National Distribution Center of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies in Indonesia has a problem with is stock opname accuracy, which is not 100% due to human errors caused by manual recording and complex stocktaking processes. To solve this problem, an integrated software-hardware warehouse management system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is proposed for data acquisition, and cloud technology is proposed for the warehouse management system. By integrating the system, users can make improvements as the system generates notifications when human errors occur. With the designed system, users can perform stocktaking more quickly. This final project document focuses on the development of the warehouse management system (WMS) subsystem, which consists of a database, data processor, and user interface. The database stores the scanned data obtained from the data acquisition subsystem. The data stored in the database is read, updated, deleted, and created by the data processor. The data processor serves as a data provider requested by the user interface and gateway/access point. The user interface displays data provided by the data processor to the users through a web app. The designed and implemented subsystems have been tested and verified to meet the specifications. Specifically, for the warehouse management system subsystem, it works 100% according to the visual and functional specifications. However, overall, the system still has limitations in the accuracy of reading multiple tags in a single scanner reading. To address the aforementioned problem, further solutions still need to be developed.
