Automation in Manufacturing and Retail Industry using Smart Labels

Abstract

With the new emerging technologies like the Internet of Things, Big Data and Cloud Computing, Industry 4.0 has evolved which benefits suppliers, manufacturers in industry as well as consumers which leads to Industry automation. The smart label plays a vital role in keeping track of the product from the manufacturing industry to the consumers. The system needs a computing culture that helps in data transmission and storage. The smart label used in the manufacturing industry is a small identification slip that comprises of a RFID tag along with the bar code that is placed on the product. In the existing system, the manufacturing industry depends on retailers to get feedback about the products. The retailers manually check the database to restock the products. In the proposed system, the manufacturers can track the products with the help of Smart labels stuck on the product and an RFID Reader directly without depending on the retailers.
