Automated Hierarchical Stock Inventory Management with IoT and cloud based solutions. A Risc V story. A late breaking paper.

Abstract

Abstract: We are entering a new era in automation, where AWS or Azure cloud based IoT solutions are being used to automate stock inventory management and retail. Inspired by Amazon’s Go store franchise, the author has developed the Go-Pi box as a primary retail cache with a feed from a secondary warehouse cache with innovative IoT based inventory stock keeping. With the increased societal and academic pressure for an experimental approach, the author proposes an experimental methodology of data collection, using a network of pi-boxes on a pilot basis, using Amazon Go technology, in collaboration with Amazon, for a viability check, using predictive analytics, of the evolution of retail e-commerce to a multi tier cache based Pi-Box called “Just Walk Out”.(“Just Walk Out” n.d.) The pertinent research problems are: 1. Development of a flexible plastic system on chip, with passive power sources, to evolve an RFID based solution to an IoT and cloud/SaaS based solution using the things network with NFC/Lora/SigFox for connectivity. 2. Evolution of the humble vending machine to a smaller Amazon Go retail experience. While Amazon franchises its deep learning based shopping experience, I would like to use that technology with the Go-Pi, a democratized vending machine, that logs peoples donations and gives credit for that while selling Amazon Go products as well as offering the donations for free to people with the app. While we develop better automated stock management for both the warehouse feed and the Pi box.
