IoT-Cloud Based System for Warehouse Management: A Conceptual Framework

Warehouses consider as an important linking between production and final clients. Improving effectiveness, inside these facilities, will help increase of supply chain’s performance. Given the massive volume of data that need to be handled in real time, IoT and cloud computing platforms are essential in today’s warehouses. This paper proposes an IoT-Cloud based system that simplifies the streaming of information for all the processes within warehouses, from receiving to transportation. The system was realized using the interaction between Node RED, MongoDB cloud and Python environment. An illustration of the proposed system was provided by the display of the different implemented nodes in Node RED. A dynamic workspace in which different actors and objects interact with each other should be provided by the system. Future work will be dedicated to the implementation of the suggested model for the experimental data.
