Pengembangan Prototype Smart Inventory System berbasis teknologi RFID untuk Industri Garmen

Abstract

A garment industry always has large variety of products with a high production rate. Thus, it makes difficult to track the stock and location of raw materials by using manual operation. To overcoming these problems, we propose an inventory system that integrated with the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology that can find products quickly and provide real-time data visibility. In this research, the design and manufacture of an RFID-based inventory system prototype were conducted. The test results showed that the reading’s success rate and location suitability reached 100% in detecting incoming items one-by-one, but the success rate decreased to 93.33% when detecting several incoming goods simultaneously. The inability of the infrared sensor to read the unique identification of RFID causes an error in detecting the type of goods on the shelf. In addition, its has found that tag orientation that is not aligned with the reader can increase tag activation power and tag reading failure.
