Keeping accurate stock counts in a busy industrial warehouse is a constant battle. Every miscount means either a production line stalling because a critical part is missing, or excess inventory eating up valuable shelf space. Paper-based adjustments get scribbled down, entered hours later into an ERP system, and inevitably contain errors. This project solves that problem by placing a rugged touchscreen terminal directly on the warehouse floor - right where inventory lives.
The target audience is warehouse operatives, stock clerks, and shift supervisors. These are people wearing gloves, often in a hurry, who need a fast and foolproof way to record stock movements without walking back to an office PC or fumbling with a handheld scanner’s tiny screen. The terminal is wall-mounted or bolted to a standing kiosk at the end of an aisle or near a receiving dock.
The screen is divided into three functional zones plus a running log. On the left, a large numeric keypad lets the operator punch in a four-digit Item ID or scan it via a connected barcode reader. The center panel immediately displays the matched item’s name, its exact rack and shelf location, and a circular gauge showing the current stock level at a glance - green means healthy, trending toward cyan as stock drops. On the right, a linear gauge compares the current quantity against its minimum threshold, making it instantly obvious whether a reorder is needed. Two oversized buttons - “Add Stock” and “Remove Stock” - let the worker record an adjustment with a single tap. Every adjustment is timestamped and logged in a scrollable table at the bottom, giving supervisors a live audit trail of the last ten transactions.
The result is a streamlined, tap-and-go workflow that replaces a chaotic manual process. Inventory accuracy improves in real time, minimum-stock alerts are visible the moment they happen, and the adjustment history provides accountability across every shift.
