QR Code Scanner code snippet

Inspiration

As CSE students, there is a necessity to make use of our skills for the betterment of the country, and we look forward to gain hands-on experience on AI related real time projects. Hence we are willing to take up this project in order to showcase our skills and help out solving the problems faced by the Defence corridor, thus contributing to the betterment of the nation.

What it does

The whole world has now turned towards Artificial Intelligence as it now stands one of the most efficient domains in computer science reducing human efforts and time. It improves the efficiencies of the system and works on the voluminous datasets, interprets various patterns, and then solves real time problems. Thus, AI could be incorporated in the project as it would use inventory dataset to optimize inventory control by removing the complexity of data volumes that were traditionally the torment of inventory managers.

How we built it

We are currently working on the web application which could manage the inventories in an efficient way. The main objective is to develop an AI based Inventory management Web App by performing the following tasks :

To develop a speech to text conversion API to Identify the target class/item.
To develop a dictionary based search algorithm to reduce the computational cost of the model.
To develop an algorithm that predicts the future requirement and scarcity of the stock in the inventory setup.
To recommend related items to the user based on the search item using reinforcement learning.
To develop an interface which could provide the access to the user to request for the required items.
To develop a QR code scanner to keep track of each Item in the inventory using Zbar library (with Python Binding).
We could adopt ABC analysis using Gaussian Mixture Model to categorize different inventories.

Challenges we ran into

Completing 6 modules in stipulated time. Developing a user based search recommendations through reinforcement learning is a tough task to tackle. Adding to it, development of web app is one among the challenges that we faced.
