The problem Inventory Management and Monitoring System solves

Manual Inventory Tracking:
Traditional manual inventory tracking methods are prone to errors, delays, and inefficiencies, leading to stockouts or overstocking. The system automates the inventory monitoring process, providing real-time data on stock levels and ensuring accurate and timely inventory management.

Inefficient Billing Process:
Conventional billing processes often rely on manual calculations, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. The system streamlines billing by automatically calculating and generating bills based on the quantity of items purchased, reducing manual effort and improving billing accuracy.

Temperature and Safety Monitoring:
Monitoring temperature and safety conditions in storage areas is essential to maintain product quality and prevent hazards. The system enhances safety and compliance by continuously monitoring temperature and gas levels, providing alerts, and controlling environmental conditions to ensure optimal storage conditions.

Challenges we ran into

Sensor accuracy and calibration:
Achieving accurate sensor measurements, especially ultrasonic sensors for distance measurement and environmental sensors for temperature and gas levels, has been a challenge. Calibration and noise reduction were critical to obtain accurate readings. Fine-tuning the sensor configurations and accounting for environmental factors that could affect sensor performance required iterative testing and code adaptation.
Email and network reliability:
Implementing stock alerts and other critical event email notifications required a stable internet connection and robust email configuration. Unreliable network connections or problems with SMTP servers can cause delayed or missing notifications, affecting system performance. An important consideration was to overcome network issues and deliver consistent email under various network conditions.
