Expiry Date Alert Through Barcode using Cloud Computing
Abstract
The efficient control of inventory remains essential for industries operating in retail businesses along with pharmaceuticals and food supply chains. Product expiry date tracking represents the main organizational challenge because it serves both waste reduction and consumer safety needs. The current inventory management methods base their operations on manual tracking that proves both slow and prone to errors made by humans. A Barcode-Based Expiry Date Detection and Inventory Management System serves as our proposal which automates expiration tracking through barcode scanning and provides warning alerts to administrators or product managers before products expire. Barcode scanning activates the system to extract product details along with storing expiry dates in a cloud database while the system sends out timely notifications. Flask combined with Python and cloud technology integration enables more efficient inventory management and lower total human errors in operations. The user-friendly tracking interface enables businesses to observe products nearing expiration date through system flags which enable them to take proper measures. The system minimizes product losses while retaining expired goods from reaching customers so inventory control becomes more effective. Cloud technology powers this project by enabling precise recordkeeping that provides users access through various locations. The deployment of an automated system produces major benefits in reducing food waste together with strengthening regulatory compliance. The document investigates the system's procedures alongside its execution process while demonstrating its business effects through automated inventory tracking capabilities which lower waste from expired merchandise
