Abstract


Blockchain technology is proving to be a disruptive technology in many areas of supply chain, manufacturing, medical, agriculture, and so on. Warehouses are an inevitable part of the supply chain. Issues like space optimization, route optimization, quick item pick-up, demand forecasting, and transaction management are of importance to address in warehouse management systems (WMS). Traditional database systems have limitations of interoperability among different entities involved in warehouses. This paper presents an innovative application of blockchain technology and machine learning (ML) to build a smart warehouse management system in Web3 (SWMW3). We developed a decentralized application (DApp) using Web3.0 principles, integrating ReactJS for the frontend, express for the backend, and blockchain through smart contracts. This integration enhances security and transparency by storing WMS operational data in the blockchain and automating payments and verifications through smart contracts. Additionally, we implemented a ML model for predicting the total time from order receipt to delivery, leveraging historical data to optimize workflow, reduce delays, and improve overall efficiency. This combination of blockchain for secure transactions and ML for predictive analytics generates a robust, efficient, and optimized management system for the warehouse.
