 915Hz.

The weighing scale counts the contents of the boxes as they are placed on top of the scale and sends it to the main database. On the other hand, a microstrip patch antenna was designed through corporate feeding and together with the RFID reader, it monitors the status of the boxes by reading its RFID tags. This way, a more accurate and time efficient warehouse management system was employed.
