Efficiency and reliability of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are crucial in the fast- paced world of modern logistics, especially through Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory management. ITB Logistics UPT faces issues with the duration of goods provision, which takes 2-3 days because the warehouse functions only as a transit place. To solve this problem, an integrated warehouse management system consisting of embedded system devices with barcode and RFID scanner technology, complemented by a web-based integrated information system, is needed. This system is expected to automatically update information in the database to ensure accurate information and handle incoming data volumes quickly. The integration between sensors and the information system is the primary focus of the author to support effective warehouse management and increase the speed of fulfilling goods requirements. The author also designs and implements power management to ensure the devices operate well without power supply interruptions. Additionally, the author designs the system's connectivity by implementing the HTTP protocol on PSoC 6 and communication using Wi-Fi with the information system. Moreover, the ergonomics of the device casing are also a primary concern in the design to ensure ease of use by warehouse operators. The system developed by the author has undergone testing and verification against the technical specifications planned at the start of product development. In terms of system integration, it can already perform consistent deliveries with a delivery duration to the back- end of less than 12 seconds. However, there are still areas that can be improved, such as the verification tests for device ergonomics and the system deep sleep feature, which have not yet been implemented.
