  Abstract

It is essential to get the exact location information of products for a warehouse management. It is very hard, however, to know the location of products which change their location in warehouse frequently. This causes the effective warehouse management to be almost impossible. In this paper, we suggest a new location management system for such a SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) with high mobility. The system is composed of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification), a management terminal with wireless LAN, mobile devices (Cellular Phone & PDA), and a central management system. As a model of a SKU with high mobility, we selected a used-car stored in a large-scale warehouse. We designed and implanted used-car location management system. After analyzing the operations of each position in used-car warehouse where the system will run, we implemented each function. This research shows that an embedded system with wireless LAN is able to know the status of coming in and out and location of a SKU with high mobility in warehouse very accurately in real time. Therefore, it makes the warehouse to be controlled systematically.
