Inventory Management System Through the Integration of RPA and IoT to Enhance Processes in SMEs Within Peru’s Automotive Sector

Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of an inventory management system that integrates Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to enhance operational efficiency in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within Peru's automotive sector. The system addresses common challenges faced by SMEs, such as inaccurate inventories and inefficient stock management, through automated processes and real-time monitoring. By streamlining repetitive tasks and enabling continuous inventory updates, the solution reduces operating costs and improves record-keeping accuracy. Initial results show a 30% reduction in management time and a 25% decrease in operational costs, highlighting the transformative potential of RPA and IoT technologies in inventory management. The project offers a practical model that can be scaled and replicated across other sectors, contributing to the long-term competitiveness of SMEs.
