Design and implementation of an item positioning management system
Abstract
Keeping track of the location of physical items is a common problem in both personal and small-scale business environments. Existing inventory management solutions often focus on quantity tracking rather than spatial organization and typically require signifi- cant domain knowledge, leading users to rely on informal methods such as spreadsheets that do not scale well and are prone to inconsistency and errors. This thesis focuses on the development of a visual item location management system that supports spatially accurate tracking of physical items. The system allows users to model real-world spaces using customizable floor plans and furniture representations, providing visual context for item placement and organization, while supporting intuitive item placement, movement, and real-time location lookup. Compared to existing solutions, the system emphasizes spatial accuracy, usability, and extensibility, making it particularly suitable for personal use and small organizations without professional inventory infrastructure.
