IoT-based data transmitting system using a UWB and RFID system in smart warehouse

Abstract

In the logistic environment, an automated warehouse is highly focused and implemented by the global company. To set up such a system, many sensors are installed to give the information to the central servers. To send the sensor data at the constant interval, it is necessary to use a DCU that is collecting the data and sending in a row. A DCU is easily connected to the several sensors with the different interfaces like a CAN port, UART, RS232 and so on. Functional design and hardware implementation of a DCU is performed and it is applied to the forklift that is operated to enter the shed or deliver from a warehouse. A RFID and UWB was connected to a DCU and they send their data to the server, wirelessly.
