Managing inventory is a major challenge for small and medium-sized retailers. Despite the existence of numerous processes to assist in this practice, they are often neglected and ineffective. Therefore, this study aims to develop a device that aids in optimizing inventory management. The proposed device is an automated shelving unit equipped with a weighing system for each shelf. This technology aims to measure the quantity of products on the shelves and send the data via Modbus TCP to a supervisory system developed in ScadaBR, which serves as the main control and management interface. The study demonstrates the real-time communication functionality and the acquisition of valuable data for analysis through the supervisory system. This work serves as a basis for future enhancements that may lead to the complete development of the automated shelving unit and field testing. The project has the potential to generate a significant positive impact on the successful development of small and mediumsized retail businesses, increasing their productivity and improving the customer experience.
