Indoor Cargo Vending System Development and Development Environment Design

Abstract

The rapid expansion of e-commerce caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has increased the significance of the logistics industry. Processes for delivery and return need to be more adaptable and effective in this situation. Smart outdoor cargo vending systems have been created to satisfy this need. These systems do, however, have some drawbacks, such as security and energy usage. In order to address the issues with outdoor vending, this paper presents an indoor smart cargo vending system with high security and minimal energy consumption. Customers have the choice to pick up or return their orders with the help of this system. Additionally, this creative solution aids e-commerce businesses in decreasing logistics expenses and raising customer satisfaction. For manufacturers of vending machines and e-commerce businesses, this proposed indoor smart cargo vending system provides solutions for all scenarios of cargo order processes. This solution combines the design of the system's hardware and software with a methodology that has been discussed in the scientific literature. The study's conclusion suggests a novel indoor smart cargo vending system that was created in response to the logistical difficulties brought on by the expansion of e-commerce. This system can have a positive impact in key areas like security, energy efficiency, and customer satisfaction, and it can be seen as a significant advancement for the logistics sector.
