Abstract

Inventory control is an element of great importance for the development of large, medium and small companies, for this reason the main objective of this study is to create an app implementing QR code for inventory control in Air Force warehouses. Colombiana, which will allow carrying out the inventory management method in the warehouses of the Colombian Air Force, making use of technological tools in the globalized world to facilitate control in this type of areas and functions. This will allow for a more rigorous control of inventory administration and management of administrative processes for the warehouses of the aeronautical logistics center, miscellaneous, aerial weapons and ground weapons, thereby generating doctrine in the logistics process, standardizing activities and controls for the inventory management and warehouse control. This leads to obtaining as a result a correct decision making facilitating the execution of the activities of the warehouses that will allow having an essential strategic stock to guarantee the operations of the Colombian Air Force, in the same way it reflects the opportunity to improve the operation of this area of great importance for the daily operation of the institution’s activities. This being essential for the correct development of the institutional mission, ensuring that we always have the products regardless of the conditions that may arise, such as a possible war.

To complement the monitoring of the processes followed in the development of the application, we have the following requirements:

  1. 1.

    Identification of administrators and users: An identification system is implemented through an ID and a role assigned to each user. Administrators have additional privileges to access specific functionality.

  2. 2.

    Registration of tools and users: A button is incorporated for administrators to select whether they want to register a new tool or a new user. By clicking on the corresponding button, a form will open where the relevant data is entered, such as name, description, category and other relevant details.

  3. 3.

    QR and Barcode Search: To make finding tools easier, a QR and Barcode Scan button is included. By using the camera of the mobile device, the user can scan the code of the tool and get the corresponding information automatically.

  4. 4.

    Search via search bar: In addition to code scanning, a search bar is provided where users can enter keywords, names or descriptions to search for specific tools. As you enter your search term, a database query is performed to find matches and display relevant results.

  5. 5.

    Recording and storage in SharePoint: All data entered, whether it is user or tool records, is recorded and stored in SharePoint tables. This allows to have a centralized and accessible database to perform queries and generate reports later.

It is important to mention that the development of the application has been carried out following the best user interface design practices, ensuring an intuitive and easy-to-use experience. Usability aspects, such as the logical layout of the elements, the use of clear labels and visual feedbacTo complement the monitoring of the processes followed in the development of the application, we have the following requirements:

The validation of the application will be carried out through the participation of experts in the field, who will evaluate the functionality, usability and the relationship between the inventory records and the control panels. Your comments and suggestions will be collected and considered to make further improvements and optimizations in the application, ensuring its effectiveness and compliance with the objectives established in the research document.
