tiny FIFO

To improve storage utilization, free location management is prefferable to fix location solution. But in case of free location FIFO (First In First Out) must be controlled by system. To keep infrmation which box/item is the oldest, either Inventory system is capable of, or various mechanical markings/estabilisments are needed.

This application solves the problem how to identify the oldest material/parts location by scanning the parts and location address when part is stored, and retrieving such information when part is needed. It is vital that your Location adresses are identified by barcodes same as your materials/parts

Target device is Android powered BarCode scanner.

Application allows following operations:

1. storage of material - materials/parts must be scanned together with Location address and such information is stored in the device permanent memory

2. Oldest item identification - by scanning the Part number of material/part, the Location address of the oldest storage is displayed

3. Return of taken parts - unused materials might be needed to return back to storage. Mateirials/parts stored throgh "returning" operation will be shown at the first place for take out operation

4. Inventory stocktaking - simply by scanning Location address the content od that location is shown on display and can be compared with actual situation.

5. Display all Locations for specific Material/Part - usefull when all Materials must be seen/checked without removing them from Location

This is one_device_for_one_storage solution - data are stored localy in one device, so this application is suitable only for small storages operated by few members who can share one scanner.

I have developed this application based on actual need and if you find it useful, please enjoy - there are no limitations for DB size except physical size of devide internal memory.

Thank you
