Abstract
Resources, for example, switch gears may travel a large number of miles, changing hands a few times or more, before they arrive at their last goals. In this intricate circumstance, slips up or resources being taken along the gracefully chain are unavoidable. Regardless of how strong the coordinations arrange for a specific resource, sooner or later a transporter will stall out in rush hour gridlock, or a carton will be deferred at a stockroom, or a benefit will disappear by and large. With customary gracefully chain the executives arrangements, coordinations administrators frequently do not get some answers concerning postponed or misrouted resources until those advantages show up after the expected time or not under any condition at their goals. These hours convert into lost efficiency, postponed creation and harmed customer connections. However, with newer technological advancements such as Internet of Things (IoT) and Radio Frequency Integrated Devices (RFID), these problems could be avoided or minimized and significantly reduce losses whereby the location of assets could be monitored in real time, as they travel along worldwide transportation routes. Furthermore, the technology allows the industry to visualize and manage critical goods from anywhere, at any time, on a global scale. In this research, we aim to design a conceptual framework and a physical design of automating switch gear asset supply chain management system for a TNB subsidiary company and test its effectiveness as a futuristic system for asset tracking. However this paper reports on the conceptual design approach. � 2020 IEEE.
